History of QUIKCOPY
- v1.00 Private release.
Uses conventional, EMS and XMS memory. Can only copy one file per
pass. Quick with large files.
- v1.01 Private release.
Corrected error with multiplication for XMS memory.
- v2.00 Public release.
First official public release.
Maximal usage of available memory. Multiple files copied per pass.
Ability to copy subdirectories. Ability to move files.
- v2.10 Public release.
Added more information to the documentation. QUIKCOPY now has more
support for write-protected media (CD-Rom, etc.).
- v2.20 Public release.
Corrected error with XMS memory when running under MS-Windows in
386 Enhanced mode and under DESQview/X. (Note, running Real or
Standard mode MS-Windows did not cause the error.) This error
occurred due to the two operating systems providing XMS as both
real and/or virtual memory, and reporting this memory as available
XMS memory, when it wasn't!

more files over themselves.
QUIKCOPY is now more MS-Windows and DESQview "friendly".
