- EZ-Copy Lite allows you to read an entire diskette into memory and then
- make as many copies as you want without reading the master diskette
- again. To do this it must retain an image of the master diskette in
- memory. This image can take up to 360K of storage space. That is the
- major reason EZ-Copy Lite requires 640K RAM for operation.
-
- EZ-Copy Lite outperforms DOS's diskcopy both in speed and in safety of
- the operation. EZ-Copy Lite speeds up the access times of your disk
- drive allowing quicker reads and writes. It also verifys the copy by
- checking the CRC written to the diskette during the copy process.
-
- When making a copy, EZ-Copy Lite (unless told otherwise) will check the
- diskette to see if it is already formatted and then proceed either with
- the copy or the format and copy. Just feed it diskettes, you don't need
- to worry about the destination diskette. Nothing could be easier!
-
- System requirements: An IBM PC or totally compatible clone, 640K of RAM,
- and IBM PC DOS version 3.0 or later. EZ-Copy Lite
- should work with any version of MS DOS 3.0 or later
- but has not been tested with all the possible MS DOS
- versions.

- Notes: EZ-Copy Lite (EZCL) is a fast, safe, and easy to use diskette
- duplication program. Pull down menus, context sensitive help,
- on-line manual, and multiple copies per read are supported.
-
- Times may change as we continue to improve EZ-Copy Lite. Please
- note that the faster your computer, the more EZ-Copy Lite out
- performs IBM PC DOS.
-
- EZ-Copy Lite can make mutiple copies per read. Diskcopy can't.
- EZ-Copy Lite far out performs PC DOS Diskcopy for mutiple copies!
- #201#
-
- The machines used for testing:
-
- * IBM PC running an 4.77 MHz 8088 with 1 memory wait state
- ** Zenith Z248 running an 8 MHz 80286 with 1 memory wait state
- *** IBM PC AT running an 10 MHz 80286 with 1 wait state (factory 6 MHz)
-
- The above times are affected by the DOS version, both by its revision and
- its source (IBM, Compaq, etc). Any small change in your hardware may
- throw off the timing of EZ-Copy Lite. Memory resident programs slow down
- EZ-Copy Lite and may drastically (up to 50%) slow the disk operations.
- Even such a small thing as displaying the track number while copying took
- many hours of work to speed up to where it didn't slow down operations.
-
- All tests were run with IBM PC DOS with no memory resident programs. If
- your timing tests show results radically different from the above figures
- please write us with the figures. If you did better we will praise
- EZ-Copy Lite, if you did worse we will try to find something to blame it
- on.
