Has anybody figured out how to make DOS 2.0S or DOS 2.5 write DOS files
under program control?

I am trying to automate setting up a RAMdisk for specific applications.
So far, I have load modules which will (a) install a RAMdisk, (b) INITialize
the RAMdisk, (c) automatically copy a list of files from one disk to another,
e.g. the boot disk to the RAMdisk.  I would like to be able to insert a module
which writes the DOS files before copying any other files.  However, I have
not yet been able to figure out how to do this.  Any help that is forthcoming
will be greatly appreciated.
