I think that the operative problem here was the need for multiple file
transfers. If you've found a way to get PcCopy to copy all files on a disk
without having to do them one at a time, I'd like to hear about it. If not,
I agree with Scott about it being a pain to have to click on each file,
possibly having to descend into multiple levels of subdirectories, etc.

Scott, have you checked into DOS-2-DOS (sp?). I don't own a copy, nor have 
I used it, but from descriptions I've heard of the product, I suspect it 
may do what you need. Alas, its not freeware, but if you have a need for it, 
it might be worth the cost.
