Have I overlooked something obvious???

My pc is configured with a floppy (a:) and a hard disk (c:). Frequently
I need to copy files SELECTIVELY from one floppy to another. The
procedure I use is to first copy them from drive (a) to (c) and then
from drive (c) to the "new floppy" in drive (a).

Seems like there should be a variation of "copy" that will move the
files from drive (a) into a memory buffer until full, prompt me to
insert the "copy to" diskette, write out the buffer, and so on till
done.

Did I miss something in MS-DOS? If not, seems like a good candidate for
another utility (maybe it already exists).

Thanks,
Scott Davis
