1.1 You should read this before using DeluxeCopy
------------------------------------------------
This piece of Sofware and the Documentation are placed to you.
It is not possible to give a guarantee on this Product !
If you use it, you use it at your own risk!
The Author is not responsible for any damges on your Soft- or Hardware
which are caused by this Product.
1.2 Hardware requirements
-------------------------
DeluxeCopy should do it's work on any Amiga with min. OS2.04 (37.175).
2 diskdrives are necessary to copy with it.
1.3 Why you should use DeluxeCopy
---------------------------------
Because there are a lot of Copy Programs around, this point is mainly
important.
First i must say, that DeluxeCopy isn't the fastest and don't want to
be the fastest. DeluxeCopy works together with the trackdisk.device to
safe future compatibility. Other Programs of this kind are using rou-
tines which take the Hardware directly to improve the speed. This
method isn't so future compatibel you know. Is there any Program around
which is be able to copy 1760 KB Amiga HD disks ?
Deluxecopy don't lock all diskdrives at start time. It lock the drives
when the user want to do this.
DeluxeCopy is FontAdaptive for those people using a high-resolution
graphic adapter.
The Program can be used by mouse or by keybourd.
It is impossible to copy disks which aren't 100% ok.
It is senseless to copy such disks. Because of this there is no Skip
function, ok.
NOTE: "Copying without verify is like Surfing without a Surfboard !"
1.4 Function overview

You can start the Copy here !
- Abort
With this function you can break the Copy or the AutoMode.
- Retry

- Leave Drive
If you are making several copys at the same time, and an error
appears at one Destination drive, with this function you can
leave the drive. The copy will then continued with the other
drives.
- AutoMode
With this function you can make one copy after the other.
You must only change the disks when the copy is finished, and
the next copy will start automaticaly.
