TYPE     Internal    External
                       ***

Purpose: Copy the contents of the source diskette to the target diskette
         COPY/PC works identically to the DOS command DISKCOPY
         unless an unrecoverable read error is encountered on the
         source diskette.
         DISKCOPY aborts the copy operation as soon as the error
         is encountered. COPY/PC continues to attempt to copy each
         and every track until all 40 tracks have been attempted.

         The target diskette will contain valid data from each and
         every  track which is error free. In addition, data contained
         in sectors prior to a defective sector on a given track will
         also be correctly copied to the target diskette. Any data
         contained in a defective sector or any subsequent sectors on
         the same track will not be correctly copied onto the target
         diskette.

                         NOTES

       1. Some copy protection schemes employ improperly formatted
          tracks and/or sectors on the supplied diskette. These tracks
          and/or sectors often contain no data but effectively prevent
          the DOS command DISKCOPY from copying the diskette. A
          diskette wuth this type of protection scheme can be
          successfully backed up by COPYPC.

       2. COPYPC can be used for recovering data from a diskette which
          has been damaged from wear, stray magnetism, scratches etc.
          While it won't recover data from the damaged sectors, it will
          recover data from tracks and partial tracks which are
          undamaged.

       3. COPYPC should be copied onto your DOS diskette. It can be
          used in place of DISKCOPY since it performs all of the same
          functions as DISKCOPY.
