What is new in DCP v4.1?
Compared with version 2.1 (version 3.0 was only available
in an internal version) the following things have been
changed/integrated/added:
a) Formating
DCP v4.0 does automatically format previously
unformatted disks. With a special switch (-F)
DCP can be forced to format even formatted
diskettes.
b) Compressing data
In order to reduce the amount of disk space
needed for storing DCP-created image-file the
switch -D is now available. If this switch is
specified, all data will be compressed. All
uncompression is done automatically.
c) Better error messages
Earlier versions of DCP returned hexadecimal
error-codes whenever a disk problem was
encountered. Now, complete error messages are
returned instead.
d) 286/386 versions
There are two versions of DCP available, one
compiled for 286-cpus and one for 386-cpus.
e) Disk Copying
The disk copy mode was changed changed for
the user's ease.
f) F-switch
The switch "-F" is now used to force DCP
to format diskettes. For explicitely speci-
fying disk formats you have to use "-S"
instead.
