INFORMATION ABOUT 2-1541-BACKUP..THIS PR
OGRAM MAKES A BACKUP COPY OF A DISK USIN
G TWO 1541 DISK.DRIVES. THE PROGRAM IS
A MODIFICATION OF THE POPULAR SINGLE.DRI
VE ("GAS TANK") BACKUP PROGRAM. THE TWO
-DRIVE VERSION IS.MUCH EASIER TO USE, SI
NCE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SWITCH TWO DISKS.B
ACK AND FORTH IN THE SAME DRIVE. THERE
ARE ONLY THREE.QUESTIONS THE PROGRAM WIL
L ASK. FIRST, THE PROGRAM ASKS YOU TO.T
YPE EITHER B FOR "BAM-SELECT" OR D FOR "
DIRECT" BACKUP. .ORDINARILY, YOU WOULD T
YPE B AND HIT RETURN. THIS TELLS THE.PR
OGRAM TO COPY ONLY THOSE BLOCKS ON THE D
ISK THAT ARE IN USE. .THE D COMMAND IS U
SED TO COPY THE ENTIRE DISK, EVEN THOSE
BLOCKS.THAT ARE INDICATED TO BE UNUSED.
AN EXAMPLE OF A REASON FOR.USING THIS C
OMMAND IS IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DELETED A
FILE AND.WANTED TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY BE
FORE TRYING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE..AT ANY
RATE, THE SECOND AND THIRD QUESTIONS YO
U WILL BE ASKED.ARE THE DISK NAME AND DI
SK ID FOR THE NEW ("DESTINATION") DISK.
.THE PROGRAM TELLS YOU TO PUT THE DESTIN
ATION DISK INTO DRIVE 9. .YOU DO SO AND
HIT RETURN. FROM THEN ON, THE PROGRAM D
OES THE.REST...THE PROGRAM USES DISK DRI
VE 8 FOR THE OLD DISK AND DRIVE 9 FOR.TH
E NEW COPY. IT IS CRUCIAL TO PUT THE RI
GHT DISK IN THE RIGHT.DRIVE. TO BE SAFE
, IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO COVER THE WRITE-P
ROTECT.NOTCH ON THE OLD DISK. OTHERWISE
, THE PROGRAM MAY START.REFORMATTING THE
OLD DISK, DESTROYING ALL INFORMATION ON
IT..
