I want to announce the release of Scopy 0.3 (beta).

Version 0.3 hanles some special cases pointed by Eli.
I will bee grateful if somebody can check SCOPY on w98.

SCOPY is a copy utility who takes care of short file names too on W9x.
His main purpose is to serve to migrate your hard disk (using W9x) to a
new big one using this simple procedure:

1- Install the new drive like slave.
2- Partition and fomat it.
3- copy all the files to the new drive.
4- put the new drive like master
5- boot with floppy and do fdisk /mbr
6- It must work!

But there are a problem, if you use xcopy or explorer on step 3 some
short file names arn't the same, and some programs don't work.

Using "scopy c:\ d:\" (in W9x) all must work, because SCOPY takes care
of long file names and short file names while copying.

I put the sources under the GPL license.

You can get te sources at
