Notes for using PM Diskcopy
───────────────────────────
 Normally the use of PM Diskcopy is very simple and you can call the
 online help everywere at every time.
 The only thing that may cause problems is the copying of disk with
 different formats.
 If for example you want to copy a 1,2MB 5¼" disk from drive B: to a
 1,44MB 3½" disk in drive A:, you have to turn on the "format target disk"
 option.
 So every time you want to copy disks with different format you have to
 format the target disk.
