Hi folks,
I have aquired and set up two removable drives with which I intend backing
up the two hard drives in my pure dos machine.
I was planning to use xcopy for this, but before I start am wondering if
there is anything else?
Again although I am not using freedos, my computer only has dos,

No because Unicode, esp. for CJK languages, would never fit into 256

Hi,
I did just join the xxcopy yahoo group, so I can learn if that has any
advantages to using xcopy.
To be more specific, this time around, I am doing a full backup of both my
hard drives. The desire is everything this time around, full directory
structure in tact, hidden files and system

I downloaded a Japanese MS-DOS bootdisk (I'm not giving out any links

It seems that there is just one special API function for double byte

Okay, but I'm not sure they support the DOS version anymore. Their

John,
I've been using SuSE/openSUSE for over a decade without ever having seen a
boot menu that uses function keys for selection. This suggests you've been
using some boot loader other than one from openSUSE, one which was probably
installed either in the MBR or in the partition the floppy
