Press Release Feb 6, 1991
Express-Way Software, Inc. has announced the release of version 1.5
of the hard disk backup and file copy utility ExpressCopy. ExpressCopy can
perform hard disk backups at up to 1 megabyte per minute and creates
standard DOS disks that can be used normally from both the CLI and
Workbench. Blank disks can be formatted, verified, and filled with files
from your hard disk in less time than it takes to format a new disk. Files
to be copied can be selected by include or exclude pattern matching,
datestamp, and archive bit. Either Fast File System or Normal File System
backup disks can be created. Options for estimating number of disks
required, verify of backup disks, warning of overwriting of DOS disks,
listing of files copied to disk, creating multiple copies, and alternating
between up to 4 disk drives for performing the backup. Also included is
software for restoring backups to hard disk and verifying the integrity of
your backup disks at any time after the backup has been completed.
Major new features for version 1.5 are support for the Applied
Engineering AE High Density floppy drive, addition of extensive ARexx
support, and AmigaDOS 2.0 compatability.
The ARexx support gives users complete control over directory and file
selection for backup, and allows users to integrate ExpressCopy backups
with other ARexx compatible applications.
A sophisticated CanDo application is provided to take advantage of the
advanced features of ExpressCopy's ARexx support. Neither ARexx or CanDo
is required to use the CanDo application. The CanDo application gives the
user complete control over directory and file selection for backup, and
does the backup interactively. While ExpressCopy is backing up your
previous file selections, you can continue to make additional selections.
ExpressCopy Version 1.5 has a suggested list price of only $49.95, and
the Version 1.5 update is available to registered owners of ExpressCopy for
only $10.00 + $2.00 shipping & handling ($4.00 outside US & Can).
Individuals who obtained ExpressCopy with their Supra hard disk can receive
the update for the same fee, but must also send in the original ExpressCopy
disk they received with their Supra hard disk.
