* DVCopy 1.01 - Changes/Fixes from 0.99:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

+ You can now setup DVCopy to overwrite or not to overwrite files when
copying or moving.

- DSETUP's menu seemed to blink all the time. Fixed.

+ DSETUP is now even more well-behaved under DESQview than ever. It
gives around 98% of its time-slice back to DESQview, when idle.

+ {+} Registered-Only feature: Specifying the /M command-line,
anywhere on the command line, will cause DVCopy to move files, and
not copy them. DVCopy will move 4DOS description with files
themselves, if feature is enabled. It will also use fast-move (FAT
change) when move is done within the same drive.
THIS FEATURE WILL NOT WORK FOR UNREGISTERED USERS.

+ {+} Registered-Only feature: Progress Indicator can be used. If
enabled, DVCopy will show you running figures, that represent the
precent of copy that has already been done.
THIS FEATURE WILL NOT WORK FOR UNREGISTERED USERS.

+ It is now possible to override default protection level, using the
command line parameter /n (n = protection level), anywhere on the
command-line.

- Fixed cases when DVCopy did not recognize DOS's 'Data CRC error',
and invalid floppy-disk changes.

- DVCopy did not work properly when copying files to '\'. fixed.



* DVCopy 0.99 - Changes/Fixes from 0.50:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

- The annoying bug that caused tons of people to have 0-sized files
copied is fixed.

- DVCopy did not parse well dest. directory name, that ended with
backslash (i.e. DVCOPY A:. D:\SUBDIR\). Now it does...

+ {+} Registered-Only Feature: DVCopy can optionally now copy the
4DOS/NDOS Description of the files together with the files
themselves, just like 4DOS/NDOS would of done with their internal
COPY. This feature will be disabled on unregistered versions of
DVCopy.



* DVCopy 0.50 - Changes/Fixes from 0.20á:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ

+ External configuration added, to allow setting default parameters.
Configurable parts are Sharing-Under-DV, Sharing-OutSide-DV and
Floppy protection level. Configuration can also integrity check
DVCopy, install registration key, and print registration form.

+ You can now set DVCopy's performance (how much power will it give to
DESQview). This parameter is called 'Floppy Protection Level', and
can be defined from either configuration or DOS Environment Variable
'DVCOPY'.

+ You can now specify target file name, and not only directory. Also,
supports target file name that contains wildcards.

- DVCopy will try to recover from non-fatal errors in opening files,
and continue to next file - if any.

- DVCopy will no more ignore cases where disk is already full, and
will not continue write 0-sized files.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
