- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.2 ║
- ╚══════════════════════════╝

- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.1 ║
- ╚══════════════════════════╝
- There are totally 19 modifications in this version, including
- enhancements and minor bugs fixing. Most of them are transparent
- to users. There are many possible enhancements on my list, but I
- spent most of the time during the past two months working on DCP
- and DUP. More enhancement will be done in next version.
-
- -> Fix a bug which happens after a write operation is interrupted.
- -> Fix the change line problem. When user DIR disk 1 followed by
- reading and writing disk 2 then DIR again, DOS sometimes show
- the directory of disk 1 not disk 2, although disk 2 has been
- copied flawlessly. This is fixed in this version.
- -> Fix the "long" delay problem. When DCF v4.0 encountered error
- during a read or write operation and users choose to SKIP or
- Retry, sometimes there is a "long" delay (about 3 seconds.)
- This is unnecessary and is fixed.
- -> If "analyze" is on, DCF v4.0 gives warning when user tries to
- copy a low density to a high density disk but not the other way
- around. In this version, DCF gives warning in both cases.
- -> To make the DCF.EXE as small as possible (so that users can
- load more tracks in memory instead of hard disk.) the on-line
- help is removed from DCF.EXE and becomes a stand alone program.
- -> Users can run DCFHELP.EXE and REGISTER.COM either on-line or
- off-line.
- -> If a new disk is sensed, i.e. user has already remove old disk
- and insert a new one, DCF will read or write immediately without
- asking user to press the enter key.

- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0F ║
- ╚══════════════════════════╝
- -> Fix a major bug which happens when reading a 1.2MB/1.44MB
- diskettes after reading a 360KB/720KB diskette.
- -> Fix a problem (not bug) which happens only on some 286 machines.
- -> Fix a problem (not bug) which happens when working with some
- BIOS such as Phoenix, DTK.

- ╔══════════════════════════╗
- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0D ║
- ╚══════════════════════════╝
- -> Fix two major bugs, keyword $DRIVE in CONFIG.DCF file (see
- section 4 of DCF40D.DOC) and auto-sensing for third and fourth
- drives.
- -> Fix several minor bugs. Most of them are interface problems.
-
- ╔══════════════════════════╗
- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0B ║
- ╚══════════════════════════╝
- -> Fix a minor bug. When Option|Sound is off, DCF40 still gives
- audio signals. This is fixed in DCF40B.
-
- ╔═════════════════════════╗
- ║ DISK COPY FAST v4.0 ║
- ╚═════════════════════════╝
- -> Complete rewrite to include many new features.
- -> More hot keys for producing multiple target diskettes.
- -> Command line arguments support. Allow you to set options or
- specify source and target. Ideal to use with batch file.
- -> Mouse support. No keyboard except in the Help|Register section.
- -> On-line help. Helps available for topics or keyword search.
- -> On-line registration. Make your registration as easy as possible.
- -> New command line options (/a and /w) for extra safety protection.
- -> New option (/k) to save keystrokes if you don't use mouse.
- -> Auto-sensing feature is modified so that it prompts you to change
- diskette only when necessary. In other cases it will read or
- write immediately after it has sensed a diskette present.
- -> Support from 8088/4.77 to 486/50MHz, from monochrome, CGA to SVGA.
