Subject  :  lite version??
Size(KB) :  1


OK, I'm not looking for flames here, but I have a complaint. Xxcopy 
is too big! Let me explain...

I have a fairly complete boot floppy that my collegues and I to use 
when dealing with clients computers when windows is screwed up. I 
really like XXCOPY, but it's much bigger than MS's XCOPY, and the boot 
disk has less than 10k to spare. Now, I understand that XXCOPY has 
far more capability, but I would be willing to trade a some portion of 
"extra" functionality for an .exe file that is the same size or 
smaller than MS's XCOPY.

How possible would it be to have a 16-bit "XXCOPYLT" (xxcopy lite)? 
If that is just not going to happen, does anybody have any 
alternatives for a XCOPY-like program that uses the same basic 
switches as MS?

Thanks.

PS - in case anyone is wondering, this (single) boot floppy can:

sys
xcopy
fdisk
format
scandisk
deltree
edit
attrib
grep
sed
extract from .CABs
access most IDE CD-ROM drives
read files on NTFS partitions
access parallel and IDE Zip drives
list and copy with and by LFNs
recognize and remove non-DOS partitions
edit previous and current CLs
use (short) file name completion

And most imporantly...
Log into an NT domain (IF the NIC has DOS drivers)
I keep FTP, Telnet, Antivirus, and other tools on the server.
