While we're on the subject of utilities, here is BAC.COM, which i use all the
time, for example for transferring files from a desktop to a laptop. It works
like COPY.COM except that it only copies newer or changed files.

Here's a batchfile I use to copy files to a stiffy to transfer to my laptop:

@echo off
cls
echo Copying Family Origins files from Steve's computer
c:
cd \forigin
del *.lst
del *.ged
del *.tmp
cd \archives
pkzip -d forigin *.lst
pkzip -d forigin *.tmp
pkzip -d forigin *.ged
pkzip -u forigin c:\forigin\*.*
bac forigin.zip a:
dir a:
pause


Keep well,
