Latest notes
1.08.22 is an upgrade to 1.08, which fixes most of the reported bugs.
1.09 is planned and the feature list is pretty much
complete. I just need the time to whip up a working version.
New features not found in 1.08
- Added option to not copy empty subdirectories (add '*' after /S)
New features not found in v1.07
- Command files (@filename) can now contain comments.
- Network copying to files fixed and printing to network printers added.
- OS/2-version handles Exteneded Attributes.
- CCopy can copy same source files to several destinations in one pass.
- CCopy can repeat a copy procedure several times. Useful for copying data from several disks.
- CCopy can now automatically recombine files files it has cleaved.
- Quiet and automatic operations mode added with option /Q+
- OS/2-version ported from Borland C++ to Visual Age.
- Command files (@filename) can now contain comments.
- The configuration utility can now be used to customize the progress indicators.
Bugs in v1.08
Bugs that are fixed in the newest version.
- Estimated time left printout routine fixed to avoid line overflows.
- Fixed a bug in system date retrieval, which broke the use of relative
dates in date selection's first field (/[d-2]).
- Added a Y2K pivot point at 80 (date 00-79 mean 2000-2079,
dates 80-99 mean 1980-1999).
- Corrected handling of '*.*' in a destination mask. Previously copied
files without extensions.
- All sizes are now displayed in binary Ks and Ms, instead of metric.
- Improved cyclic copy check so it detects paths with differing case.
- Trimmed the final summary information a bit.
- Corrected handling of peripherals - if NUL, COMn, LPTn or CON was
entered in lower case letters and with a colon after it, it would
not be detected.
Bugs in v1.07
Bugs that are fixed in the newest version.
- CCopy couldn't tell if two files without extensions would overwrite each other or not.
- File cleaving had problems in the registered version.
- File cleaving now accepts several source files.
- Letter selection did not recognize multiple choices.
- Several small mask handling bugs fixed.
- Empty subdirectories weren't copied before.
- OS/2-version did not copy directories that started with a colon.
- /S+ did not handle directories with extensions correctly.
- CCopy crashed in certain situations involving OS/2 and 4DOS descriptions. This was due to a bug in the old compiler, which has been abandoned.
- 4dos description files are now hidden when created.
- Cleaving and recombination has been fixed.
- OS/2-version uses OS/2 native error messages.
- Date and time ranges now work under Windows 95.
- Using quotes when 4dos is not running is no longer ignored.
- Zapping multiple disks did not work always due to OS-differences. Fixed.
- Help revised a bit.
- Option /V5 output corrected.
