PREFACE
This manual is dedicated to Mae and Dave of MaeDae Enterprises
without whose never ending perseverance, Super DiskCopy would not
be possible.
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
You will notice that this manual is concise. This is intentional
as we have strived to make Super DiskCopy the easiest program of its
type to use. We have opted to provide an on-line manual and
extensive context sensitive user help. Feel free to use this
reference manual to install and get acquainted with the program.
Also, we will be using the acronym "SDC" interchangeably with
Super DiskCopy throughout this manual.
For many of you, this may be your first exposure to Shareware.
To help eliminate possible confusion, we have included a short
description of the Shareware marketing concept, explaining what
it is and why it relies on you for its survival.
What is Shareware? Shareware is not a kind of software. It is a
revolutionary method of marketing Commercial software. Our
software is Commercial software that we are allowing you to
examine for 15 days before you make the purchase decision. With
traditional marketing methods, you have to purchase Commercial
software from a computer store or through mail order businesses,
then try it out, and hope it does what you want. Shareware
allows you to "try before you buy!"
We rely upon you, the customer, to examine our software. If you
find our software useful, please register. Your support is
needed for us to continue to improve our products.
Enough of this verbage. The real fun and learning begin when you
use the program. So enjoy, live long, and prosper.
With warmest regards,
The gang at Super Software.

WHAT IS Super DiskCopy?
=======================
Super DiskCopy 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. Format diskettes in a variety of formats,
5. Map out a diskette usage,
6. Find out information about a diskette -- sides, sectors, etc,
7. And do it all without cryptic commands!
Super DiskCopy 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. 256K RAM and DOS 3.0 or later. We recommend 640K for maximum
performance.
3. Any monitor. Super DiskCopy 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 and a hard disk (2MB
free space minimum for the full system and space for a spool file
to allow copying of floppies) are strongly recommended. Super
DiskCopy supports 160K, 180K, 320K, 360K, and 1.2M format 5.25"
diskettes and 720K/1.44M 3 1/2" diskettes.

INSTALLATION
============
Two 5.25" diskettes are normally included with Super DiskCopy.
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 Shareware
version of Super DiskCopy that has copying restrictions, but all
other
