- Can anyone tell me where I can ftp a faster copy utility from? I 
- have a regular ST1040, and the one-file-at-a-time
- swap-diskettes-til-you-bleed method is doing me harm. Thanks in
- advance.
 
For the first year I had my ST, before I got a hard drive, I used a 
RAM disk.  You can copy the files over to it, swap disks, and then 
copy them back.  Or, you can get NeoDesk.  It loads as many files 
into memory as possible and then copies them to disks. (I got 3.0 on 
the weekend and it's GREAT!!)

It's a good thing you don't have a Mac. You'd be swapping disks even 
when you're not copying!
