   There has never been a Text file writen to explain How to use the
Blitz Software till now. Many of the users have ask for someone to please
make a Text file to show how to use the Software. That is what this is all
about. First thing we must do is give credit to the Author of the Program
that this Intro is being done with. The program is called TCOS and it is
(c) 1989 by Matthew Aubury and can be downloaded from GEnie. Now back to the
good stuff. The first thing you should do is to Hook up the Blitz Cable and
make sure that all the connections are good that is that each one is in good
and then put you Disk with the Blitz Software on it into Drive A and turn on
your computer and double click on the Blitz program, the drive light on B
should come on, now its time to set Blitz to copy the Disk that you want to
copy, to find out how to set Blitz you should now go back and look at the
different Pictures marked Pic-A1 through Pic-A4 to get an idea of how to set
Blitz to work with the many different types of formatts. Now that you have
looked at just a few ways of setting up the Software, you can try it out and
see just how fast it is, as it will copy a Single sided Disk in less time
than most others are just getting started Blitz has made a Backup.

   We have gotten many letters as to ask if there is any Short Cuts in
useing the New Blitz program. The only short cut we have been able to find
is that when we use Blitz it makes making backups much faster and easyer
than any other types of backup programs that are known. The speed of Blitz
can be Help if you have a copy of Turbo ST 1.6 on the Disk also. As we have
stated before you can run Blitz from a Hard Drive, but for the Best way to
run Blitz is from Disk and you must have two Drives 'A' & 'B'. For we here
at Plexus will continue to Bata Test Blitz for further additional info.

   If you find any more bugs please send the info to Plexus Systems Ltd.
Just drop us a line on a Postcard.


   Here is what Blitz II looks like when it is first booted up. Just click
in the Box A7 to see.

   Blitz has been tested on every Atari ST even with a Hard Drive and has
worked just fine. But remember Blitz has its limits too, that is it will
not Copy everything that is on the market. But it was not ment to, it was
only for the benefit of the user to make a legal Backups of his Software.

   You can make as many Copys of this File and please do so and give it to
your friends as it is not ShareWare but Freeware or Public Domain from

problem with Blitz or any other program and would like Help with it then

   As of this Date there is only one Bug but there might be
others that are not known, the one that is known only happens
if you just boot up Blitz and do not make any settings and you
have the new TOS 1.4 or Rainbow, it sometimes does not want to
work, the way around this is to reboot and try again, or you can
just make a setting and then remove the setting so as it is back
to the way you booted up. The bug is it sometimes does not want
to AUTO read the Tracks and AUTO read the Sides, a small bug. To
make sure what type of formatt the Disk has it is best to use some
other Utility that will tell you the number of tracks and sides.
Then you can set Blitz to Copy the Disk.
