╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.3 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> enhanced working under multitaskers such as OS/2 and Windows.
Now DCF can copy in the background.
-> max path length for images files increased to 79.
-> ask for confirmation before overwriting image file.
-> fix a problem when restoring video attribute before exit.
-> fix a problem under Phoenix BIOS.
-> reward for reporting piracy (See DCF43.DOC for details.)
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.2 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Fix a problem when executed under OS/2.
-> Enhance error handling. When backup or producing multiple
targets and a bad disk is encountered, v4.2 allows you to
replace the disk and continue the operation.
-> Reset video mode and color before exit.
-> Several minor changes.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.1 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
There are totally 19 modifications in this version, including
enhancements and minor bugs fixing. Most of them are transparent
to users. There are many possible enhancements on my list, but I
spent most of the time during the past two months working on DCP
and DUP. More enhancement will be done in next version.
-> Fix a bug which happens after a write operation is interrupted.
-> Fix the change line problem. When user DIR disk 1 followed by
reading and writing disk 2 then DIR again, DOS sometimes show
the directory of disk 1 not disk 2, although disk 2 has been
copied flawlessly. This is fixed in this version.
-> Fix the "long" delay problem. When DCF v4.0 encountered error
during a read or write operation and users choose to SKIP or
Retry, sometimes there is a "long" delay (about 3 seconds.)
This is unnecessary and is fixed.
-> If "analyze" is on, DCF v4.0 gives warning when user tries to
copy a low density to a high density disk but not the other way
around. In this version, DCF gives warning in both cases.
-> To make the DCF.EXE as small as possible (so that users can
load more tracks in memory instead of hard disk.) the on-line
help is removed from DCF.EXE and becomes a stand alone program.
-> Users can run DCFHELP.EXE and REGISTER.COM either on-line or
off-line.
-> If a new disk is sensed, i.e. user has already remove old disk
and insert a new one, DCF will read or write immediately without
asking user to press the enter key.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0F ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Fix a major bug which happens when reading a 1.2MB/1.44MB
diskettes after reading a 360KB/720KB diskette.
-> Fix a problem (not bug) which happens only on some 286 machines.
-> Fix a problem (not bug) which happens when working with some
BIOS such as Phoenix, DTK.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0D ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Fix two major bugs, keyword $DRIVE in CONFIG.DCF file (see
section 4 of DCF40D.DOC) and auto-sensing for third and fourth
drives.
-> Fix several minor bugs. Most of them are interface problems.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0B ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Fix a minor bug. When Option|Sound is off, DCF40 still gives
audio signals. This is fixed in DCF40B.
╔═════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0 ║
╚═════════════════════════╝
-> Complete rewrite to include many new features.
-> More hot keys for producing multiple target diskettes.
-> Command line arguments support. Allow you to set options or
specify source and target. Ideal to use with batch file.
-> Mouse support. No keyboard except in the Help|Register section.
-> On-line help. Helps available for topics or keyword search.
-> On-line registration. Make your registration as easy as possible.
-> New command line options (/a and /w) for extra safety protection.
-> New option (/k) to save keystrokes if you don't use mouse.
-> Auto-sensing feature is modified so that it prompts you to change
diskette only when necessary. In other cases it will read or
write immediately after it has sensed a diskette present.
-> Support from 8088/4.77 to 486/50MHz, from monochrome, CGA to SVGA.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v3.2B ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> A small bug is fixed for working on monochrome mode.
-> Motor turned off in two seconds after a read or write.
-> When reading or writing diskette the prompt window updates message
according to status of the diskette drive (door opened or closed.)
╔═════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v3.2 ║
╚═════════════════════════╝
The hot keys feature in v3.1 has problem accessing the correct drive.
The sequence of command numbers for the hot keys was hard coded with
constant values. When the number of commands increases in v3.1 those
numbers were left unchanged and wrong commands were executed.
