<p>The reason for using <code>TYPE</code> instead of just ordinary <code>COPY</code>,
by the way, is that the file has the hidden attribute. The <code>COPY</code>
built-in to Microsoft's CMD won't copy such files. If you are using a
different command interpreter, this is not an issue and you can use <code>COPY</code>.
With 4NT and Take Command, for example, simply use the <code>/H</code>
option to <code>COPY</code> to tell it to include hidden and system
files, thus: <code>copy /h E:\boot.ini F:\</code></p>
