[Coco] dsave problem, or is it dircopy??

Roy, anybody else with late nitros experience;

I've found the WP_RS stuff ok, but somethings not right in that I'm
having one hell of a time trying to copy it to a floppy.

Ever since the seagate drive was installed, dircopy has refused to
acknowledge any options, so while I can get the stuff to a floppy,
the file dates etc are not preserved.  Because there are many copies
of some of it, the file dates I consider important because its the
only way I can, after 9 years, see which file of the many is the
newest.

dsave I didn't like way back then, so it was never installed in the
cmds dir on my old drive.  I presume its in /dd/cmds, but the syntax to 
run it has
been changed and for the life of me, I cannot remember the new syntax
it requires.  I've been playing 20 monkeys at the typewriter for the
last half an hour now.

Can someone toss me a bone here?  Tell me how to run the new dsave &
maybe I can get this to work.  Or better yet, tell me why dircopy
isn't working with its usual trsu option syntax.
