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.                            ...If at first you don't succeed, put it out for beta test.       ---BapStats Module (bsDBASE v6.1 Build 1)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
