or by using its icon from Workbench !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOURCE & To set the SOURCE- and TARGET-drive
TARGET: you only have to choose the disksymbol on the left !
`0` means DF0: `1` means DF1: !
UPPER SIDE & Every track by a disk will be presented as a box !

To set a track on or off you must select it with the mouse !
Follow options helps by setting the tracks...

This is much faster !

FORMAT: Format a disk in TARGET drive !
QFORMAT: If you want to format a DOS disk, it must not
worked the whole disk !
QFORMAT installs a new bootblock and formats track 40 !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip: If you want to write a bootblock from one disk to another,
use following...
Take disk with bootblock in TARGET drive !
Start option BLOCK EDIT !
Answer blocknumber with 0 !
Take disk without bootblock in TARGET drive !
Choose SAVE !
Now the bootblock should be installed on disk !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imprtant: AMOSCopy V1.0a needs the Diskfont.Library in folder LIBS
on bootdisk !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: AMOSCopy V1.0a is my first Shareware program !
If you use it regular or take some routines from
the AMOS-code, please send me what you want !
As example a postcard with greetings or any else !
( This would be a very honorable gesture ! Thanks ! )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, that`s all !
I hope that AMOSCopy V1.0a will meet something !
Good bye
