=KOPYIT is an easy to use disk duplicating program designed to eliminate
=swapping floppy disks numerous times for each disk you want copied.
=KOPYIT makes an "exact" duplicate of the original source diskette,
=much like DOS's diskcopy command, only faster.
=  
=Move the lightbar to the top menu item titled ~Exact Copy~.
=Place the SOURCE disk in your drive and use the arrow keys {or mouse} to
=move the lightbar to the drive letter you wish to duplicate. Press ENTER
=or "Click" the left mouse button to begin. You will be prompted for the
=number of copies you want. For 1 copy press the ENTER key or enter any
=number from 1 to 99.  KOPYIT will prompt you when to place the DESTINATION
=disk in the drive. The SOURCE and DESTINATION disks MUST be formated the
=same.  If you originally chose to make only 1 copy but decided to make more,
=you can.  When the last copy is done you will be asked to make more, If you
=do place another DESTINATION disk in the drive and press ENTER or press the
=ESC key to exit.
=  
=Make as many copies as you need. Until you are through with this session
=KOPYIT saves the last SOURCE disk information in an SWAP FILE named,
=TEMP.CPY.  Upon exiting the program, this file is erased.  When you make
=a disk image, KOPYIT will prompt you to save this file for future use.
=If you choose "yes" you can enter a name for the file and it will be
=compressed by "LHA".  You can later "open" (expand) this file for copying.
=You will also be allowed to enter a description of the contents of the
=disk image file.  You can enter a single line or a 10 page report, it's 
=up to you.
=  
=At any time after making a disk image you can choose "save" from the file
=menu.  The disk image is "always" compressed to save you disk space.
=  
=After you have already made one copy, choosing "Copy last Disk" from the
=main menu lets you go back and make more copies of the last disk.
=  
=Choosing "Setup" from the main menu allows you to:
=  
=1) Ask DOS to verify all writes to disk. Using verify is much slower.  
=   KOPYIT uses an internal verification that is very accurate.  You 
=   choose the level of protection you want.  
=  
=2) Choose to turn the warning sound on or off.
=  
=3) Prompt before overwriting a disk that contains files.  If you turn
=   this option off then be very careful that you have the correct
=   destination disk in the drive to be copied to.  Any data on this
=   disk will be overwritten.
=  
=  
=From the "Utilities" menu you can:
=  
= ▄ Colors 
= ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
=Change the colors of the Desk Top from the pull down menus to to the 
=main screen body. Select this option and then choose the part of the 
=Desk Top you wish to change from a menu list.  You will then be shown 
=a "color selecter" to use.  Move the window with your mouse or the 
=arrow keys to the color you want and press the ENTER key or click on 
=the "Done" button.  Pressing the ESC key or right mouse button quits 
=the color picker.  If you have a monitor capable of supporting "bright" 
=background colors then pressing the spacebar will give you another set of
=of colors to choose from.
=  
= ▄ Save 
= ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
=Your colors will be shown just as soon as you change them but will not 
=be available the next time you start KOPYIT unless you use this option 
=to save the new colors to a disk file.  This file will be saved as 
="KD.INI" and will also contain the information as to whether to ask DOS 
=to verify all disk writes.  Should you ever wish to put everything back 
=into the default settings then choose "Restore Defaults" from the
="Utilities" menu.
=  
=The actual disk copying routine is separate from this menu and reads this
=file for it's colors, so if you change colors in the menu without saving 
=them the copying routine will not be able to update it's new colors.
=  
= ▄ Format 
= ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
=Calls DOS to format your floppy disks.  All you need to know is the drive 
=letter and whether you are using hi or low density disks.  DOS will 
=perform an unconditional format, which means the disk cannot be unformated.  
=Make sure that you are using a disk that does not have data on it that you 
=may need later.
=  
=          360K and 720K are lo-density
=          1.2M and 1.44M are hi-density
;=          2.88M is extra hi-density  ( Requires DOS v6.0 or later )

=Copies files (excluding: subdirectories) from one floppy disk drive to 
=another.  Kopyit will attempt to copy all archive, hidden, read only, & 
=system files.  For other than archive (normal) files the source disk 
=must not be write protected.  This is not a diskcopy.

= ▄ COPY B drive to B drive 
= ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
=Copies files (excluding: subdirectories) from one floppy disk drive to
=a subdirectory on your hard drive. You will then be prompted to place the 
=destination disk in the drive.  This is useful for copying from one size 
=disk to another, using the same drive.  Kopyit will attempt to copy all 
=archive, hidden, read only, & system files.  For other than archive 
=(normal) files the source disk must not be write protected.  This is not 
=a diskcopy.
=  
=Hint: To copy a disk that has subdirectories on it use the "Run a DOS
=command" below.  Type in the command: XCOPY A:\*.* B: /E /V
=  
=Type the command in the same format as it is shown.  Substitute the 
=correct drive letter in the above command for A: and B: where the first 
=drive is the source disk and the second is the destination disk.  The /E 
=switch copies all subdirectories (even if empty) and the /V (optional) 
=asks DOS to verify all writes to disk.
=  
= DOS Commands:
=  
= ▄ Date

=Prompt DOS to set the system date

=Prompt DOS to set the system time
=  
= ▄ Set Disk Serial Number 
= ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
=Beginning with DOS version 4.0 a unique number made up of the current
=date and time is inserted onto the diskette at the time the media is
=formatted.  This number is always converted to the hexadecimal number
=system.  With this option you can set your own unique serial number onto
=a master disk.  Each time you use this function the serial number is
=incremented by 1.  You will be given the hexadecimal conversion of your
=number.  Write this onto the master diskette label.  This function does
=not work on network drives.
=  
= ▄ Set Disk Volume Label

=Use up to eleven characters to enter your own unique "label" onto a master
