TITLE: NCOPY, Ctrl+Break, and DOS Batch File
SUMMARY
When copying files on a server using NCOPY in a DOS batch file,
the user may be unable to interrupt the batch file by pressing
Ctrl+Break or Ctrl+C.
This matter applies to any system using NCOPY in a DOS Operating
System.
NOTES
NCOPY is a program designed by Novell. This program, when used in
a tight-looped batch file, does not offer enough opportunity to
interrupt the batch file, if necessary.
By inserting additional REMARK statements into the batch file (as
described in the DOS User's Manual, the user can create a delay
in the loop, therefore offering a greater oportunity to interrupt
the batch file, if it becomes necessary.
The batch file below is an example of working configuration:
:start
f:\public\ncopy f:\test\*.* y:\test1
rem
rem
rem
rem
goto start
