I am fairly new to OS/2 (just installed 1.2 on my homemade
PC clone last Sunday) and I have a question about
copying a floppy disk from drive a: to drive a:. Instead
of just storing up all of the contents in ram (I have
4meg) the copy command takes about 256k at a time and
keeps asking me to swap disks. I am sure that an equivalent
to the Norton Utilities will eventually be available for 
OS/2 and the HPFS file system but for now I am wondering
if there is a better way to copy floppy disks.

Thanks in advance for any info on this:

P.S. Anyone know of any good public domain communications
for OS/2 ?
