This command is similar to COPY except that it copies a file from a QL
Format disk to an Atari Format disk. No conversion takes place.

**NOTE**

You will need to pass the Atari filename in quote marks if it includes a
three letter extension preceded by a dot eg:

ACOPY flp1\_PROGRAM\_BAS, "flp2\_PROGRAM.BAS"

**CROSS-REFERENCE**

:ref:`qcopy` copies a file from an Atari disk to a
QL disk.

See :ref:`aformat` and
