EquiCopy
5 1/4" <--> 3 1/2" disk copying utility
EquiCopy allows a user with a 1.2 meg floppy drive and a 1.44 meg
floppy drive to copy disks between the two drives as if they were
equivalent. The resultant disk is a copy of the original down to
the sector level; in short, if you are copying a 1.44 meg 3 1/2"
diskette to your 5 1/4" drive, you end up with a 1.44 meg 5 1/4"
diskette.
The syntax of EquiCopy is similar to DISKCOPY -- an origin drive
and destination drive are specified on the command-line. There are
no other parameters.
The program probably requires an AT BIOS in order to operate
properly; however, no checks are performed to ensure that an AT
BIOS is installed on the chance that something else (like an XT
with high-density drives) will also work. Caution is highly
recommended when first testing this software on your system. The
author is not responsible for any damages resulting from the use of
this product.
This product is shareware, it is NOT public domain. Registration
is required for usage of the program beyond a reasonable evaluation
period. You may register by sending $9.95 to the following
address:
Michael Stowe

You will receive your registered copy of the latest version of the
software in about two weeks. Thank you for your support.

Ver 1.20 - updated EQUCOPY to recognize XMS specification 3.0, for DOS 6.0,
QEMM, 386MAX, etc.
Ver 1.10 - added the EQUIFIX utility, which will make EQUICOPY work
reliably on machines whose BIOS has trouble with unusual
formats. Documentation in EQUIFIX.DOC. EQUICOPY will detect
when this utility is loaded.
Ver 1.03 - no programmatic changes; only address has been updated
Ver 1.02 - now uses XMS memory when available
any key other than [Enter] aborts program
Ver 1.01 - repaired a compatibility problem with older BIOS's
improved error handling
