144. ADFS *COPY syntax ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The *COPY syntax on the ADFS is different from that on the DFS, and is a bit obscure. You must specify the filename to be copied, including the directory and/or drive specification if they are not current, and then the directory and/or drive specification of the destination, (ie just the pathname). For example, suppose I want to copy a file called "Fred" from the current drive (0) and directory to the root directory on the other drive (1). This would be achieved with *COPY Fred :1 If I needed to include full pathnames, and I was copying from a sub-directory "NAMES" on drive 0 to a sub-directory "PEOPLE" on drive 1, then it might look something like *COPY :0.$.NAMES.Fred:1.$.PEOPLE . You can of course include the wildcard characters "#" and "*" in the filename if you are copying a group of files. You cannot change the filename when copying in this way, but you can by using the same syntax with *MOVE, and adding the new filename after the destination pathname. *MOVE also has the advantage that you can add -ADFS-, -DISC- etc at the beginning of the pathnames to copy between filing systems, but it has the disadvantage of being appallingly slow. For copying between filing systems, those of you with the Advanced Disc Toolkit are better off using *XFER instead, as it is far faster.
