if [ "$1"="" ]
then
echo Usage: $0 /dev/[floppy drive]
else
echo "Insert sorce diskette in $1, then press ENTER..."
read kb
dd if=$1 of=/tmp/dd.$$ bs=18432 # copy to temp file
echo "Insert destination diskette in $1, then press ENTER..."
read kb
dd if=/tmp/dd.$$ of=$1 bs=18432 # copy the tmp file to
