DESCRIPTION

The flcopy command copies a diskette (opened as /dev/rfd0) to a file created in
the current directory, named "floppy", then prints the message "Change floppy,
hit return when done."  flcopy then copies the local file back out to the
diskette.

FLAGS

-f filename    Allows you to specify a file other than /dev/rfd0.

-h             Causes flcopy to open a file named "floppy" in the current
               directory and copy it to /dev/rfd0.

-r             Tells flcopy to exit after copying the diskette into the file
               named "floppy" in the current directory.

-tn            Causes only the first n tracks to participate in a copy.

FILES

/dev/rfd0
floppy (in current directory)
