C> RAWRITE

And follow the prompts.  All arguments are case-insensitive.

If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
to swap diskettes as required.  Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
reduce the number of disk swaps.

RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break
---------------------------------------------------------------

You should be able to run rawrite just like any other dos program.
You should cd to the directory that contains rawrite.  If you have the cd
and the D: is your first cd drive then 

cd d:dosutils  
rawrite 

or 
rawrite /?        should give you a good idea of what the various 
arguments mean.

good luck
