Does anybody out there know of a program that will write directly to a blank (unformatted) disk for the purpose of disk duplication? I would write one myself, but while I seem to remember that you can change the character with which you format, I can't find the reference, so I can't tell if you can change each byte of the sector individually. Any pointers? -Brian You drop the bomb -more- It goes off... -more- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am *NOT* as think as you dumb I am!! | This space for rent (241-6939) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Even I don't agree with myself! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send me mail so I can send you mail so you can send me mail so ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you tried DISKCOPY? It will copy a diskette, formatting if needed. Of course, if you're using anything larger than 360K media, it will require multiple passes since it's oblivious to expanded and extended memory. -- HI ROGER |Nikebo says "Nikebo knows how to post.
