Howdy all *nix users,

Is there a diskcopy function available on a *nix system??
Yes, I do still use the old ones I have saved stuff on!

I was in for one of the great surprises yesterday.

One of my 3.5" diskettes showed signs of getting tired, so I decided to
make a diskcopy to get the contents on a fresh media.

To my great surprise there was no such a function included in Win 10!

To make a copy of that diskette....

I had to close down Windows and re-start the machine with a pure (PC)DOS
diskette, to do the simple operation of creating a copy of that old one,
while it was still readable


Regards,

Holger
