4-14 ROM-DOS Internal Commands

/-Y confirms the copy of one file over the existing file of the same name.
This option overrides the setting made by the COPYCMD environment
variable. Set the COPYCMD environment variable with the SET
command. This allows you to set confirmation on or off for the COPY
command. If you always want to be prompted for confirmation when a file
will copy over an existing file, set COPYCMD= /-Y. To automatically
overwrite without confirmation during a copy instruction, set COPYCMD=
/Y. For proper usage, refer to the SET command.

Remarks

When no

filename is specified for the target, the new copy is given the

same name as the source

filename.

When no

drive or path is specified for the source, the current drive and

directory are assumed. When no

drive or path is specified for the target,

the current drive and directory are assumed.

If a drive name only is specified without a

path, the current directory for

that drive is assumed.

Both source and target

filenames may include wildcard characters (*) and

(?) to specify a set of several files.
