I am running Windows 3 on a 386 with 6 MB of memory. When I select the diskcopy option from the file manager, it sometimes takes more than one pass to copy a 720K diskette. It seems that without much else running it should be able to copy not only 720K diskettes in one pass, but even 1.44M diskettes. Is there some reason for this?? Is there some public domain diskcopy program that will utilize more available memory during diskcopies?? Thanks in advance... Ren Maddox (lhmaddox@cs.utexas.edu)
