I can't take it any more.  On SCO Xenix 2.3.3, my doscp takes SO
long to copy files!  Sometimes it runs out of memory!  Is there an
alternative method?  (No, I don't have VP/ix - will anyone sell me
a copy for cheap?)  I have used the DOS utilities under Minix, and
in many cases Minix will read and write DOS files FASTER than DOS.
I would hope that there would that Xenix would be able to do so somehow.
Perhaps someone has ported the Minix utilities to Xenix?  If not,
I may - before I go insane waiting for doscp to finish.

Thanks,
Dave Smith
