- This program will enable the user to save a binary image of a
- diskette to a file on your hard disk, and to later recreate an
- identical copy of the disk from that file. This is useful for creating
- backup copies of diskettes, or to create an file image which may be
- transferred via modem to a remote site. This is different from an
- ordinary copy program, in that the resulting copy of the disk is an
- identical copy of the original. The resulting disk is the same as if
- DOS's DISKCOPY command were used to make the copy. This should work
- for most disks, but will probably not work on disks with copy
- protection. This program should work on any disk which can be
- successfully copied using DISKCOPY. This program should work on any
- standard IBM floppy disk format and some non-standard formats. Note
- that the target disk must be pre-formatted to the correct format.

- conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette containing

- the program, and the version number.
- Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
- the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
- the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
- the user may evaluate the software fully.
