Since I'm not familiar with the use and capabilities of msdos diskcopy,
I don't know the answer to the following two questions, so I'll toss
them out for consideration:
1/ Does msdos diskcopy know what to do with a mountable diskettes,
as opposed to tar diskettes? The N1 (I suspect, I haven't
checked all my distribution diskettes) is the only one with
a mountable filesystem.
2/ Just how smart is msdos diskcopy? Can it copy device files?
(I don't have a msdos manual handy, or I'd scrutinize it for
the answer to that one. :-) )
