I know about diskcopy which can be used to copy an entire disk using a single drive but is there a way to copy just one file from disk A to disk B when you have only one floppy drive (no hard drive either)?
using MS Dos 6.22 or lower?

Copy a:/somefile b:
You will be prompted to change the floppy in the drive, the same as what happens with diskcopy.

oh that's right, if you only have an A: drive and you refer to B: then it makes B: access A: but after prompting you. I forgot that, thanks!
