Hi -
I have a lagre directory with a ton of subdirectories which I need to copy over to a zip drive. How can I do this without having to go into each subdirectory?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
JB

Find a Windows 95 PC and copy eiher XCOPY.exe or XCOPY32.exe from C:\WINDOWS (or C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND .. I can't remember exactly.

Then take the floppy to the PC and copy the files to the hard disk.

If you type XCOPY /? then it will tell you the syntax and you can include various switches to allow the inclusion of sub directories.

Best Regards,
Th' Cat
