TRIVIA

For users who are updating from Copy II Plus Version 4, here is a brief summary of the major differences in Version 5:

1) Version 5 requires 64K of memory, rather than 48K.

2) The Copy II Plus disk is now a standard DOS 3.3 disk, and can be copied using the COPY DISK option or any normal copy program. The Bit Copy program can copy more disks than before, and does "nibble counting" more reliably.

3) An AUTO COPY feature has been added to the Bit Copy program. Rather than entering parameters from the Backup Book by hand, just select the program you want to copy from the "parameter entry" list. Copy II Plus fills in the parameters for you. It will even do sector editing automatically.

4) A SECTOR COPY option has been added to the Bit Copy program. This copies the protected programs which used to be copied with the COPY DISK option from the utilities.

5) COPY DISK is more reliable and requires fewer passes to copy a disk. On an Apple IIe with 128K of memory or an Apple IIc, the entire disk is copied in two passes. It does not copy protected disks any more. Use the SECTOR COPY option from the Bit Copy program instead.

6) The ALPHABETIZE CATALOG option has been added.

7) The Sector Editor is much more sophisticated yet easier to use. You can edit absolute sectors on the disk, or follow a file sector by sector. Other features include disassembly, scanning the disk or a file for a pattern of bytes, and making specific changes to the read/write routines for accessing many protected disks. Positioning the cursor to a specific address is simpler.

8) Filenames and commands can now be entered using either upper or lower case characters. Up and down arrow keys can be used (as well as the left and right arrow keys) for scrolling through menus.
