"COPY" This gadget starts the copy.
It can show 3 lines:
COPY will start a disk-to-disk copy AND copies the data
in RAM.
If you have a memory-expansion:
READ reads the complete source-disk in RAM without
crunching.
WRITE writes the data in RAM to the destination-disks.
Here are some times:
Src Dst Verify
1 1 2 3 4 Off On

* * 1:09 1:45
* * * 1:09 2:23

MODE: This gadget selects the copy-type:
USED will copy used tracks, and formats empty tracks.
When the copy starts, RattleCopy will search for a RattleMap.
This is an alternative BitMap that RattleCopy saves in the
gap of track 0 after a RattleCopy.
When it has found the map, it copies the used tracks.
When it didn't find the map, it scannes the disk and copies
the used tracks.
Not-used tracks are recognized when they are filled with
zero's, "DOS", "[X]COPY", or other kinds of fill-up data.
BAM copies the tracks allocated in the BitMap and
formats the other tracks.
If the source-disk is not a DOS disk, RattleCopy jumps automaticly
to "USED".
RANGE will copy all tracks from start-position till
end-position.
VERIFY This selects if the copied tracks will be verified.
FORMAT This gadget selects the format-type:
OFF will skip the tracks.
FAST formats without verify.
VERIFY formats with verify.
The tracks will be filled with zeros.
"TIME" This is the clock, it shows the time that you're using
RattleCopy and how long a copy takes. (Switch between times
by clicking it.)
"MESSAGE" This is the information-gadget, errors or other important
things will be reported here.
"START" This is the start track and head for the copy.
"END" This is the end track and head for the copy.
"POS" This is the track and head position under the pointer.
ALL This sets the standard range.
An AmigaDOS copy skips track 80-85.
SRC: This is the source-drive, a source-disk will be recognized
if the write-protection is on.
DST: These are the destination-drives, a destination-disk will be
recognized when the write-protection is off.
"TRACKMAP" Here you can set the range: Place the pointer on the
wanted start-track, press left-button AND hold it down, place
the pointer on the wanted end-track and free the left-button.
