About copying files between floppies with only one drive.  I think the
original poster was wanting to copy multiple selected files at a time.  The
problem with copy a:GLOB to b: is that dos makes you swap the disk for every
file.

The only solution that I have found better than copying to the hard disk is
to use a ram disk.
