I did that primarily to make it easier for people using a single
drive. Try copying a full disk when having to swap disks after
every file!

There are oddities with L2FS and L3FS, one of them being the
absence of "*DIR ^". I've not used L2FS since about 1990 and only
ever used L3FS to test the Y2K fix ten years ago and IDE drive
support about a year ago. I think I may have to set up L3FS on one
of my systems to see what it does in more detail.
 
I've been carefully rewriting TreeCopy as there's a couple of other
minor bugs in it, and a couple of extensions I want to add.
 
Initially, I'm just carefully prising it apart into seperate
modules so that I can then modify it. It's one of the few programs
I have left that was never written with code libraries and has just
had more and more things glued into the same initial bit of code.

There is a bug in "Skip" where it can sometimes end looping to
asking to skip again.
