2468.0. "CLI questions ....." by NZOV01::MCKENZIE (Support your right to arm bears) Tue Apr 11 1989 17:31

    Hi again folk - well I'd better make the best of this chance
    while the link is up....damn them Sydney routers...
    
    Ok - I have a couple of CLI based questions.....
    
    I have been fiddling with ICONed and tarting up my existing
    icons. Whenever I alter the disk Icon however, the disk I am
    working on suddenly becomes non-bootable and I have to INSTALL
    it again. Why is this???
    
    Last time I INSTALLED this disk it crapped out and the diskdoctor
    showed the disk had a hard error. Diskdoctor told me to copy all
    req files on the troubled disk to another disk and re-format the
    original. My question is: what is the equivilent command on the
    Amiga to COPY DUA0:[...]*.* dua1:[...]*.*
    
    I tried COPY DF0:#? TO DF1: but it only copied the top-level stuff
    not all files in directorys below.

    COPY DF0: TO DF1: ALL <QUIET>
    
    Bracketed argument is optional.  If omitted, ADos will inform you of
    each and every file copied.
    
    By the way, this command is a good way to clean up a badly fragmented
    disk.  AmigaDOS will try to intelligently place all .info files so that
    directories will come up faster.
