CLONE v1.0 CLONE is a public domain program designed to faithfully copy the entire contents of a directory (on a floppy, hard disk, CDROM, network drive, etc), including hidden and system files, while in the MSDOS real mode. It is essentially the same as Win95's XCOPY command, except that CLONE includes the options that are not available from the real-mode version of XCOPY. Command line options use the Unix-style convention... options are separated by the "-" character, not the "/" character. Options are: -s include subdirectories (including empty directories) -h include hidden and system files -a retain file attributes -m retain file modification times -p prompt to overwrite existing files -q operate quietly When combined with other programs, such as DOSLFNBK, CLONE can be used to copy an entire Win95 drive, including long file names, in the MSDOS real mode. For example, to copy the contents of your Win95 system from drive C: to drive D: and restore the long file names, you'd type the following: doslfnbk c: clone -sham c:\ d:\ doslfnbk d: /r Since CLONE doesn't do "high level" file system caching, its speed can be greatly increased with the use of SMARTDRV. The C source is included and there are no restrictions on its use! The latest version of CLONE is always available via anonymous FTP from moe.hood-dpw.army.mil. Although CLONE was designed to operate in the MSDOS real mode, if compiled as a 32bit application, it will also copy Win95 long file names. Emmet P.
