Installing DIRCOPY is simple... 
                      (a) unzip the downloaded file (already done)
                      (b) either , put DIRCOPY.EXE in your DOS directory,
                         or,
                      (c) create a new directory called Dircopy, and
                      (d) put this directory in your PATH statement.

      NOTE : If you wish to print this document file enter,

             at the DOS prompt.

.h  ͼ

To execute the program, just enter 'dircopy' at the DOS prompt.
Using DIRCOPY is a breeze being that it is completely menu driven. The main
screen consists of 4 'main' selections plus 2 auxilliary selections.

The main selections are:
                        [1] Format Floppies
                        [2] Set-Up
                        [3] Copy
                        [4] Quit

The auxilliary selections are:
                        [H] Help
                        [A] About
                        [S] Sound On/Off 

As there is more help from within the program and the fact that these
selections are all self explanatory I will give a cursory description here:

.r[1] Format Floppies 

   Walks you through that most boring of all DOS headaches. Just answer
   the on screen prompts and it's done before you know it. 

       NOTE : It is impossible to format your hard drives with this
              utility so in a sense it is even safer than so called
              SAFE FORMAT utilities. So if you need just a 
              simple floppy format, use this utility instead!!!


.r[2] Set-Up

   Specifies the source and destination for your copying. Also asks you
   whether you want all subdirectories copied ,whether you want to be
   prompted before each write ,and/or whether you want each file verified
   after it is written.
      
      NOTE : You MUST specify source and destination paths before 
             executing the Copy menu selection.


.r[3] Copy

   Begins by verifying your source and destination paths, then it asks
   whether you wish to begin the copy process. When done, it notifies you
   that it has completed and waits for a keypress.


.r[4] Quit

   The fast exit at it's finest.


.r[H] Help

   On-line help is available by selecting this option. A list of topics
   is displayed. Choose the topic you need help on and it will be
   displayed for you.


.r[A] About
