Better yet - you could use the MSDOS utilities that I posted to
comp.binaries.apple2, and I believe were uploaded to ccosun.caltech.edu.
They will be called 'MSDOS Tools' or 'MSDOS Utilities' or something
similar.

It will batch copy files to MSDOS, including PC Transporter hard disk
partition files. Probably the only thing it can't do (I think, I don't
have a PC Transporter) is write to 720K disks in an 800K drive.

Alternatively, I guess you could talk to me direct.  :-)
