Useful features of older (not obsolete!) versions of Copy II Plus:
4.3 1) You can use the program disk itself to check drive speed. No need
to remove the program disk and put in a blank disk; no danger of
trashing a disk if you forget. Besides, who has blank, unformatted
disks sitting around? I don't.
5.5 1) Easy to install a HELLO program to give you a menu or run a pre-boot
program. I initialize my Enhancer II before running Copy II Plus.
2) The sector editor is on the first menu; no need to select BIT COPY
first; easy to leave sector editor and return to other functions on
the first menu without having to replace the Copy II Plus disk.
3) In the sector editor you can "F" to "FOLLOW FILE" if you want to
scan for characters in a file. Version 7.1 does not allow this.
4) The Track-Sector map function seems nicer to me than in Version 7.1.

YOu specify what is A and what is B, then act on those two two choises.
