  Quick startup info:

  EZ-Copy Lite is a diskette duplication program which lets you,  the  user,
  mass  produce  diskettes  quickly and easily.   It  allows you  to read  a
  diskette once  and  then  make as many copies  as you want.   EZ-Copy Lite
  supports all standard 5 1/4 inch low density formats. The standard formats
  are:  160K, 180K, 320K, and 360K.

  To copy a diskette  use the Copy pulldown off the main menu.   Insert  the
  diskette you would like to copy.  Next tell EZ-Copy Lite where you put the
  diskette by pressing 1 for drive A: or 2 for drive B:.  Your diskette will
  be loaded into memory.  Take out your master source diskette and place the
  diskette  you  would like to make the copy  on  into a drive,  it  doesn't
  matter which drive.  Now it is time to tell EZ-Copy Lite to make the copy.
  Press A to make the copy in drive A: or B for drive B:.  EZ-Copy Lite will
  automatically format  your floppy  if it isn't already formatted.   Repeat
  this step to make as many copies as you want.   Isn't it nice not to  have
  to reload your source diskette each time?

  Refer to other sections of the On-Line Manual for additional  information.

  1. Will  EZ-Copy Lite (EZCL)  duplicate  copy protected  diskettes?    No.
     EZCL  will only  duplicate  unprotected diskettes  with no bad sectors.

  2. Why does EZCL require 640K of RAM?   EZCL holds an entire 360K diskette
     in memory  allowing  you to make multiple copies  without  reading  the
     source diskette for each copy.   Total RAM used is 360K  (for in memory
     diskette) + 128K (for EZCL) + 80K (for DOS 4.0) = 568K.

#100#

  EZ-Copy Lite  allows  you to read an entire diskette into memory and  then
  make  as many copies as you  want  without  reading  the  master  diskette
  again.   To  do  this it must retain an image of the  master  diskette  in
  memory.  This  image  can take up to 360K of  storage space.   That is the
  major reason EZ-Copy Lite requires 640K RAM for operation.

  EZ-Copy Lite  outperforms  DOS's diskcopy both in speed  and in safety  of
  the  operation.   EZ-Copy  Lite speeds up the access  times of  your  disk
  drive allowing  quicker  reads and writes.   It also verifys the  copy  by
  checking the CRC written to the diskette during the copy process.

  When making a copy,  EZ-Copy Lite  (unless told otherwise) will check  the
  diskette to see if it is already formatted  and  then proceed either  with
  the copy or the format and copy.  Just feed it diskettes, you  don't  need
  to worry about the destination diskette.  Nothing could be easier!

  System requirements:  An IBM PC or totally compatible clone,  640K of RAM,
                        and IBM PC DOS version 3.0 or later.   EZ-Copy  Lite
                        should work with any version of MS DOS 3.0 or  later
                        but has not been tested with all the possible MS DOS
                        versions.

  Notes:  EZ-Copy Lite (EZCL) is a fast,  safe,  and  easy to  use  diskette
          duplication program.   Pull down menus,  context  sensitive  help,
          on-line manual, and multiple copies per read are supported.
                                                                            
          Times may change as we continue to improve  EZ-Copy Lite.   Please
          note that  the faster your computer,  the  more  EZ-Copy Lite  out
          performs IBM PC DOS.

          EZ-Copy Lite  can make mutiple copies per read.   Diskcopy  can't.
          EZ-Copy Lite far out performs PC DOS Diskcopy  for mutiple copies!
#201#

  The machines used for testing:

  *    IBM PC running an 4.77 MHz 8088 with 1 memory wait state
  **   Zenith Z248 running an 8 MHz 80286 with 1 memory wait state
  ***  IBM PC AT running an 10 MHz 80286 with 1 wait state (factory 6 MHz)

  The above times are affected by the DOS version, both by its revision and
  its source (IBM, Compaq, etc).   Any small change  in your  hardware  may
  throw off the timing of EZ-Copy Lite.  Memory resident programs slow down
  EZ-Copy Lite and may drastically (up to 50%) slow  the  disk  operations.
  Even such a small thing as displaying the track number while copying took
  many hours of work to speed up to  where it didn't slow down  operations.

  All tests were run with IBM PC DOS with no memory resident programs.   If
  your timing tests show results radically different from the above figures
  please  write us  with the figures.  If  you  did better we  will  praise
  EZ-Copy Lite, if you did worse we will try to find something to blame  it
  on.
