I wouldn't go so far as to say that you can't do it
without storing it as a temporary file on the hard
drive.... seems to me, it shouldn't be that hard
to do it WITHOUT having to do it, by opening up the
diskette with a pipe to a buffer, having the user
change disks, then writing out the buffer to diskette.
Should actually be relatively simple in C... I'm
surprised no one has done it before.
Hmmm, maybe that would be a good claim for me for Linux
Immortality (tm).... an embarrassingly simple little
C code program to do a disk copy...
Maybe I'll look at that over the weekend (I have off
tomorrow :> )

Nop. Duplicating a diskette using the Linux shell (bash). Seems by the
replies I have that there is not a way of avoiding doing a temporal file
on a hdd, except installing a /dev/fd1...
