Diskcopy used to work on the old uPort release, but not on the later ones.  I
haven't tried that under xenix because it is so easy the copy media routines
in the system.

Just fire up the sysadm shell, go to media, go to duplicate.     

It reads the disk into a file, you don't have to do it, and it lets you make
as many as you want before reloading the next source.
