NOTE: THE COPYING IS VERY SLOW (ABOUT 8.5 MINUTES FOR A DUAL
DENSITY FLOPPY, BUT THE RESULT IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF
THE INPUT FLOPPY. I HAVE TRIED USING LOGICAL I/O BUT
THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. TRYING TO READ A TRACK AT A
TIME RESULTS IN A SLOWER STILL TRANSFER. THE AUTHOR
WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING FROM ANYONE WHO GETS THE COPYING
TIME DOWN.
