v1.0
46425c0
  • Remove bitcopy launchers and associated text and menu items. The utilities stand alone.
  • Remove printer support.
  • Don't format RAM disk on quit if we didn't actually find one.
  • PSPACE routine (used by all Catalog functions) and PUNDO0 (used by Undelete Files) calls READBM to read the entire volume bitmap into a variable length buffer. On a large enough hard drive, this buffer can grow to $2000 bytes and clobber the sector interleave tables that are initialized at startup at CODEADDR-$30. Clobbering the interleave tables makes all Copy Disk operations of floppy disks fail until the program is restarted and the interleave tables are reinitialized. This has been fixed by moving the bitmap buffer starting address down in memory.
  • Apple Superdrive device can enter a "permanently busy" state if you interrupt a long-running disk operation such as Format Disk. Once the device is in this state, all SmartPort API calls on the drive will fast-fail in a way that corrupts the stack, leading to crashes. This has been worked around by detecting the "perma-busy" state before issuing SmartPort API calls.
  • Fixed off-by-1 bug that ended up writing junk data at the end of the boot sector code on DOS-formatted floppy disks.
  • Treat CFFA3000 as a "removable" device, since the user can hot-swap mounted devices without rebooting. This enables single-slot disk copying of CFFA-controlled devices, with 'insert source'/'insert target' swap prompts.
  • Use lowercase for most strings, if available.
  • Add single-letter hotkeys to the main menu and submenus. Most are back-ported from v9.
  • Add support for selecting next matching slot or drive by number in the 'Select Device' list. Algorithm back-ported from v9.
  • Support Pronto-DOS disks in Change Boot Program. Sectors for startup program and filetype are offset by 2.
  • Add more recognized filetypes in catalog displays and file lists, mostly IIgs-related, including 4 back-ported from v9.
  • Change "[D]elete" to "[U]nmark" in Copy File list. [D] hotkey still works.
  • Change Quit menu to use "Select option:" submenu like other features.
  • Add "[M]-Enter Monitor" in Quit options. This was first implemented in v6.0 but never displayed.
  • If there were no prompts at program startup, the header was briefly displayed then cleared then displayed again. This has been fixed. Startup should be flicker-free in all cases.
  • No longer ask on startup if you want 80-column catalog displays. Catalog w/file lengths still uses 80 columns if available. Other catalog displays now use 40 columns.
  • No longer warn on startup about ProDOS 1.3. You should still upgrade ProDOS though. That is a very old version!
  • Rebranded as Copy ][ Reboot.
  • Distributed on a self-booting disk image with ProDOS 2.4.3 from https://prodos8.com/ and the universal ("jumbo") clock driver from https://github.com/a2stuff/prodos-drivers
