The utility F I
LEe 0 P Y allows you to copy files from one disc to another using a
single drive.
It
copes with disc changing and gives full instructions on
the
screen. If a
wild-card filename is specified
then
F I LEe 0 P Y asks you to confirm
that
you indeed
wish to copy each file on
an
individual basis. The program informs you of each
filename as each file is copied.
