- Hello User of AngusCopy 2.0 !!
-
- What is AngusCopy 2.0 ?
- AngusCopy 2.0 is a Copyprogram. It copies a whole Disk in about 1:34 min
- (I know that this is not very fast, but this is written in Modula-2), and
- requires 2 Floppydrives, both 80 Tracks (I think). It has a complete
- Intuition User-Interface.
-
- Why should You use AngusCopy 2.0 instead of PCopy or so ?
- Because it is fully multi-taskable ! While AngusCopy is running, but not
- copying, you can use your drives normally, that is a really advantage.
- The second thing is, that my version of PCopy (2.0 or so) does not work
- correct.
- For the third, with AngusCopy 2.0 you can copy only parts of a disk, by
- changing the Start- and Endtrack.
-
- What is the big mess of AngusCopy 2.0 ?
- Let`s say you want to copy a disk (haha). You start AngusCopy and insert
- a Disk in df0: as source and another disk in df1: as destination.
- If these disks have the same name or are completely the same,
- AngusCopy copies them correctly, but if you remove these disks, your
- Amiga crashes (you now cannot enter somthing or move the mouse).
- I feel sorry about this, but I do not know what to do against this effect.
-
- What does AngusCopy 2.0 copy ?
- AngusCopy 2.0 uses the TrackDisk.device for copying Disks. Therefore it
- copies only standard AmigaDOS Disks. Perhaps it will copy some other
- formats, too, but I don`t know.
-
-
- Errors of AngusCopy 2.0
- I know only one error:
- If you copy a Disk that has the same name as your Destinationdisk
- (or is completely the same as your Dest.-disk) your Amiga crashes after
- copying (however, you have a normal copy). I do not care about this,
- because I normally do not copy such a disk. Also I think that this is
- perhaps an error of DOS, because DOS cannot handle two (or more) disks
- which are completely the same.
- If you detect other bugs, send me a letter with a bug-report.
- I will perhaps (If I like & can) fix it.

- How to use AngusCopy 2.0.....
- 1.) Startup:
- Double-click the Icon or run from CLI or Shell.
- 2.) The Window:
- There are 2 rows of 4 gadgets, with the upper row you choose the
- Sourcedrive, with the lower row you choose the Destinationdrive.
- The Drivenumber will be displayed on the left of the 2 rows.
- You can only choose 1 Source- and 1 Destinationdrive.
- On the right of the window are two Integergadgets. You can enter
- the Starttrack in the upper gadget and the Endtrack in the lower
- gadget. Make sure that you enter numbers that make sense.
- (however, AngusCopy will not copy from Track -3 to Track 99 for
- example)
- The Start-Gadget will start the copying of a disk, and the About-
- Gadget will pop up a window which contains some information about
- me and AngusCopy 2.0 . You leave this window by clicking the
- Close-Gadget.
- 3.) Copy a disk:
- Insert a disk in your Destinationdrive and in your Sourcedrive.
- Click the Start-Gadget. If a fatal error happens, there will pop
- up a window "Fatal Error". The kind of error will be explained.
- IF the explanation is "There is s.th. wrong with your XXdrive",
- then the drive is of a bad type or not connected or so. You leave
- this window by clicking the Close-Gadget.
- If no fatal error happens, you will read "Copying..." on the top
- of the AngusCopy window. If a "normal" error will happen, a window
- pops up and will explain the error. Now you can choose between
- "Skip Track" and "Cancel Copy". "Skip Track" means that AngusCopy
- will not copy the Track (its number is displayed). "Cancel Copy"
- stops the copying of the disk.
- If everything is o.k., then you will read "Ready" after 1 minute
- and 35 seconds on the top of the window. Now make sure that you
- remove the disks before you leave AngusCopy.
- (This is a serious warning !!)
- 4.) Leave AngusCopy:
- Remove the disks you have copied !!!
- Now click on the Close-Gadget of the AngusCopy window.
