Hi, Mitch tested RXCOPY with various kernels: > XCOPY EXE 16,442 02-06-03 12:00a XCOPY.EXE > XCOPY TXT 4,082 02-06-03 12:00a XCOPY.TXT
Win9x DOS: > A:\rxcopy>xcopy xcopy.txt b: > [Operation completed with 15 or 16 disk swaps. When run from a DOS window > under Windows 95, the behavior is altered such that I failed in two > attempts to create a copy.] > IBM DOS 5: 12 disk swaps FreeDOS: more than 10 disk swaps, too... > Win 2000: has no DJ mechanism, it seems, nor has it DOS mode So it looks like we really have a bug in RXCOPY here. But where? RXCOPY is supposed to load several 100 kilobytes of source files before starting to write target files, so only ONE disk swap should be needed to copy this 4k file. Any idea what is going wrong here? At least it seems to be no kernel bug but an RXCOPY bug. Eric BCCing Rene - but I have not heard from him since 8/2003, I wonder if he is still working with DOS at all... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
