Windows XP
filePro 5.0.09DN9

Would like to execute fpcopy from a batch file.
Are there flags for use with fpcopy?
Would like to take care of the naming, formats
to copy, etc. so the user does not make the decision.

If there are flags where might I find a list of them?

It has no command line arguments.
It can be automated be feeding it keystrokes as long as you are careful 
about things that change it's behaviour like setting PFME on or off.

I wrote this a zillion years ago. 5 or 6 really but that's 50 in dog years 
and a zillion in computer years. There are things I'd change now but it does 
work so there is little incentive.

This has interactive prompts, but you can easily doctor the script to 
replace the "read" commands which takes values from the user, and replace 
them with $1 $2 $3 etc..  to get values from the command line instead, and 
not have to touch the hairy parts that come later. Just replace or edit the 
"gather info" section and leave all the rest alone.
