Ed Marion, General Mgr. of EZX Publishing, announced the latest release of EZ-DiskCopy PRO. Originally developed for EZX Publishing's own in-house use, the program was released to the PC community in order to help out other publishers, software duplication houses, MIS departments, etc. Now, these users to not have to rely on outside duplication services, or be confused by the variety and high cost of dedicated disk duplication equipment. In one neat package, EZ-DiskCopy PRO handles all popular 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch formats (including 360K, 720K, 1.2M, 1.44M, etc., if proper drive type is available), and is just about as fast as the dedicated duplicators, only safer. Simply put, no more bad disks going out to anyone. Other features include: Copies even 1.2M and 1.44M floppies easily with a single drive (hard drive or EMS/Extended memory required for excess data spooling); can serialize disks for publishing use; can print serialized labels at the same time unique serial numbers are embedded on copied disks; can print serial numbers later ("offline"); records ant plays back disk images (optionally compressed) to hard drive for storage and quick future retrieval; flags even marginal disks with special routines; partial format ant preformat flags speed the copying process even further; format only, Proprietary AQI (adaptive quality index) modifies diskette writing techniques based on media quality; Synchronous and Chain copying for even more thruput; Copy/Image Compare for ultimate verification, pulldown menus, online help, plus more ... Mr. Marion states: "It is like having your own diskette duplication house on your desk. And when you're done duplicating disks, you still have a computer for other jobs." "This product is not simply a replacement for DOS' DISKCOPY command. EZ-DiskCopy PRO literally takes over the machine it is running on and turns it into a dedicated duplicator with advanced features." "We simply got tired of the marginal service provided by most of the duplication houses we tried. The setup and turn around time was killing us. We looked at, and even tried some, dedicated hardware duplicators. But they were very expensive, and we still had to check each disk to be sure. We also had to serialize disks manually in our own machines. So, we developed our own method for producing, serializing, printing labels, and checking disks, all in one quick operation. Now one person could easily operate up to 10 computers with no problem. That is over 600 diskettes per hour "100% formatted, copied, verified and serialized with zero defects to the customer!" "Need more speed? No problem: Just add inexpensive clone computers to do the job you need." "These features make EZ-DiskCopy PRO a truly exciting product. The target market is any business or individual that copies large batches of diskettes, either occasionally, or routinely. Our philosophy is to provide an easy-to-use program for only $795, that is licensed for use on up to 10 machines or one LAN server at a single location! (Other licenses are available.) Thus you can temporarily put most of the machines in your office to work on a big or rush job without any additional cost. We estimate that under typical conditions, EZ-DiskCopy PRO can save users thousands of dollars (versus dedicated duplicators), and get many more capabilities as well." EZX Publishing also markets an entire "EZ Series" of software, including EZ-FORMS DataBase and EZFORMS Executive, etc. in both LAN and non-LAN versions.
