[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] format/copy

Evidently I was less than clear.  I have seen a program for the
Macintosh (yeah, I know) that will read in an entire disk, save it to a
file, and make as many duplicates as you need.  The neat thing about it
is that when it encounters an unformatted floppy, instead of formatting
it and then writing to it, it writes as it formats.  This means that
unformatted disks take no longer than formatted disks!  Diskcopy is
fine, but my library of originals will be kept on a hard disk. 
PKZip/Unzip is a workable combination, but they can't handle unformatted
disks.  Perhaps this will clear the confusion.
