║ DISK COPY FAST v4.5 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
Minor enhancement and bug fix, nothing major.
-> Video and mouse routines enhanced.
-> Floppy and auto-sensing routines enhanced.
-> Fix a bug in file manager. V4.4 has problem accessing image
files on network drives.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.4 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Miniature file manager has been added for accessing image files.
-> Command line help is available now. Type "DCF /?" to get help.
-> Separate options without space in between is accepted. For
example, DCF /c-/m
-> Fixed several minor bugs.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.3 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> enhanced working under multitaskers such as OS/2 and Windows.
Now DCF can copy in the background.
-> max path length for images files increased to 79.
-> ask for confirmation before overwriting image file.
-> fix a problem when restoring video attribute before exit.
-> fix a problem under Phoenix BIOS.
-> reward for reporting piracy (See DCF43.DOC for details.)
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ DISK COPY FAST v4.2 ║
╚══════════════════════════╝
-> Fix a problem when executed under OS/2.
-> Enhance error handling. When backup or producing multiple
targets and a bad disk is encountered, v4.2 allows you to
replace the disk and continue the operation.
-> Reset video mode and color before exit.
-> Several minor changes.
╔══════════════════════════╗
║ 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.
