Double Image for Windows 3.x and OS/2-WIN Januay 1998 This release is Year 2000 ready - Double Image for Windows is a copy program designed to backup optical disks. Double Image for Windows uses a special method for copying files This can save disk space and time. Double Image for Windows is easy to use. This release of Double Image for Windows requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or Newer, running in 386 Enhanced Mode. The computer should have enough memory to allow programs to run without slowing down. When copying with only one drive, Double Image for Windows will make at least two passes with each source and destination disk. Therefore, if you are using a removable floppy drive for both the source and destination drive, then you are required to insert and remove the source and destination floppy two times. The first pass reads in file names, dates, and other attributes, and the second pass copies the actual data. This is much faster than reading and writing all data on each pass like most other copy programs, especially if you are just freshening files from one disk to another. Installing Double Image for Windows: To install Double Image for Windows place the Installation disk in your floppy drive. From Program Manager, choose FILE, then RUN. Type the letter of the floppy drive, a colon, and `SETUP': A:SETUP Follow the directions given by the setup program.

Please refer to HELP for more specific information. It is a good idea to use the LOG facility of Double Image for Windows.

Step 2) and 3) caused a lot of disk space to be used up for directory entries. Now Double Image combines step 1 and 2, and gives the user the choice of setting attributes or copying files with hidden and system attributes set(step 3). New attribute options are: /Aa Copy archive bit /Ar Copy read-only bit New file copy options are: /Fh Copy hidden files /Fs Copy system files The main screen has been updated to reflect more attribute options.
