DISKCOPY
Back up any format disks with this intelligent
utility which formats as it copies
DiskCopy is a fairly straightforward utility for copying standard and
non-standard, but not copy protected disks. Using special formatters you can
create disks in a variety of ways, such as single or double sided, 80 or 81
tracks, 9 or 10 sectors. Copying from the GEM desktop restricts you to just 80
tracks, 9 sectors per track, single or double sided and you can't copy anything
else.
DiskCopy is an intelligent program that looks at the source disk to see how
it is formatted. It then formats the destination disk in the same way and
copies the data across so you end up with an exact duplicate of the original.
It requires 1Mb of RAM so it won't run on a 520ST, and if you have a 1040ST
don't install too many desk accessories otherwise you won't have enough
memory.
HARDWARE: All STs, 1Mb RAM.
