CPYDSK 1.1
WHAT'S NEW
NEW FEATURES:
1. Added a /relax switch. CPYDSK, by default, only allows a
hard disk to be used to store data from a Source diskette
when memory has been exhausted. With the /relax switch ,
CPYDSK will allow any disk type, not just a hard disk, to be
used for temporary Source data storage. This includes other
floppies that are not either the Source or Target and
ramdisks that look like floppies.
Example:
CPYDSK A: F: /RELAX
Copies from Source diskette in drive A: to Target diskette in
drive A: using disk F: (which may be another floppy, etc.) to
hold Source data if necessary.
**** WARNING ****
Do not use CPYDSK with drive letters that have been
redirected with the DOS commands ASSIGN or SUBST! Careless
use of these commands with CPYDSK can lead to undesired
writing to the Source or Target diskettes.
*****************
2. Added a /mono switch. This switch turns off colors so the
display on composite monitors is more legible.
Example:
CPYDSK /mono
Starts CPYDSK up in black and white.
CORRECTIONS:
1. Version 1.0 did not always correctly check that the Target
drive was not a hard disk. This bug has been fixed.
2. New logic added to insure that the temporary data storage
drive letter cannot be the same as the Source or Target drive
letters. Previously CPYDSK insisted that the temporary data
storage drive be a hard disk, which avoided the problem.
With the addition of the /relax switch, a check was
necessary.
