                  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.

How to use Double Image for Windows:

     To start Double Image for Windows enter a source and
     destination directory in the dialog box. Choose other
     options, such as copy subdirectories, and file dates.
     
     Please refer to HELP for more specific information.  It
     is a good idea to use the LOG facility of Double Image
     for Windows.  You can tell Double Image for Windows to
     use an editor or list program of your choice.  By
     default NOTEPAD (comes with Windows 3.1) will be used,
     but it does not hold very much log information.
     

New Information not covered in the manual:

     When using Windows with Adaptec ASPI4DOS.EXE, some
     users experience problems with their SCSI card when the
     SYSTEM.INI file, TimerCriticalSection variable is
     something other than 0.  If you are having intermittent
     problems with SCSI drives or devices, setting
     TimerCriticalSection=0 may help.  Please contact
     Adaptec concerning these difficulties, they may have an
     updated driver or be able to offer technical support
     with SCSI cards.

     12-27-97  Revision 2.20.00
          -Ensured that date ranges work for years later
          than 1999.
          
          -In the DOS version, the program will not stop
          on files that are in use.  A note is made in the
          log of the un-copied file and the program continues.
          
     07-19-95  Revision 2.10.08
          Made changes to allow to work under Win-OS2
          and DOS-OS/2.

     09-21-94  Revision 2.10.07
          Fixed a problem when permission denied occured on
          the destination.  The  file was skipped okay, but
          the source file was not ever closed.
          Fixed problem with Pegasus disk change using a
          single drive.
          Fixed problem with Pegasus read only files.
          (Introduced in 2.10.06)
          Fixed bug where all error messages displayed `No
          space left on device.'  The correct error messages
          are displayed now. (Introduced in 2.10.06)
          Fixed bug copying locked files.
     
     08-08-94  Revision 2.10.06
          Fixed bug where if /C disk change was specified on
          the command line before /R use swap file, Double
          Image would not work.  This bug was in the DOS
          product only.
     
     08-08-94  Revision 2.10.06
          Fixed bug where Double Image, on WORM drives,
          would 1) Write a file, 2) Set Date/Time of file,
          3) Set attributes.  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.
