The doscp program works as advertised, except that (on the IBM version)
the DOS files must be specified IN UPPER CASE (the manual is wrong.)
Note that the Xenix format command won't do, you must format the disks
under DOS.  And, the filenames must be legal for DOS; .mailrc and
foo.bar.baz fail.  Here are some lines from a Makefile:

FLOP = B:
	doscp -r yamk.exe B:
	doscp -r yamdemo.exe X:
	doscp -r yamdg.exe X:
doscp:
	doscp -r PC/* $(FLOP)PC
	doscp -r *.mac *.[sch] Makefile setsn $(FLOP)

Definitions for X: and B: are in /etc/default/msdos:
B=/dev/fd148ds9
E=/dev/E
X=/dev/fd096ds15
