-
- 1. INTRODUCTION:
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST is a one pass diskette duplication utility which
- makes copies of 1.44 MB, 720 KB, 1.2 MB and 360 KB diskettes.
-
- DISK COPY FAST is incredibly fast. For example, using DOS
- command DISKCOPY to duplicate a 360 KB, 1.2 MB, 720 KB or 1.44
- Mb diskette, assuming diskette shuffling doesn't take any time,
- will take 43%, 50%, 42% or 57% longer than using DISK COPY FAST.
- Add up the shuffling time the saving becomes unbelievable. See
- section 10 for details.
-
- More importantly, DISK COPY FAST achieves its high performance
- by precise timing, not by sacrificing compatibility. Every
- single read, write or format is done following the industry
- standard, strictly, no compromise!
-
- Can you ask for anything more?
-
- See the next section for other outstanding features.
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 8
-
-
-
- 2. MAIN FEATURES
-
-
- *** Performs the DOS commands FORMAT, DISKCOPY and DISKCOMP
- all in one single pass.
-
- *** Copy VERY fast from 8088 to 486, from monochrome to SVGA.
-
- *** Friendly, informative and visually appealing user interface
- with on-line help and mouse support. No need to go through
- a lengthy DOC file and you still couldn't remember all the
- options and switches.
-
- *** Command line arguments for working with batch files.
-
- *** Hot keys designed to make your backup or mass production
- much easier.
-
- *** Utilizes extended memory (XMS) for faster speed and to
- save your hard disk from unnecessary wear and tear.
-
- *** Creates an exact image file of a diskette.
-
- *** Fast mode that reads and writes only the diskette portion
- which contains data and does not waste any time reading
- and writing the empty portion.
-
- *** Supports four diskette drive systems.
-
- *** Provides Some degree of protection against boot sector
- virus. (See section 13. Although not complete, this
- sometimes can be a life-saver.)
-
- *** Audio signal at end of reading and writing a diskette or 20
- seconds of inactivity.
-
- *** High efficiency. When copying a 1.2 MB diskette in a
- system with 590 KB free memory, DISK COPY FAST easily
- stored 32 tracks while another diskette copy program could
- only store 17 tracks of data in conventional memory.
-
- *** More features waiting for you to discover. The more
- experienced you are the better the DISK COPY FAST stands
- out.
-
- If you duplicate large quantities of diskettes on a regular basis
- there is more for you. Check the features of DISK COPY PLUS, a
- professional version of DISK COPY FAST, on section 18.

-
-
-
- 3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENT AND COMPATIBILITY
-
-
- To run DISK COPY FAST you need at least 200K Bytes of free
- conventional memory. In addition, the total of free conventional
- and extended memory plus free current disk (hard disk or RAM
- disk) space should be at least 128K Bytes more than the diskette
- you want to duplicate.
-
-
- If you intend to use extended memory, some type of extended
- memory driver, such as HIMEM.SYS which comes with DOS (version
- 5.0 or above) or QEMM which you need to purchase separately, is
- required. Extended memory can be accessed without any driver but
- it is dangerous to do so.
-
-
- The program has been tested on machines with different hardware
- and software configurations. The testing results show that it
- runs almost as fast on an 8088 as on a 486 machine. If your
- system does not have enough memory and needs to use the hard
- disk instead, your hard disk should have at least a 200 KB/sec
- transfer rate and should not be overly fragmented.
-
- PS/2 with micro channel is not supported.
-

-
-
-
- 4. HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN DISK COPY FAST
-
-
- It's easy! Just copy all the files to a directory created for
- DISK COPY FAST. In order to run the program anywhere you like
- you need to include the directory in the PATH defined in your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file or create a one-line batch file containing
- the path of DCF.EXE.
-
-
- To run the program type "DCF" followed by the "enter" key. If
- you only have one or two floppy drives you can skip the rest of
- this section and continue at section 5 for command line
- arguments.
-
-
- In systems with four floppy drives, if a device driver which
- came with the controller is installed DISK COPY FAST usually can
- detect the drive letters automatically and the drive letters
- should be used to specify the third and fourth drives. If no
- device driver (TSR) is installed you need to use 3 and 4 as the
- drive letters for the third and fourth drives. In this case you
- need to edit a text file that provides the information on floppy
- drive capacity.
-
-
- The following is an example of the text file in which a 1.2MB,
- a 1.44MB and a 360KB drives are specified as the first, the
- second and the third drives with drive letters A: B: and G:,
- respectively. The 0 on the last line indicates that the fourth
- drive is not installed. If all drives are defined, such as in
- the example, DISK COPY FAST will not check with DOS for drive
- capacity. This can speed up the initialization process.
-
-
- $DRIVE
- 1 1200 A:
- 2 1440 B:
- 3 360 G:
- 4 0
-
-
- The name of the text file is CONFIG.DCF. DCF automatically looks
- for this as its configuration file. If you use a different name
- you will need to specify the file name on the command line. For
- example, "DCF @ABC" if the file name is ABC.
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 11
-
-
-
- 5. COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS AND EXAMPLES
-
-
- There are thirteen options you can specify using command line
- arguments. You can also toggle the first six with the pull down
- menu. Other options can only be specified on the command line
- and/or in the CONFIG.DCF file. The command line options override
- the CONFIG.DCF options.
-
-
- In addition, you can also specify an alternative configuration
- file, source, and/or target drive/image file on the command line.
- See examples at the end of this section.
-
-
- Note that the '+' sign after any option can be omitted.
-
-
- /c followed by +/-. Set Compare ON/OFF. When ON the program
- performs read-back and byte-by-byte comparison for every
- track written to a target diskette. Default is ON.
-
- /m followed by +/-. Set Format ON/OFF. When ON the program
- formats before writing to target diskettes. If OFF the
- program will format only when necessary. Default is OFF.
-
- /f followed by +/-. Set Fast ON/OFF. When ON the program will
- only read/write the portion with active data and skip empty
- portion of diskettes. Default is ON.
-
- /s followed by +/-. Set Sound ON/OFF. When ON the program will
- give an audio signal after reading and writing a diskette or
- 20 seconds of inactivity. Default is ON.
-
- /k followed by +/-. Set Keystrokes +/-. When + you need to
- press the highlighted letter followed by the "enter" key to
- execute a command. When - NO "enter" key is required.
- Default is +.
-
- /n followed by +/-. Set Menu +/-. Available only when a mouse
- driver is present. When + you can see and click at every
- command to execute. When - you need to pull the second level
- commands down from a level one command. Default is -.
-
- /d followed by +/-. Set Delay ON/Off. If your machine is not so
- slow as an 8088/4.77MHz and would like to see whether the
- program can copy at highest speed on your system try /d-.
- Default is ON.
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 12
-
-
-
-
-
-
- /t followed by +/-. Set density priority. If + the program tries
- reading a new disk as a high density disk in a 1.2 or 1.44MB
- drive. If - low density has higher priority. Default is +.
-
- /o followed by +/-. Set "mono in color" mode. In a color
- system, you can use /o+ to force DISK COPY FAST run in black
- and white. Default is -.
-
- /x followed by +/-. Set multiple target ON/OFF. If ON the
- program will read source once and write targets repeatedly.
- The program quits automatically when you press the ESC key.
- To turn this option ON you also need to specify the source
- and target on the command line. Default is OFF.
-
- /b followed by +/-. Set backup ON/OFF. If ON the program will
- repeatedly read source and write target. The program quits
- automatically when you press the ESC key. To turn this
- option ON you also need to specify the source and target on
- command line. Default is OFF.
-
- /a followed by +/-. Set analyze ON/OFF. If ON the program will
- check density before copying to a target diskette. If you
- copy a low density to a high density disk or vice versa
- (usually a mistake) the program will give a warning and you
- can decide to skip, go ahead, or format before writing.
- Default is ON.
-
- /w followed by +/-. Set "write protect" ON/OFF. If ON the
- program will not read a diskette which is not write-
- protected. This is useful when you are backing up a sequence
- of diskettes and the source are all write-protected. You use
- this option to prevent the mistake of reading a diskette
- which should be a target instead of source. Default is OFF.
-
- @file_name specify alternative name for the configuration file.
-
- file_name define file_name as source or target image file.
-
- drive: define a floppy drive as source or target drive.

- 6. HOW TO USE PULL-DOWN MENUS IN DISK COPY FAST
-
-
- After you type DCF followed by the "enter" key, the Shareware
- screen appears. Press the enter key again, after three seconds,
- and the Main Menu appears.
-
-
- 6.1 SELECT : To select a command, use the arrow keys or simply
- press the highlighted letter. If Option|Key is - the
- command will be executed immediately.
-
-
- 6.2 EXECUTE : To execute a command, press the enter key after
- you have selected the command. If Option|Key is - you don't
- need to press the enter key.
-
-
- 6.3 ESC key : You can press the ESC key to interrupt a Read or
- Write action. If the program is not busy doing something
- this will return you to the Main Menu. If you are already at
- the Main Menu, the program will exit to the operating system.
-
-
- 6.4 Mouse : With this version mouse support is added. You can
- use the mouse on any screen except Help|register. When
- prompted you can click the left button on an answer. You can
- also click the right button to signal an interrupt. Clicking
- the right button is the same as pressing the ESC key.
- Options can be toggled by clicking on the option window.
- When a mouse driver is present you can choose between Full
- and Regular menu by Option|Menu. Full menu is highly
- recommended.

-
-
-
- 7. WINDOWS
-
-
- There are three windows in DISK COPY FAST.
-
-
- 7.1 RESOURCE window : This window shows you the resources in
- your system which can be utilized for duplicating a
- diskette. Inside this window, "Con mem" shows you the size
- of free conventional memory, "Ext mem" shows you the size
- of free extended memory and "Cur dsk" shows you the size of
- free space on the current disk (hard or RAM disk.) It also
- shows you the capacities of available diskette drives.
-
-
- 7.2 OPTION window : It shows you current read/write options.
- See command "Option" in the next section for details and how
- to change them.
-
-
- 7.3 INFORMATION window : It shows you the status of the loaded
- source diskette. For example if it says 61 out of 80 tracks
- it means the source diskette has 80 tracks but only the
- first 61 tracks contains useful data and the last 19 tracks
- are empty. Then it will show you how these 61 tracks are
- loaded in your system. For example, it may says 34 tracks in
- conventional memory, 20 in extended memory and 7 on current
- disk. It also shows you other information such as the time
- it took to perform the last read, write (in seconds) and how
- many copies you have made so far.
-
- Note that the information window won't be visible until you
- have a source diskette loaded in your system. Also note
- that the track numbers shown when reading or writing a
- diskette are 0 based which means if the diskette has 80
- tracks the track numbers will be 0 to 79 instead of 1 to
- 80.
-
-
-

-
-
-
- 8. COMMAND REFERENCE
-
-
- 8.1 Read: Loads the source diskette data from a diskette drive
- or from an image file created previously by DISK COPY FAST
- to conventional memory and extended memory and then hard
- disk.
-
-
- 8.2 Write: Writes a loaded source diskette's data to a diskette
- drive or an image file.
-
-
- 8.3 Compare: Compares the loaded source diskette with another
- diskette in a diskette drive or an image file.
-
-
- 8.4 Option: Includes six subcommands for you to set read/write
- options, sound, keystroke and menu style.
-
- "Format ON" means format target diskette before writing.
-
- "Format OFF" means format only when necessary.
-
- "Compare ON" means perform a read-back and BYTE-BY-BYTE
- comparison immediately after writing a track to
- target diskette.
-
- "Fast ON" means don't read/write empty portion of source and
- target diskette.
-
- "Sound ON" turns audio signal ON.
-
- "Key -" saves you some keystrokes.
-
- "Menu +" gives you a Full and faster menu.
-
- If a mouse driver is present, options can be toggled
- directly by clicking on the option window.
-
- The current status of these options is shown in the OPTION
- window. Note that subcommands "Format" and "Compare" affect
- write only while "Fast" affects both read and write.

-
-
- 9. HOT KEYS
-
-
- When you purchase software, you know how important it is to make
- a backup. So you FORMAT, DISKCOPY... shuffle, shuffle. After all
- the hard work you still feel a little uneasy. So you DISKCOMP
- and again you are busy shuffling. What a waste of time and
- energy!
-
-
- Let DISK COPY FAST do the hard work and save time for you. Type
- DCF to bring up the menu, press F5 (or F6) and then alternate
- between source and target diskettes. When you are finished just
- press the ESC key. It's fast and it's easy. No more shuffling.
- You don't need to repeat the same command sequences and all the
- switches over and over again. Best of all, the BYTE-BY-BYTE
- comparison is already done. No need to DISKCOMP.
-
-
- Sounds good? Give it a try. Just remember F5 (function key) is
- for copying a sequence of diskettes in drive A and F6 is for
- copying a sequence of diskettes in drive B. If you want to
- change the read/write options do it before using the hot keys.
-
-
- With this version two more hotkeys are added. F7 and F8 produce
- multiple target diskettes in drive A: and B:, respectively. The
- source diskette needs to be loaded before using these two
- hotkeys.
-
-
- Note : 1) DISK COPY FAST has an auto-sensing feature. The
- program will start reading or writing a diskette when
- it senses that a diskette is present. The only
- exception is when you are using the same drive
- repeatedly. In this case, to give you a chance to
- change diskettes, the program will wait for a "drive
- door opened followed by a drive door closed" even if
- it has sensed that a diskette is already present.
-
-
- 2) Because of the auto-sensing feature mentioned above,
- no matter how many diskettes you need to copy the
- whole operation requires only two keystrokes, one of
- the F5 to F8 keys at the beginning and the ESC key at
- the end. Between these two keystrokes all you have to
- do is changing diskettes when reading or writing is
- completed.

-
-
- 10.1 Benchmark, HOW FAST CAN IT GO
-
-
- The following results are from a 386, 16.7 MHz (33 MHz with
- Turbo mode turned off) compatible machine with 360KB, 1.2MB and
- 1.44MB diskette drives. The numbers are the time in seconds for
- DISK COPY FAST and DOS commands to perform the specific task.
- In each cell, the 1st number is for a 100% full diskette the
- second number (in parentheses) is for 25% loaded diskette.
-
- The time for DOS commands does NOT include diskette shuffling
- time.

- (2) Under the "task" column in the above table, R stands
- for Read, W stands for Write, F stands for Format
- and C stands for BYTE-BY-BYTE comparison.

- your machine is not too slow you can do better with
- option delay OFF.

-
-
-
- 10.2 Comparison, HOW MUCH CAN YOU SAVE
-
-
- Again, we give DOS commands the best possible conditions. We
- assume diskette shuffling doesn't take any time. When there is
- more than one way to have the work done using DOS commands, we
- choose the one with the shortest time. For example, while you
- can use DISKCOPY to copy from source to unformatted target, it
- would be faster to format the diskette first before copying and
- this will be the DOS method we use for comparison.
-
- Still, there are some problems with DOS commands which we can't
- help. For example, DOS commands have no FAST mode and can't
- read a source once and write target many times.
-
- The following tables show how much longer, in percentage, it
- takes using DOS commands than using DISK COPY FAST. The first
- table is for a 100% full diskette and the second table is for
- a 25% loaded diskette. In each table, the first row is for
- straight copying, no format, no comparison, the second row
- includes comparison but not formatting, the third row includes
- formatting but not comparison. The last row includes both.

-
-
- 11. WHAT IS AN IMAGE FILE ?
-
-
- When you format a 1.2 M Bytes diskette, it actually contains
- 1,228,800 bytes but DOS tells you only 1,213,952 bytes are
- available. Where are the other 14,848 bytes? They are used by
- DOS to store information about the format, allocation of files
- and root directory of the diskette. When you use COPY or XCOPY
- to copy files from one diskette to another this information is
- not copied. Also, the file allocation may be different. Same
- files may occupy different sectors on the two diskettes.
-
-
- An image file is created by reading the source diskette
- sector-by-sector, track-by-track in the original order. It
- contains every bit of information of the source diskette.
- Thus, the size of the image file of a 1.2 MB diskette will be
- exactly 1,228,800. This file can be stored on the hard disk or
- on tape. (You can use some type of compression utility program
- such as ARJ, LHA or PKZIP to save storage space if you like)
-
-
- Why do I want to do that, You ask? I'll describe one possible
- application here.
-
-
- For archive purpose: You know the importance of backing up
- the software you bought. How do you do that? DISKCOPY them to
- another set of floppies? You can do that but what if you
- already have hundreds of floppies around? If you are rich you
- can save image files to hard disk. If you are not so rich save
- them to tape. With compression one tape (costs about $20) can
- hold as many as 200 image files of 1.2 MB floppies yet the
- size is smaller than an audio cassette. Several months from
- now if your original diskettes are damaged you can retrieve
- image files from the tape, write to new diskettes and you have
- an identical copy of the original (this won't work if the
- original is copy-protected.) Of course tape drives are slow,
- but this is archiving and you are not supposed to have to do
- it often.

-
-
-
- 12. ABOUT EXTENDED MEMORY
-
-
- To use extended memory (i.e. memory beyond 1 MB) you need the
- following.
-
- 1. At least IBM PC AT or compatible with 80286 or better CPU.
-
- 2. Of course you need to have extended memory installed.
-
- 3. For safety reasons DISK COPY FAST also requires that you
- have some kind of extended memory manager (or driver)
- installed which conforms to the Microsoft eXtended Memory
- Specification (XMS), version 2.0 or above. You can use
- HIMEM.SYS which is included with DOS 5.0 so you don't need
- to spend extra money to get one. You can also use QEMM386
- or any other memory manager as long as it conforms to the
- XMS specification.

-
-
-
- 13. ABOUT BOOT SECTOR VIRUS PROTECTION
-
-
- !!! IMPORTANT : Do not assume a diskette is virus-free just because
- it is accepted by DISK COPY FAST.
-
-
- As a bonus, DISK COPY FAST also gives you some protection
- against boot sector viruses such as Michaelangelo. DISK COPY
- FAST was never intended to be an anti-virus program and by no
- means should this kind of protection be considered complete.
- Having said that, here is how it works.
-
-
- Every diskette contains some important information in the boot
- sector which is usually damaged when infected by a boot sector
- virus. If DISK COPY FAST finds any invalid data in the boot
- sector it will warn you and refuse to copy the diskette. You
- can then use an anti-virus program to check it and/or kill it.
- This feature can be very helpful or even a life-saver when you
- don't think so, but you actually have a boot sector virus on
- a source diskette.
-
-
- A side effect of this feature is that sometimes you have a
- virus-free diskette with invalid data in the boot sector and
- DISK COPY FAST refuses to copy it. For example, the way some
- anti-virus programs kill a boot sector virus is to write a
- constant value on the boot sector. The virus is killed but the
- boot sector information is never recovered. For your protection
- DISK COPY FAST will not accept a diskette if it has any doubt.
-
-
- This feature actually saved me twice. I believe it will save
- some of you too.

-
- 15. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
-
-
- 1. Q: After I made a copy using DISK COPY FAST I used DOS
- command DISKCOMP and it says that the two diskettes
- are not identical. What's wrong?
-
- A: If you turn Fast mode ON (default) DISKCOPY will only
- copy the portion of source diskette with useful data to
- target. The empty portion is not copied and this is
- what DISKCOMP complains about. If you don't like this
- for any reason, just turn the Fast mode OFF. Then every
- track will be copied and the whole diskette will be
- identical to the original.
-
- 2. Q: I just installed more extended memory in my computer
- but DISK COPY FAST still says that I don't have any.
-
- A: There are other requirements. See section 12 for details.
-
- 3. Q: My PC is slow. Can it achieve the same performance as
- described in this documentation?
-
- A: Testing results show that DISK COPY FAST can copy almost
- as fast on an 8088 as on 486. If you don't have enough
- memory and need to use hard disk instead make sure your
- hard disk is not too slow (transfer rate 200 KB/sec or
- better) and not overly fragmented.
-
- 4. Q: I have an old PC (or XT) can I use DISK COPY FAST on
- it?
-
- A: Yes. See answer to question 3.

- 17. INTRODUCING OTHER FINE PRODUCTS
-
-
- 17.1 DISK COPY PLUS
-
-
- "I really find your DISK COPY PLUS a very very fine program. It
- literally has saved me a lot of time copying diskettes."
- ----- one user, United States
-
-
- DISK COPY PLUS is the professional version of DISK COPY FAST.
- It includes all the features of DISK COPY FAST plus some
- advanced features.
-
-
- To many people, large quantity diskette duplicating means that
- you need to buy high-price copier. Not so any more. With DISK
- COPY PLUS you can assemble two low-end 286 PCs each equipped
- with up to four floppy drives at much lower price and achieve
- much higher copying speed. Not only do You get higher
- productivity, but also that you get two computers instead of a
- special purpose machine.
-
-
- DISK COPY PLUS is even better for you if you only need to copy
- a small quantity of the same source diskette every day.
- Consider the low cost, incredibly high speed (see section 10 in
- DCF45.DOC) and other powerful features (explained later), DISK
- COPY PLUS is hard to beat.
-
-
- One of the most powerful features of DISK COPY PLUS is
- customized hot keys. You define up to 10 hot keys according
- to your special needs.
-
-
- A feature similar to hot keys but requiring no keystrokes is
- the AUTOEXEC feature. You define what DISK COPY PLUS should do
- automatically when you run the program, just like AUTOEXEC.BAT
- does when you reboot your computer.
-
-
- For example, DISK COPY PLUS can be configured so that each
- time you type DCP at the DOS prompt it will read an image file,
- set up a serial number (explained later), define read/write
- options and then prompt for the target disk. You then insert
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 28
-
-
-
-
-
-
- the target into drive A:, close the door and it will start
- copying. After you have done with one format, at the press of
- one key it converts the source to another format, say, from
- 720KB to 360KB, and continue copying in another drive.
-
-
- In this example, it takes only two keystrokes (one to change
- format, another to quit.) to produce as many 360KB and 720KB
-
-
- target diskettes as you like. Each copy produced can have a
- unique serial number and each copy can be double checked with
- a BYTE-BY-BYTE comparison to make sure they are identical to
- the original, except for the serial number.
-
-
- This high degree of automation means that you can save time for
- more creative work, or you can hire someone who knows nothing
- about computers to do the copying for you.
-
-
- Another nice feature of DISK COPY PLUS is automatic serial
- number assignment. Some people like to change the disk serial
- number that DOS shows you when you use the DIR command. Other
- people like to imbed a unique serial number in their product.
- DISK COPY PLUS allow you to do either or both types of these
- serial numbers. In addition, it provides other tools to help
- you find and VERIFY the right location for imbedding serial
- numbers and show you the imbedded serial number on any
- duplicated diskette. This feature can be done automatically
- using the hot keys or AUTOEXEC features.
-
-
- DISK COPY PLUS also keeps track of serial number of EVERY
- image file for you so that you don't need to specify the
- serial number each time you run the program. It also keeps
- a log file for your diskette duplication. With a little
- editing (you add the distribution destination) the log file
- becomes a nice record of your diskette distribution.
-
-
- The power of DISK COPY PLUS keeps growing. Listed below are
- some other powerful commands.
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 29
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The DIAG command checks boot sector, file allocation table
- (FAT) and directory structure and provides reports for diskette
- usage and fragmentation.
-
-
- The CONVERT command convert diskette image from one format to
- another, so long as the data on original format can fit into
- the new format. For example, a 1.44 MB disk can be converted to
- 360 KB diskette if the data on the 1.44 MB disk does not exceed
- the total data space on a 360 KB diskette.
-
-
- The DEFRAG command performs defragmentation on a diskette. It
- does more than just sectors swapping. The entire diskette is
- checked thoroughly for any possible way of compaction. The
- result is a perfect with no waste of space and no fragmentation.
-
-
- The DUMP command lets you move around the loaded diskette at
- very high speed. You can use it to check the contents of a
- diskette or verify the imbedded location(s) of a serial number.
-
-
- DISK COPY PLUS also provides commands that allow you to see
- the directory of a diskette, image file or diskette loaded in
- memory.

- 17.2 DISK UTIL PACK
-
-
- "Your Disk Utility Package has many useful features. I was
- amazed by the copying speed of the F2H & H2F. They are time
- saving utilities. Great to use." ----- one user, Singapore
-
-
- DISK UTIL PACK is a collection of five high performance and
- useful diskette utility programs. For example, the author uses
- H2F every day for filling orders for DISK COPY FAST and related
- products.
-
-
- F2H (Floppy to Hard disk)
-
- A utility to copy a diskette to hard disk or RAM disk at very
- high speed. See the following table for benchmark results.
-
-
- H2F (Hard disk to Floppy)
-
- A utility to copy recursively from current directory on hard
- disk or RAM disk to a diskette at very high speed. This program
- combined with F2H is ideal for backing up a small directory.
- See the following table for benchmark results.
-
-
-
- H2F vs XCOPY F2H vs XCOPY
- --------------------------------------------------
- Case 1 (1.2MB) 8 vs 40 8 vs 17
- Case 1 (1.44MB) 9 vs 50 9 vs 19
- Case 2 (1.2MB) 9 vs 33 9 vs 18
- Case 2 (1.44MB) 8 vs 40 9 vs 19
-
- Note: (1) Case 1 contains 36 files and no sub directory.
- Case 2 contains 13 files in 21 sub directories.
- Total file size in both cases is about 300 KB.
-
- (2) Performance varies on different systems. The
- above benchmark results are provided as
- an example, NOT a guarantee.
-
- (3) The above results were measured with a RAM disk
- on a 33 MHz 386 compatible system.
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 31
-
-
-
- FMT
-
- A utility to format 360KB, 1.2MB, 720KB and 1.44MB diskettes.
- Features include no keyboard operation, serial number assignment,
- label assignment and bad sectors handling.
-
- You type the program name at DOS prompt to start and press the
- ESC key to end, no keystroke in between!
-
- The serial number and label can be assigned incrementally with
- a text file which stores the serial number and label for the
- next diskette to be formatted. You can keep more than one text
- file for this purpose. Before exit, FMT will update the file
- automatically.
-
- Conventionally, a cluster is marked as bad cluster if the
- formatting program fails to access after three tries. FMT,
- however, adopts a more strict policy to ensure that your
- valuable data won't be saved on places which are bad or about to
- turn bad. FMT will try three times too. The difference is that
- if FMT fails to access a sector in the first try it will mark
- the sector bad and tell you how many tries has failed.
-
-
- CLN
-
- A utility to make full use of cleaning kits sold by 3M, Memorex
- and other companies.
-
- Without CLN, all you can do is to use commands such as DIR to
- get the disk drive moving and bring head into contact with the
- cleaning disk and the cleaning solution on it. However, there
- are two problems that only CLN can help you.
-
- Firstly, how many DIR commands you need to keep typing to keep
- the disk head in contact with the cleaning disk for 30 to 60
- seconds? With CLN you only need to type CLN to start and press
- the ESC to end the process, no keystrokes in between. CLN also
- "reads" both sides of every "track" to make full use of your
- cleaning kit. Try CLN once and you will know how many keystrokes
- it can save for you.
-
- Secondly, since there is no data on the disk DOS will stop after
- it fails to access the first track. This means you may only be
- using 0.625% of the surface of your cleaning disk! (There are 80
- tracks on a high density drive. Each track has two sides and you
- are only using one side on the first track.)
-
-
-
- DISK COPY FAST Copyright 1992-1994 Chang Ping Lee page 32
-
-
-
-
-
-
- CLN not only forces your system to keep on "reading" different
- tracks on the cleaning disk and thus clean the head more
- thoroughly but also provides you simple and easy ways to verify
- that it does what it claims. Your will have the confidence that
- you give your diskette drive the best care possible.
-
-
- CHDK (CHeck DisKette)
-
- A utility which gives detailed information about a diskette. It
- shows you the information contained in the system area of the
- diskette, check the integrity of the system area, gives you
- detailed layout of system area, root directory and data area and
- then give you a report of the fragmentation on the diskette.
-
- The program also shows you other important or interesting
- information about a diskette. For example, it shows you the
- sectors, clusters and tracks with active data, maximum number of
- root directory entries.
-
- CHDK shows you lots of information packed in one screen.
