Of the top of my head.

You can "find" all the filenames using the FindFirst and then FindNext
functions.
For each filename you copy it using blockread and blockwrite.
Remember FindClose at the end.

There might be a SH... function you can call, but I do not remember.

The function is called SHFileOperation (see Win32.hlp) and it is definitely
easier than what you are describing.

Re:copying files from a diroctory


maybe you should read the dc help, search for CopyFile
