   ->Does this work for SEC files? I spent about an hour looking up any info I   
   ->could to find  a way to copy just a single SEC from a disk. I couldn't get it   
   ->to work or even really load it.   
      
   This only works for PRG type files, and not SEQ, REL and USR type files.   
      
   PRG = Programs.   
   REL = RELative (aka random access) data files -- often used for databases.   
   SEQ = SEQuential files.  Often PETSCII based text files used for configuration   
   data, etc.   
   USR = USeR type files.  USe varies depending on application.   
      
   However, to copy files between disks, I would use a file copy program that is   
   usually available on one of the test/demo disks that come with the 1541, 1571   
   and 1581 drives.
