Rawcopy

Rawcopy is a straightforward DOS utility designed around copying data, with the sort of focused functionality that was common among command-line tools of the period. Rather than attempting to be a complete file manager or graphical desktop, it concentrates on getting information from one place to another. That might sound trivial today, but low-level copying utilities could be extremely useful when dealing with disks, backups, or unusual storage situations. The interface is functional and expects the user to understand the underlying filesystem rather than hiding everything behind friendly buttons. There is something refreshingly honest about that approach. Rawcopy does not pretend that moving data is exciting; it simply gets on with the job. For retro-computing enthusiasts, utilities like this are a reminder that classic DOS software was full of small programs solving very specific problems. They may not have been glamorous, but when you needed one, having it could be worth far more than another fancy application.
