Welcome to XcopyIII version 1.0 --------------------------------- > Spread by PARADOX < --------------------------------- XcopyIII, its alive......... This version of XcopyIII is a update of XCOPY V 2.2 From Myself. Original concept written by Frank Neuhaus ,Cachet. Some bugs removed , and improvements made . This time the noexit-XcopyIII is updated and a exact duplicate of the startup XcopyIII , and memory avail is expanded and it can use all you got. For 512K users with one drive they have to switch disk 3 times instead of 2 . (Sorry!, use the original xcopy to obtain the 2 times switching) Bugs and improvements from V2.2 . ********************************* Bugs: Copy from ram to disk with Verify , went in an Guru some times , bug removed . Diskdrives had to stop before starting xcopy. bug removed . No Virus on bootblock , removed . Now formatting with a normal bootblock . (not really a bug ,but of no use,there's a lot of good virus killers out to stop'em ) Improvements: (Menu two) Erasedisk . Qformat . Verify note . (not in menu 2) High track 89 . (trk counter) Erasedisk: Deletes all information on disk . QFORMAT: Same as Format Quick in CLI, but faster . VERIFY . -------- When you copy with VERIFY, you get a message in lower menu , when a error appears and on which Drive number , can help you a lot when copying to multiply drives at same time!! . Highest trk . 89 ---------------- You can now select up to track 89 , if you have to ,mostly 5 1/4 drives can go up this track , 3 1/2 drives stops at track 83/84 . improvements in XcopyIII V1.0 ******************************* Note! A minor bug is in XcopyIII, if Xcopy cant find this TXT file in your parent dir it crashes after a while. This minor bug is here to protect my Copyrights, NOT Cachet's!!!. in Menu one. TwinCopy TwinCopy+ in Menu two. Init DF0-3 ZAPDISK+ XC config BUGS . *----* There was a bug in the 'Verify note' , it told which side of the drive there was an V error on , not which Drive . Sorry! Noexit-XcopyIII is updated and a exact duplicate of The startup XcopyIII. When you formatted a disk with no diskname written, it made a nondos disk. Bug fixed.. other Improvements. *-----------------* Frezze Mouse . *------------* By pressing Right mousebutton(again to release it) , you can frezze the mouse pointer, which result in no steering of mouse back to (START) if you by mistake touches the mouse while copying . ZAPdisk+ *------* With ZAPdisk+ you can delete diskinformation, its ten times faster than Erasedisk. Twincopy Twincopy+ *-------* Cachet's other great product ,Cyclone ,is put in XcopyIII, its called Twincopy. To use these two options you have to get a Cyclone HARDWARE addon. This copy utility is much better if you have to make a copy of originals. I think Syncro express is a product which is much to expensive and have a higher error percentage than Cyclone(Twincopy). Twincopy copies disks a little bit faster than DOSCOPY,DOSCOPY+. Use it wisely. XC config *-------* A earlier version of xcopy V2.1(by Cachet) had a new option , the Setup option. This option could be executed from the CLI. In my version you can choose this setup option from the menu, when you have choosen XC config, and pressed the start gadget, it saves a config is your S: dir when you exit XcopyIII. It loads this config file next time you start XcopyIII. If you decide not to save a config file, just press start again and it will be canceled. INIT DF0-3 *--------* This is a preview of a new function i think is good. If you forgot to turn of some of your drives, you can use this function to register them. Put a disk in the drives you want to use, including the one turned on, then press start, and the program will register the drives. Remember to turn them on before pressing (start).(the on/off switch, hehe!) Its a little bit slow , but works fine, maybe in a later version ill fix the processing speed. Note to Cachet. *************** As you properly can see this version is protected, and i think you know why........ When i found out that you released my program(half of it) without speaking with me first, your chances for recieving this to sell officially is near ZERO . It wasnt fair to release my version of xcopy with no sign of my name anywhere . I have released this version, unofficially, but it is properbly better this way ,you get your name out and i get some publicity, you get some more out of it, the bad ,no money for it ,the good , some publicity. You are welcome to use my ideas for your version of xcopy but this time you must work for it. Next time ,pay your programmers and they will cooperate with you. If you cant manage that ,its too bad... Do call, if you have some replies, sorry i had to do this way but your phone isnt working or maybe your company is closed ? Final note. *********** Note to registered users of xcopy, this version is better than xcopy V 2.3. Get you money back for your latest update (v2.3) , because its a fake.
