This only works for PRG type files, and not SEQ, REL and USR type files. 
 
PRG = Programs. 
REL = RELative (aka random access) data files -- often used for databases. 
SEQ = SEQuential files.  Often PETSCII based text files used for configuration
data, etc. 
USR = USeR type files.  USe varies depending on application. 
 
However, to copy files between disks, I would use a file copy program that is
usually available on one of the test/demo disks that come with the 1541, 1571
and 1581 drives. 
 
 
 
...If at first you don't succeed, put it out for beta test.
