     Dos2Dos has a number of nice features.  It lets you look at a
directory of an MS-DOS disk and it lets you use the asterisk as a wild-card
character.  That can really simplify the process of copying a large number
of files.

     However, the PCUtilities supplied on the Workbench 1.2 and WorkBench
1.3 Extras disk do a pretty nice job copying from an unmounted 5.25" disk
drive.  And when you add PCPatch2 to the directory you can copy from a 3.5"
or 5.25" disk formatted for 360K or 720K and it doesn't matter if the drive
is already mounted.  If it is the program just displays the "DF#:BUSY"
icon.

     You can make an exact duplicate of the file, but if you select
"Text-7" or "Text-8" filtering the CR-LF pairs will be replaced with LFs.
It's a very nice utility and it's free!
