Subject: [Ql-Users] Hard directories
Is there any automated way to copy files *and* hard directories
without manually using MAKE_DIR?
Presumably WCOPY will only copy the files and not the directories.
Can MAKE_DIR be used after copying?
I am restoring my BBS from backup.
Tony
I'm assuming that the backups are not compressed or packed together
into an archive of some form...that is, they are a straight copy of
the original BBS files as they were on your hard disk.
If so, try my The Copier program. If the backups are in the same
sub-directory names as they came from, it might be able to do what you
want. If it doesn't quite do what you want I can send you the sources
to tweak it for yourself if you want (although I T-H-I-N-K the source
BASIC is already in there).

On the same page, there's an Adrian Ives package (called dirtools???)
which might also be of help.
I also have a simple program I think was published in QL Today for
doing this in a very basic way, which might be eaier to rewrite. Let
me know if you'd liek a copy of that too, I don't think it's on my
website unless it's in one the ARTICLES pages, or possibly in the HD
Utils package on the same page as the Copier.
