That's interesting, Kris. Perhaps IBM PCOMM development could be persuaded to support
ALMCOPY under Windows XP/Vista/etc.

*This version of ALMCOPY should behave the same as ALMCOPY for OS/2 -- it*

But, it does preserve timestamps... I used ALMCOPY (under OS/2) a lot at my
customer's installation until begin July.

Slightly off topic,.....
At one time, IBM offered a utility called ACPM with the OS/2 version of
PCOMM. This utility was a very nice Presentation Manager (PM) interface to
the ALMCOPY file upload/download program. ALMCOPY had a ton of very useful
features, and was *fast*; it was developed at the IBM Almaden Labs, hence
the name ALMCOPY. It woulkd be nice if IBM could come up with a Windows
version......

I am looking for an easy way to download a number of CMS execs from my
A-disk to my PC. IND$FILE works OK for 1-at-a-time downloads but I am
trying to find a shortcut to be able to set up a list of exec names and
download them all at once. I would greatly appreciate any
recommendations.
