Kwikcopy-
An executable program (written in C) that will make diskcopies
without having to reboot or reload the program while one is making
multiple copies.
The default settings are: Source = df0: Destination = df1:
Unfortunately, these do not seem to be changeable.
The program should be run from CLI by typing <Kwikcopy>. DO NOT TYPE RUN
<Kwickcopy>! You will get an endless loop with no chance to swap disks
between diskcopies!
One very interesting feature of this program is it's ability to copy disks
that have developed read errors. Unlike Diskcopy, it will NOT crash but will
report the exact location of the error and the error number, and then
continue on to the next block. It will NOT, however, copy the errors to the
destination disk.
When you have finished using the program, the only way to break out of the
program seems to be to warm boot. DO NOT just remove the disks and hit
return. It will attempt to make copies without any disks present and the
noises your drives will make will scare you to death!
This program was downloaded from Delphi and to the best of my knowledge,
is in the public domain.
Please feel free to make changes in the doc file as you discover
inaccuracies and discover new features that I have missed. This is merely a
cursory look at the program to get one started.
Enjoy!
