System and method for reproducing files of software information
First Claim
1. A system for reproducing files of software information comprising:
- an initialization file identifying the files of software information;
a copying program defined by the initialization file, the copying program operable to present the files of software information identified by the initialization file to a user of the system when the copying program is run;
a processor operable to access the initialization file and the copying program, the processor further operable to run the copying program so that the user of the system may select for copying at least one file of software information presented by the copying program; and
a copying device connected to the processor and operable to copy any file of software information selected by the user onto a software storage medium.

Abstract
A system (10) is provided for reproducing files (24) of software information. The system (10) includes an initialization file (20) identifying the files (24) of software information. A copying program (22) is defined by the initialization file (20). The copying program (22) is operable to present the files (24) of software information identified by the initialization file (20) to a user of the system (10) when the copying program (22) is run. A processor (12) is operable to access the initialization file (20) and the copying program (22). The processor (12) is further operable to run the copying program (22) so that the user of the system (10) may select for copying at least one file (24) of software information presented by the copying program (22). A copying device (18), connected to the processor (12), is operable to copy any file (24) of software information selected by the user onto a software storage medium (26).

8. A system for reproducing files of software information comprising:
-
an interface device operable to allow a user to interface with the system; an initialization file stored on a memory, the initialization file operable to identify files of software information that can be reproduced, the initialization file further operable to be updated by the user; a copying program defined by the initialization file and stored on the memory, the copying program operable to present on the interface device the files of software information identified by the initialization file to the user when the copying program is run; a processor connected to the interface device and the memory, the processor operable to run the copying program so that the user may select for copying a file of software information presented by the copying program; and a copying device connected to the processor and operable to copy the file selected by the user onto a software storage medium. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for reproducing files of software information used by a computer system comprising the steps of:
-
generating an initialization file which identifies a plurality of files of software information that can be reproduced; accessing the initialization file to determine what files of software information can be reproduced; defining a copying program in response to accessing the initialization file, said copying program for reproducing the files of software information; running the copying program on a processor so that the files of software information that can be reproduced are displayed to a user of the computer system; prompting the user to select at least one of the files of software information displayed; and reproducing the file of software information selected by the user onto a software storage medium. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
