- latest versions of our files by downloading files from this library.
- These files have been encrypted with PC Secure and must be decrypted
- with PC Secure Version 5 (or later) before they can be used. You must
- have PCSecure in your DOS PATH statement and have entered a "Master Key"
- before the automatic decryption can occur. If you are unsure what the
- "Master Key" is, please consult your documentation.
-
- INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1. Download the files into a new subdirectory using the names listed.
- 2. Once offline, change to the new subdirectory and run the first file.
- This will unarchive the file and generate a RUNME.BAT.
- 3. Run "RUNME" to decrypt the file.
- 4. The RUNME.BAT file will ask whether or not you want to overwrite the
- file. Answer "Y" for yes.
- 5. Repeat steps 2, 3, & 4 above for each file.

- COMMENTS ABOUT THE LATEST VERSION OF MIRROR.COM:
-
-
- The version of MIRROR.COM that accompanies this text file can now be
- loaded high with either QEMM, 386MAX, and most other Loadhi utilities.
-
- As you know, there are two parts to Mirror:
-
- o Mirror itself, that protects your hard drive from damage by
- saving a reserve copy of your File Allocation Table and Root
- Directory. Processing the File Allocation Table and Root Directory
- requires a significant amount of memory (the larger the drive - the
- more memory is needed). This part of Mirror only needs memory when
- it is active. It releases all memory when done.
-
- o The Delete Tracker protects you by making a note of information
- about each file that is deleted on your drive. It records the file
- name as well as a list of sectors that the file occupied. This
- information is invaluable when trying to recover inadvertantly
- deleted information. This portion of Mirror is memory resident,
- but needs just a small block of memory (approximately 7Kb).
-
- Older versions of Mirror tried to process the system areas of the hard
- drive each time they were run. For this reason they weren't able to be
- loaded high in most cases. There just wasn't enough contiguous high
- memory available. The new version of Mirror solves this problem, but
- it requires you to load Mirror in a slightly different way. If you
- load Mirror like this now:
-
- MIRROR C: /TC
-
- and wish to load it high with QEMM you will need to change it to:
-
- MIRROR C:
- C:\QEMM\LOADHI C:\PCTOOLS\MIRROR /TC
-
-
- If you load Mirror as:
-
- MIRROR C: D: /TC /TC
-
- you will change it to:
-
- MIRROR C: D:
- C:\QEMM\LOADHI C:\PCTOOLS\MIRROR /TC /TD
