The 'cp' copy command that comes with c68 can copy everything

Why did you sue it? Did it go disastrously wrong or something?

If you use WinBack to create a backup, there was a (useful) utility
which took a snapshot of the directory structure, built a new SuperBasic
file (called Make_directory_bas I think) and you would run this first
against a new disk prior to a restore.
It made life easier as the restore would put
A very good solution. I wonder if this new device could work on a
directory path with shortened directory names to maintain more backward
computability. For example if one was at root (win1_) and created a new
directory called 'ThisisaVeryLongDirectoryName' then the new system

That was what I had in mind when I suggested that we also change the

Good day, Norman,
well, I was a bit annoyed, because I have sent Tony the sources (just to
open his ideas), explained, why it should be better to use a different
system esp. for WIN files, but there was no comment. Perheps he has finished

Evening Ralf,
In the meantime, we are not QL-compatible in some cases, there are
programs, which just run under WMAN2, and that is ok. So why can't we
have real subdirectories for the harddisk side? A QXL file isn't
interchangable.
To be honest, I can't find a reason myself why we are still
