Alternative to 64Copy

Some days ago i've got my new pc installed with 64Bit Win7, now ofcourse the old DOS-tool 64Copy isn't working anymore. What other tool can you recommend which has got nearly the same functions as 64copy but is working on win7? especially showing crosslinked files on d64's was a nice feature.

how about running 64copy as an XP app ?

imo there is no tool that can do the same.

I'm also using Dosbox to make use of 64copy on Win7/64bit. The disadvantage of using Dosbox is that it doesn't support long filenames and when running 64copy inside Dosbox the C drive is virtual which means you have to copy the files first in a directory structure that is below the structure of where 64copy is located. When you change files outside 64copy while running 64copy, you have to restart 64copy to see the changes or you have to create a fake directory in 64copy to refresh the file structure.

You should install long filename drivers in dosbox.

There are some recent patches to dosbox that add LFN support: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=40610

Thank god I stumbled upon this thread!
I have exactly the same problem, but with StarCommander which I use for all the D64 operations, including preparing releases for csdb. And I was forced to move to 64-bit Win7 few days ago.

I am currently using the SC inside an XP Mode Virtual Machine, which as you can imagine is heavy as hell... If this will work in DosBox with LFN then my life will be saved.

On to the testing!!! ;)

Doesn't work 100% :(
In directories with a lot of .d64 files, not all files are visible. The last one visible also appears as directory that cannot be opened :(
Or maybe my cofniguration needs changing...
