It was originally based on BAK25KP, but has been almost completely re-written. It is not hardware specific (except for the clear screen sequence, but that is easily patched without reassembly) and is set up to copy files in disk/user/alphabetical order and so works nicely on ZCPR/ZCPR2/ZCPR3 systems, but will work on a normal CP/M 2.2 system as well. Not sure it will work under 3.0 as it chases the DPH/DPB blocks to determine disk capacity/blocking size/etc. May not work under CP/M v1.4 either, but should work fine on all CP/M v2.2 systems.
