ProCOPY is an IBM PC program (not an Apple II program) that can copy files
from a 3.5" 1.44M ProDOS diskette to an MS-DOS disk.  It cannot copy files
from an 800K ProDOS diskette.  The 1.44M ProDOS diskette must be created
on an Apple SuperDrive attached to one of the new Apple II 3.5 Disk
Controller cards.

This program was written using Microsoft QuickC 2.5.

This documentation describes ProCOPY 1.2.  See file PROCOPY.UPD for the
changes made from previous versions.

NOTE:  This program will only read from a ProDOS diskette, it will NEVER
write to the diskette.

This program is very simple.  When run it will look for a 1.44M drive on the
PC and ask for the ProDOS diskette to be inserted.  Pressing any key will
cause the diskette to be read.  The volume directory will be displayed on the
screen.  The arrow keys can be used to scroll up or down through the file list.

Placing the cursor (the ">" character) beside a filename and pressing RETURN
will cause the program to prompt for an MS-DOS filename where the data
is to be copied.  Either a filename ("output.txt") or a complete pathname
("c:\temp\output.txt") can be entered.  The data will then be copied to the
MS-DOS file.  No conversion of any type (like CR to CR,LF) is done.  No
disk swapping is supported.  Files cannot be copied from MS-DOS to the
ProDOS diskette.  Sparse files will not be copied.  GS/OS forked files cannot
be copied.  PASCAL area files cannot be copied.  Deleted files cannot be
copied.

Placing the cursor beside a directory name and pressing RETURN will cause the
program to read that subdirectory and display it.  Pressing ESC while in
a subdirectory will cause the previous directory to be reread and displayed.
Directories up to 10 levels deep can be accessed this way.  Directories over
10 levels deep can be read but pressing ESC will always return to the ninth
level directory.  A warning message is displayed when this happens.

The ESC key can be used to cancel any operation except one.  When an MS-DOS
filename is prompted for pressing RETURN with no filename entered will
cancel the copy.

The ProDOS diskette must be a 1.44M HD diskette (with two holes in the bottom
corners).  The diskette is read using ROM BIOS INT x13.  The file is written
using standard Microsoft QuickC functions.

The video display is managed using the ROM BIOS INT x10.  If the parameter
/A is passed to ProCOPY (eg. PROCOPY /A) it will use ANSI display sequences
instead of INT x10.  An ANSI display driver must be in use for /A to work.

This program is FREEWARE.  It works for me but I cannot guarantee it will
work for everyone.
