Hi, I was wondering if anyone has C code for fast file writing to floppies.
The application that I'm writing compresses the data before writing to disk,
but the bottleneck is the floppy.  I'm currently trying to optimize disk
writing by using a technique similar to XCOPY, but if I had code that
resembled XCOPY already written that might help me meet my deadline.

Please e-mail me any code or answers, TIA
