- DISK DOUBLER 1.0
- by Steven Grimm
-
- This program allows users with double-sided disk drives to store two
- single-sided disks on one double-sided disk. It will copy from either side on
- either floppy to either side on either floppy. It's mainly useful for
- archival purposes; one double-sided disk can take the place of two single-
- sided disks.
-
- To use the program, double-click on DISKDOUB.PRG. A dialog box will
- appear, allowing you to select a disk drive and side for both the source
- and target disks. Single-drive copying is supported. You can also choose
- to format the target side (for instance, to format the back of a disk but
- leave the front alone.)
-
- Once you've set up the proper drives and sides, click on the COPY
- button. Two rows of minus signs will appear at the bottom of the screen,
- and gradually change to plus signs as the copying progresses. When both
- rows are filled with plusses, the copy is complete.
-
- Currently, Disk Doubler only copies unprotected disks with 80 tracks
- and nine sectors per track. Future revisions will support extended disk
- formats and copy-protected formats.
-
- Disk Doubler is a public-domain program. Please distribute it as
- widely as possible.
