- ╔══════════════════════════╗
- ║ 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.
