GM>>> I have to presume that the example "DISKCOPY TEST.IMG A:"

GM>>> command that works for you to create the System disk(s)....

ml>> FWIW: i'm unaware of diskcopy being able to read disk image

ml>> RAWRITE and a few others can do this, TTBOMK...

 AS> Then I would suggest that you read the DOSBOOK entry

i don't have anything called DOSBOOK...

 AS> regarding the use of DR-DOS's DISKCOPY command for v7.03.

and i don't use DR-DOS ;)  that they enhanced this command is another
thing... in the normal stream of matters, diskcopy usually doesn't do
this... guess maybe i learned something...

 AS> Alternatively, pick up a copy of the old DR-DOS v6.0 handbook
 AS> of 1991 time and read pages 196-198.

i might also suggest that others specify which diskcopy command they are
talking about to avoid problems and misunderstandings in the future ;)
