║ DISK COPY FAST v5.1 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> DMF formatting is improved to be almost identical to the
MicroSoft format. This includes sector shift and sequencing
and format gap length.
-> While reading/writing disks, unregistered users will get
some hints while registered users will see the content of
the disk.

error happens and user chooses to retry, DCF will format
the track before second attempt to write the track.
-> DCF will wait longer before reporting "Drive not ready".
-> Users must define all or none of the floppy drives in
CONFIG.DCF. Usually auto-detection works fine, but in
cases it doesn't, users need to define ALL floppy drives
in CONFIG.DCF.
-> Separate copy counts for source, target and compare disks.
-> DCFHELP.EXE can be placed in the same directory as DCF.EXE.
