Hello Dave,

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

DV> Absolutly :) it's called dd

DV> Put your floppy in the drive and sudo dd if=/dev/fd0 of=diskname.img

Thanks for the info. I was really disappointed that it wasn't available
in Win10. The XPpro I have in a laptop, still does have diskcopy.

Dunno about versions between XP and 10, since I haven't had them.

DV> dd is a universal tool.. it will read/write any image format plus
DV> all sorts of other neat and dangerous stuff if you dont know how to
DV> use it :D
