WHAT IS EZ-Copy Lite?
======================
EZ-Copy Lite is a powerful diskette duplicator that allows you
to:
1. Read a diskette into memory,
2. Make as many copies as you desire without re-reading the
source,
3. Compare the disk in memory against other diskettes,
4. Map out a diskette useage,
5. Find out information about a diskette -- sides, sectors, etc,
6. And do it all without cryptic commands!
EZ-Copy Lite comes configured to work with most display adapters
and monitors. You can easily customize it to suit your needs.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
=====================
1. IBM PC/XT/AT, IBM PS/2, or fully compatible computer.
2. 640K RAM and DOS 3.0 or later.
3. Any monitor. EZ-Copy Lite has been written to accommodate
monochrome, color, enhanced graphics, and video graphics array
adapters. Some "autoswitch" adapters may need to be in "manual".
4. At least one 5.25" floppy disk drive. Two floppy disk drives
or one floppy and a hard disk (400K free space minimum for the
full system) are strongly recommended. EZ-Copy Lite supports
160K, 180K, 320K, and 360K format 5.25" diskettes.

INSTALLATION
============
Two 5.25" diskettes are normally included with EZ-Copy Lite.
Also, some copies sold thru various distributors may vary in disk
quantity and make up, but all the files will be there.
The diskette with the bright green label contains a Valueware
version of EZ-Copy Lite that has copying restrictions, but all
other features are enabled. The purpose of this diskette is to
check your entire system for proper operation before you break
the seal on the full system diskettes. (a.k.a. Diskette #0)
Diskette #1 (the main disk) contains the actual program, the
context sensitive help, the on-line manual and additional support
files. Diskette 1 is sealed.
INSTALLATION FOR the Valueware DISKETTE
=======================================
1. Make sure the Disk Operating System (DOS) has been loaded into
your system and you are at A>> (system prompt). If you are
confused, consult your computer manual or your local PC "guru"
first as we can only help you with EZCL. If you need help with
DOS, try a local community college, adult continuing education
course at a local high school, or a "Puter-Tutor" type training
service.
2. Insert the Valueware diskette into DRIVE A.
3. Type

RETURN (ENTER on some machines, also, <<cr>> )
