It should. However COPY will normally stop when it
hits a CTRL/Z. (And
many files have CTRL/Zs in them other than the EOF.) HOWEVER there is a
switch that you can use to make COPY copy the entire file length regardless
of the preense of embedded CTRL/Zs. I don't remember what the switch is
but it should be easy to find out.
The switch is /B
but DOS will NOT ALLOW /B if the source is a device. If you wade through
the ASCII text messages within
COMMAND.COM, you'll find that there is
a specific error message for that!
