I have copied GeoPaint and GeoWrite from a 1571 disk to another 1571 disk
via one drive method (drag icon to boarder, swap disks, etc.) many times.
Using Geos 128, it takes only one swap and it copies rather fast!

I could copy it to the 1581 then back to another 1571 disk, but it is
still silly to have to do that!!  Oh well, could be worst.
