  UPCOPY is an intelligent copy system - it copies files both ways as
  necessary to make directories identical. It picks out new files, and
  updated files, and chooses the right copy direction. UPCOPY can also
  erase files, ask questions, show file information, and show file
  comparisons. Afterwards you're told if the directories are the same.

  For more information view UPCOPY.DOC. For context sensitive help
  press the F1 key.

(dr1)

  Enter the first disk specifier - 
  a disk letter with ':'

(dir1)

  Enter the first directory specifier - names separated by '\'.
  An initial '\' means the root directory, otherwise the current
  directory is understood. You can also use '..' to specify
  its parent. Wildcards are not allowed in directory names.

(dr2)

  Enter the second disk specifier - 
  a disk letter with ':'

(dir2)

  Enter the second directory specifier - names separated by '\'.
  An initial '\' means the root directory, otherwise the current
  directory is understood. You can also use '..' to specify
  its parent. Wildcards are not allowed in directory names.

(files)

  Enter the files you want to copy, root and extension
  separated by '.', are allowed as is the wildcard '*'
  and the wild letter '?'.  UPCOPY does not rename files
  so this one specifier is common to both directories. 

(B)

  Batch or command mode. Simple old-fashioned non-windowed
  output to the screen. This is the default with file
  parameters. Specify /W to force windowed mode.

(C)

  Only processes common files, those found in both the
  directories. New files, those found in only one directory,
  are not copied or erased. Directory information still shows
  for new files unless the /Q option is set. 

(D)

  Asks you if you'd like a difference listing of
  files which are different in the two directories.
  The differencing happens automatically if /Y is set.

(E)

  New files can be erased.  If you say no to a copy
  question you will be asked if you'd like to erase
  the file instead.  With /F you will just be asked
  if you want to erase new files in path2.  /F/Y/E
  will erase new files in path2 automatically. 

(F)

  Standard forward copy only. Only copies from path1
  (source) to path2 (target). With /E this can erase files
  in path2 with /E. Files in path1 are never altered. 

(I)

  This gives a directory comparison without copying. Use
  /C if you want to see how the file contents are different.
  The /S/I combination is always available and checks entire
  structures. 

(N)

  This processes only new files, those found in just one 
  directory, and ignores coomon files, those found in both.

(O)
  
  Old over new. This will also ask if you'd like to
  overwrite a newer version with an older one. This
  becomes automatic when you specify /F/Y/O.

(Q)

  Quick and quiet mode. This option stops most directory
  information. It also stops the comparison after the main
  run that double checks the directories for outstanding
  differences caused by you answering 'no' to copy questions. 

(R)

  UPCOPY normally skips over read-only files. If you set this
  option read-only files can be updated and copied. Check the
  documentation for more information on read-only files. 

(S)

  Processes subdirectories too. All the sub-directories of
  both path1 and path2 are scanned and new directories, those
  in one path only, can be created. You specify the root '\'
  directory to process entire disks. /I (directory information
  only) is set as well if you set this in the shareware version.

(W)

  Always run in this windowed mode. Overrides the
  default /B batch mode for UPCOPY  with parameters.

(Y)

  Automatic mode with no prompt questions. The answer is
  automatically 'yes' to all questions. You can switch to
  this mode part way through a run by typing '!' to a question.

(no /s)

  /I/S has been set so you can try out /S.
  /I/S compares directory trees without copying.

(/B forced)

  /D requires /B which has been set as well.

(F10)
  
  This will perform an UPCOPY run using the
  directories specified, and any options set.

(F9)
  
  View the documentation UPCOPY.DOC.

(Esc)
  
  Leave UPCOPY closing windows and mouse.

(error)

  Press the ESCAPE key or click to close the error window.

(buttwd)

  Scroll the information shown with the mouse on the
  scrollbar, or use  Page Up Page Down Home End.
  -> <- change the button highlighted. ESC returns
  you to the menu. ! (if shown) switches to auto mode
  with no more prompts.
