Since
DISKCOPY makes a "mirror image" of everything on a diskette,
it
does
not
require
that
the
disks
be
formatted
first.
You
can
back
up
on
an
already-used
diskette without erasing and reformatting
it,
or copy onto a
new
diskette without having
to
run the
FORMAT
program first. In addition, if you
make aDISKCOPY of your System Diskette, you can use
that
diskette
to
boot
your Vector
4.
This program
off
ers the same two options as the
FORMAT
program, R and
Be

the
same purpose:
to
Repeat the action over
several
disks, or
to

a
message

any
Errors

program
discovers.

FORMAT,
you

to.
