xcopy came later, like MS-DOS 3.x or so. You can use copy for multiple files;
it's just slower because it reads each file individually.
I've used the copy command in MS DOS on 86box recently. Just to verify though I
installed FreeDOS 1.2 on VirtualBox and I was able to copy fdos\bin\*.* to

I wanted to know which specific example file you had a problem with.
How about actually answering the question?

You can download TCL869 and play with it yourself.
Its dos but seems to need windows in the background.
I wantn't to see what a radiobutton looked like.
I believe the examples were professionally written

I'll have to try this on msdos 6.22 and pcdos 7.1. I'm sure I
used this command to transfer files from floppies to a
harddrive directory. a:\*.* c:\new\*.*. It shouldn't make
any difference if A: is changed to c:

Copy only accepts one destination file and treats all other filenames on the

I'm running FREEDOS 1.2 on a 32 gig cf chip which works
just like an IDE harddrive. Only about 2 gigs of the chip is

They give you TCL example files to run. One interesting
file was about 1.5 meg. When I ran it, it would always
ask for msg 1.6 (whatever that is) so I tried to edit the
file to remove the part that made the error. The Freedos
