PC Mag has a set of utilities to manage files and directories, available
from simtel et al. as msdos/pcmag:

DIRMAG2.ARC   B   31693  891226  DIRMAGIC v2.0, upgraded DR/RN/CO from PC Mag.

The program called CO is the best of the lot, and can maybe solve your
problems.  It displays a scrolable directory listing, on which you can
mark files with the grey "+" and "-" keys.  Then you can perform an
action such as copy, delete, or move on all the tagged files.  If you
run out of disk space on the target, it a) skips to the next file, to
see if it will fit, b) leaves all UNPROCESSED files marked, so you can
change the floppy and try again.  The only thing this program is missing
is mouse support.

Good luck,
