# Command: diskcopy

      DISKCOPY copies the contents of a floppy disk to a second floppy.
      Also creates, copies and restores floppy disk image files.
      The images can be used by SHSUFDRV.

## Comments:

      A minus sign after an option disables the option.
      If the source and/or destination is a drive, for example
      "a:" then it is treated as a floppy disk, otherwise it is
      treated as an image file.
      The source and destination can be the same drive; DISKCOPY will
      first copy from the source, and then prompt you to swap floppy
      disks. Then it will write to the destination.
      DISKCOPY uses the Linux rawrite format for its image files.
      Therefore the image files from DISKCOPY can be used by
      Rawrite and vice versa.
      DISKCOPY cannot read from or overwrite Linux floppy disks.
      It can, however, write a Linux floppy image to a DOS disk.
      DISKCOPY supports NLS (national language support).
