The DOS/ProDOS Utilities (which we'll just call the Utilities) allow you to manipulate DOS 3.3 and ProDOS files and disks quickly and easily. The two Bit Copy programs can make backups of valuable software that has been copy-protected, as well as making fast reliable backups of unprotected disks. There are actually two disks in the Copy II Plus package: a 5.25" disk and a 3.5" disk. The 5.25" disk contains the Utilities and the 5.25" Bit Copy program. (There was not enough room on this disk to include the 3.5" Bit Copy program.) The 3.5" disk contains all three programs. The U tiUties With the Utilities, you can: Copy any 16 sector unprotected 5.25 inch disk Copy unprotected 3.5 inch disks Copy files Convert files between DOS and ProDOS formats Catalog a disk Catalog showing file lengths Catalog showing deleted files Delete files Delete all information from a disk Lock or unlock files Rename files Alphabetize the catalog 1 Copy II Plus Disk Utilities Format a disk Verify that the disk is readable Verify that files are readable Check disk drive speed View the contents of files See a map of what files are stored where on the disk Undelete files, to recover files that were accidentally deleted These options work with either DOS 3.3 or ProDOS disks. Because of the inherent differences between DOS and ProDOS, some additional options will work only with DOS disks, and some only with ProDOS disks. The options for DOS disks include: Copy DOS onto a disk Catalog showing any hidden control characters Delete DOS to free up more space for files Change the boot program on the disk The options for ProDOS disks include: View any or all subdirectories without having to type pathnames Rename a volume Create new subdirectories Most of the options listed above are for standard DOS 3.3 or ProDOS disks only. However, the utility options COPY DISK and VERIFY DISK can be used with any 16 sector unprotected disks, including DOS 3.3, ProDOS, SOS, CP1M, and Pascal format disks. Note for Apple /// users: Copy II Plus is designed to work only on Apple II series (or compatible) computers. However, Apple /// SOS stores files exactly like ProDOS. You can use the Copy II Plus Utilities on an Apple II to work with Apple /// SOS disks. 2 Chapter One: Introduction The Utilities can access ProDOS files stored on floppy disks, hard disks, RAMdisks, 3.5 inch disks, and any other ProDOS­ compatible "intelligent" disk devices.
