COPY
Copy files from one drive to another in a dual disk
drive or within a single drive.
COPY <[“source filename”] [.Ddrive number] >TO<
[“destinationfilename”] [,Ddrive number]> [CON | ,>Udevice]
This command copies files from one disk (the source file) to
another (the destination file) on a dual-disk drive. It can also
create a copy of a file on the same disk within a single drive, but
the filename must be different. When copying from one drive to
another, the filename may be the same.
The COPY command can also COPY all the files from one drive
to another on a dual disk drive, ln this case the drive numbers are
specified and the source and destination filenames are omitted.
The default parameters for the COPY command are device
number 8, drive 0.
Note: Copying between two single or double disk drive units
cannot be done. See BACKUP.
