file copy code in pb3.5

[dave lundahl]

in pb3.5, i need to be able to copy files of various sizes
from one drive (in a 3.11 network) to another system drive

some are executable up to 430k
some are chain files up to 60k
some are data files (arrays and simple sequential) from 2k to 5k

hopefully in a simple manner like
copy drive f:\dir\filename.*
to drive c:\dir\

any suggestions?

thanks

Dave,

Take a look in the EXAMPLE subdirectory under the PB35 directory. In it, there is a file named DOSUNIT.BAS, and this file contains the code to a CopyFile function that should do just what you need.

(There are other commercial options, including one or two from my company, but you should already have this one on your hard disk, and it's paid for.)

Alan
