ZIPCOPY.COM                                         Version 1.1
        ===========                                       (November 2003)


        Tool for copying complete palmZIP(R)-partitions within a disk.
        The partition assigned to the destination drive will be over-
        written.



        Requirements
        ------------

        - DOS 3.x or older
          (No joke, because with DOS 4.x, the DOS-Interrupts 25h, 26h
           were changed)

        - approx. 36 KByte RAM,
          (16 KByte copy buffer, 16 KByte compare buffer)

        - at least 2 drive letters must have been created by
          palmZIP/PofoZip



        New in this release
        -------------------

        Bugfix: Version 1.00 sometimes did not copy all clusters



        Usage
        -----


        Syntax:   ZIPCOPY X: Y: [/V]

                  X  = source drive
                  Y  = destination drive
                  /V = Verify (optional)

        Example:  ZIPCOPY D: E: /V


        The specified drive letters must have been created by PALMZIP.SYS
        or POFOZIP.SYS and correspond to either 32M/FAT12-partitions or
        32M/FAT16-partitions.

        The program analyzes the File Allocation Table (FAT) and copies
        all used clusters from one partition to another. The number of
        free and allocated clusters on both the source and destination
        drive will be displayed before the copy process actually starts.
        All numbers are displayed in hex format:

        Example:
                    ZIPCOPY 1.1  (c) 1998-2003 Klaus Peichl
                    ---------------------------------------
                                 drive   Part   Clusters
                                 letter  1..3  used  free
                    Source:        D:     1    02DF  0D0F
                    Destination:   F:     3    004A! 0FA4
                    ---------------------------------------
                    <ESC> = Cancel             <ENTER> = OK

        The exclamation mark next to the number of allocated clusters on
        the destination partition indicates that some data will be lost.
        It does not appear if the destination partition is empty.

        After pressing the Enter-key, the copy process finally starts.
        The FATs and the root directory are transferred first, followed
        by the data clusters. Data is being read and written in portions
        of cluster pairs. Depending on the FAT type, this corresponds to
        16 KByte (32M/FAT12) or 4 KByte (32M/FAT16).

        A status line informs about the number of the cluster being
        currently transferred and the exact action taking place
        (R=Read, W=Write, V=Verify).
        Any error will be immediately displayed and the number of errors
        is reported at the very end.
        The program can be aborted by pressing <CTRL>+<BREAK>, but this
        will generally result in corrupt data because not all files
        from the directory are actually present.


        Note:

        The volume label of the destination partition will normally be
        restored after the root directory has been copied.
        However, the following situations prevent ZIPCOPY from doing so:
        1. If the source partition has no lable, the destination
           partition will also get none.
        2. The source partition label will be copied, if the destination
           partition had no name.
