INTRODUCTION
    With Win95copy you can copy files from a MS-DOS formated disk
    to your Amiga, without loosing the long Windows95 filenames.
             

REQUIREMENTS
  - You need at least Kick/WB 3.0. (CrossDOS File System)
  - A valid mfm.device mounted (e.g. PC0:)


INSTALLATION
    There are two files named win95copy0, win95copy1. The number is meant
    for the device you have mounted as MS-DOS Drive.
    (e.g. device 0 for PC0: , 1 for PC1:)
    Just copy the one you need into a directory of your choice.
    ( I suggest C: )
    

USAGE
    Usage is very simple:
    win95copy <win95filename1> [filename2 filename3 ...]  TO <destination>

    example:
    win95copy PC0:LONGFI~1.EXE PC0:LONGFI~2.EXE TO RAM:

    Please use full pathnames and no Volume names (e.g. "RAM DISK")


DOPUS USERS
    Create a new button and add the following "AmigaDOS" command:

     C:Win95copy {F} TO {d}    and select the "rescan destination" option

    The {F} command passes a list of all selected files to win95copy.
    It works fine with DOpus 4 but due to a bug in DOpus 5+ this filelist gets
    truncated which causes that the destination path is wrong and so either the
    files get copied into a wrong directory or to Mr. Guru :-(
    In that case please use the {f} command instead and select "with all files"

    
LIMITATIONS
    - Works only with 3,5" floppy drives (high or double density)
    - Can`t copy whole directories only single files (I`m using it in
      combination with DirectoryOpus4 where this limitation isn`t a problem) 
    - No joker allowed.
    - Only files in the root directory are converted correctly yet.

HISTORY
-------

1.0    First release

1.01   Small bugfix.
       (Files with an extension less than 3 characters were not copied.)

1.03   New Syntax. You now can copy more than one filename at once which results
       in a significant speed imcreasement especially when copying lots of small files.
       Win95copy now indicates which file currently is processed.
       Added a short command description when entering ? as filename.
