DISKDUPE TRIAL MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
DISKDUPE DUPLICATES DISKS FAST!
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. Other programs simply don't measure up to DiskDupe
in terms of speed, bad disk detection, ease of use, and depth of
features.
DiskDupe duplicates, formats and compares disks up to 6 times faster
than DOS. It copies even high-density disks in a single drive - without
swapping! DiskDupe senses when you put a disk in the drive and goes
right to work. If a disk needs to be formatted, that's taken care of
automatically. To perform at maximum speed, DiskDupe bypasses DOS and
the BIOS and talks directly to your floppy controller.
REQUIREMENTS
- IBM PC, PS/2 or Compatible
- DOS 2.0 or later
- 300k RAM
- Hard Disk (or two floppy drives and 100k Expanded Memory)
INSTALLATION
HARD DISK INSTALLATION
To install DiskDupe on your hard disk:
1. Type: MD C:\DISKDUPE <Enter> to make a subdirectory for DiskDupe
on your hard disk.
2. Type: CD C:\DISKDUPE <Enter> to change to that directory.
3. Insert the DiskDupe program disk in drive A:, or the appropriate
floppy drive, and type: COPY A:\*.* <Enter> to copy the files to your
hard disk.
4. Type DISKDUPE <Enter> to run DiskDupe.
DiskDupe searches the current directory and your path for its
configuration file DISKDUPE.DAT. You can add the \DISKDUPE subdirectory
Page 4
DISKDUPE TRIAL MANUAL
to the path statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that you do not need
to change to the \DISKDUPE subdirectory every time you run DiskDupe.
NETWORK INSTALLATION
Running DiskDupe on a network allows you to take full advantage of the
multiuser environment and allows you to share image files. As long as
only one computer is using DiskDupe at a time, you can install DiskDupe
on the network under the terms of this license agreement. If more than
one person will be using DiskDupe at the same time, contact us for
information on a site license.
If you are the only one using DiskDupe on your network, you can install
it as described above in the hard disk installation. However, if you
would like multiple workstations to be able to access DiskDupe, the
network administrator should install it according to the following
instructions.
1. Copy all the files from the DiskDupe disk into a shared
subdirectory on the network.
2. Copy the file DISKDUPE.DAT from the shared subdirectory to a local
subdirectory that DiskDupe will be started from.
3. DiskDupe searches the current directory and the path for its
configuration file DISKDUPE.DAT, which is updated with DiskDupe's
current settings each time you exit. If DiskDupe cannot locate a
DISKDUPE.DAT file, it creates one in the directory from which it was
started. There are several ways for a user's configuration to be saved:
- Add the local subdirectory to the user's PATH statement.
- Keep "Use CMOS for A&B" set as "Yes" in the shared subdirectory. If
started with the shared DISKDUPE.DAT, DiskDupe will start up with the
A: and B: drives tailored to the specific workstation's configuration
at the time it was turned on or rebooted (drive settings can still be
changed from within DiskDupe at any time). This alleviates the need
for some users to have a local DISKDUPE.DAT file.
- Start DiskDupe from the local subdirectory or create a batch file
to do so.
FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION
If the computer doesn't have a hard disk an
