Subject: Copying between file servers
To cdo the copy you could run SoftMDFS on the RISC OS machine
and then run MultiCopy on a BBC/Master to do the copying.
SoftMDFS stores the fileserver metadata in a hidden file so it
stores all the metadata, and the actual files themselves are
store in the underlying RISC OS filesystem. Running MultiCopy
on a BBC or Master get around the problem of RISC OS NetFS
bombin out, at the expense of double the transfer time as
everything has to go Filestore->BBC->SoftMDFS
You could also Zip onto the SoftMDFS running BBCZip on the
BBC, again with the doubled transfers.
