   RCOPY was written to speed the  transfer of files to a  RAM disk on boot-up
and at the same time make  a huge reduction in the  size of the STARTUP alias.
RCOPY copies a list of files between two directories.  The source and destina-
tion directories and the list of files are  internally  configured.   It  also
might be useful in other situations, such as copying all of WordStar's overlay
files to a RAM disk before doing word processing.   Under ZDDOS and ZSDOS file
date stamps are preserved.  ZCPR3 is required.

 Syntax   RCOPY {{/}option}

   An option is the  only  command  line  parameter  allowed.   The source and
destination directories and the  names of the  files to  be  copied  are  held
internally in a configuration block.   RCOPY *MUST* be configured before it is
used.   If  a file is not found,  or if  a filename in the  file list contains
wildcard characters,  those files will be  skipped,  but copying will continue
with the next filename.  Other errors will abort the program.

 Option 

     Q    Toggles quiet mode.  Whether RCOPY defaults to Quiet
          mode is determined by the ZCPR3 quiet flag or by a
          configuration byte (see below).  The Q option toggles
          RCOPY to the non-default mode.

 Configuration 

   RCOPY should be configured using ZCNFG and the accompanying CFG file.  Even
if you change the name of  RCOPY,  ZCNFG will  always be  able to find the CFG 
file as long as it is named RCOPYnn.CFG, where nn is the RCOPY version.

   Up to 20 files can be included in the internal file list.  (This limitation
is set by ZCNFG;  an unlimited number of files can be copied if they are added
in the source code and RCOPY re-assembled.)  All files must reside in the same
directory,  and all  will  be copied to  another common directory.   Ambiguous
filenames,  if included in the  file  list,  will be  skipped by RCOPY,  but a
warning message will be displayed.   Blank  filenames in the file list will be
ignored.

   ZCNFG must also be used to tell RCOPY in what  drive/user to find the files 
in the file list, and to what directory the files will be copied.  

   Lastly,  an internal quiet  flag  can be configured to put RCOPY into quiet
mode by default.

 RCOPY Notes 

   a. Vs 1.1 updates (09/22/90, Gene Pizzetta):
      - modified quiet mode display to print dots on  screen so  you know it's
        doing something.
