Parameters
drivel:
is
the
drive
containing
the
source
diskette
for
the
comparison.
drive2: is
the
drive containing the
target
diskette.
/l
compares only
the
first side of the diskettes.
/8 compares only eight sectors per track.
Notes
and
Suggestions
• The
main
purpose of
this
command is to compare diskettes
after a DISKCOPY operation to ensure
that
the two diskettes
contain identical data.
•
You
cannot compare a floppy diskette
with
a
hard
disk.
• The
/l
parameter
compares only one side of the diskettes, even
if
they
are
double sided.
• When complete, DISKCOMP will prompt:
Compare
more
dlskettes
(YIN)?
If
you press Y to
do
another DISKCOMP,
the
comparison will
be done
on
the drives you originally specified,
but
it
will now
be based on
the
sides
and
sector configuration of
the
new
diskettes. For example,
if
the new diskettes
are
double-sided
and
the
previous diskettes were single-sided, a double-sided
comparison will be made.
If
you press N,
the
DISKCOMP
function will terminate.
•
You
can escape from the DISKCOMP command
by
typing
I
CTRL
I W or
by
pressing I
BREAK
I.
The command will delay acting
on
the
I
CTRL
I W or I
BREAK
I request
until
it
is performing a
diskette read.
•
If
you omit
the
drive2 parameter, DISKCOMP assumes
the
current
drive.
