---------------------------------------------------------------- COPYING THE MASTER DISK ---------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you know a little DOS, be aware that the first step to accomplish with any disk of shareware is to copy your original diskette onto another blank formatted floppy. Then work with the copy and safely store the original just in case a problem arises, a file is deleted, or you accidentally copy other files over the shareware program diskette you need. It's a good idea to also put a write protect tab over the notch of the original disk before you use it so that data cannot accidentally be deleted.
