DISKDUPE TRIAL MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
DISKDUPE CAN DO IT!
Thank you for trying DiskDupe. DiskDupe is the best program to
automate your disk duplicating needs. DiskDupe can duplicate disks
amazingly fast and without any fuss. You won't waste any more time
with slow, cumbersome DOS commands.
FAST AND EASY
To duplicate disks, insert the master disk in your floppy drive
and let DiskDupe read it into your computer's RAM memory and, if
necessary, onto your hard disk. DiskDupe can then make as many
duplicates as you want without having to re-read the master disk.
DiskDupe uses advanced DMA and multi-tasking techniques to
duplicate 62, 5" or 31, 3" disks per hour, complete with full
formatting and verification. If your master disk is less than
full, DiskDupe will run even faster.
If you want to protect your master disk, DiskDupe lets you store
its image on your hard disk. Then later, when your master disk is
safely put away, you can use the image to make more duplicates.
If you have lots of master disks that you need to make just a few
duplicates of, DiskDupe's RELAY feature makes it easy. Simply put
write protect tabs on all of your master disks. Then place your
blank disks behind each master. DiskDupe will duplicate each
write-protected master to all of the disks behind it that are not
write-protected.
MORE SPEED
For more speed, DiskDupe lets you format disks ahead of time. Now
you don't have to wait for that master disk to arrive to get
started. Format 200, 5" disks today, or 100, 3" disks, get the
master disk at 4, tomorrow, and by 5, you'll be out the door! If
you have two similar disk drives, DiskDupe can even save you the
time it takes to change disks by using a Standby Drive.
