A long time ago I wrote and posted the program 'FLEXCOPY' that copies
disks as a whole between different physical formats as long as the
logical formats are the same, the destination disk is large enough to
hold the block of sectors from logical sector 0 to the last one IN USE
on the source disk, and as long as both devices are accessible via
Rwabs() calls.  In practice this allows copying, as one big block,
SS disks to DS and vice-versa, floppy to RAMdisk and vice-versa, and
also copying to/from FAST or Twisted disks.  I use it all the time.

If you need it email me.  If enough requests arrive I'll repost it.
(It's a .TOS program, about 5K in size.)
