No, I would put your efforts into a program that people will actually
use.  There is no need for a graphical, more cumbersome replacement
for the DOS "copy" command.  You seemed to have filled a need that
doesn't exist.

Or, make your program an *actual* template program by allowing the
templates to have user-replaceable fields in them, similar to how mail-
merge functionality works in word processors.  That is functionality
not easily duplicated at the DOS command-line.  While there still
isn't much of a need for that, at least it will be something that
there is no easy equivalent for in the DOS world for people who don't
own word processors.
