Sm(a)rtcopy v3.0
****************

1. What?
........

This program can copy a file from your hard disk to your disk drive,IN THE 
CASE THAT THE FILE SIZE IS BIGGER THAN THE SIZE AVAILABLE IN YOUR DISK DRIVE. 
It does not have to be a file on hard disk, it can also be a file on CD-ROM 
for instance and the mentioned disk drive can also be something else than the 
usual 1.44 disk drive; for instance a 1.22 drive or even a ZIP-drive will 
work. Once copied it is possible to restore the disk(ette)s to another 
computer!
Also splitting and rejoining of a file into a number of pieces directly in a 
directory is possible.
Right! YOU CAN COPY BIG FILES VIA ORDINARY DISKETTES and/or SPLIT YOUR E-MAIL 
ATTACHMENTS.

2. How?
.......

With the same program (smrtcopy.exe) on 2 PCs.

A) CUT
On PC 1 you choose option 1: CUT.
Then you can choose between 3 options: the first for copying to diskettes and 
the 2 other options for copying into 1 directory via submitting the max. size 
per piece or simply a number of pieces... 
The program asks all it needs for each option. 
For instance when copying to disks you will mention the name of the file and 
the drive letter. The program will then determine the minimum number of disks 
needed and copy the file to that disks. On every disk there will be made one 
file with a special header that will be recognized in next step.

B) PASTE
On PC 2 you choose option 2: PASTE.
You will need to tell the program if the cut files are on several disks or in 
one directory and so one.
For instance when pasting from disks you start with inserting the first disk, 
then the second one and so on.
After the last disk is inserted, the process will stop automatically and your 
file will be put completely on PC 2!

PLEASE TAKE ALSO A LOOK AT THE ADVANTAGES BELOW!


3. Advantages?
..............

* It will normally work under every DOS and WINDOWS-version!
If you try to use your own backup and restore tools, to backup a file in 
WIN95 for instance and restore it on a DOS 5.0 PC, well then you will have 
most probably compatibility problems! The DOS restore tool will not recognize 
the backup file or the WIN95 restore tool will not be able to run under 
DOS5.0.
* Handy built-in file and directory browser/selector
* Very small program, can easily be added to your boot or systemdiskette. In 
case of unbootable windows caused by a virus for instance, this program can 
be a relief because you will be able to safeguard for instance the big WAV-
file you made yesterday. Even if the mouse driver is disabled, the program 
works as it does not use the mouse at all.
* You can run it from disk drive; it is loaded into memory and stays there 
until you choose to exit.
* You do not need to buy or connect a special drive as a ZIP-drive.
* All files can be handled, even compressed files. You did try to make a file 
smaller for instance, to get below the 1.44 limit but it only compressed from 
5 to 2.5mb. This program wil easily copy the file of 2.5mb via two 
diskettes!!
* Partially filled disk(ette)s can be used too and you do not have to mention 
a (free) size as this is recognized automatically. It will not overwrite 
without asking.
* All 26 drive letters are supported.


4. Disadvantages?
.................

* It is not totally free. The UNREGISTERED version has a file size LIMITATION 
of 3 MB, but is this not very generous and for the rest it works like the 
registered version. It has no time limitation.
The REGISTERED version COSTS 5US$, but when thinking about the time and money 
you can save with this tool... .
* You can not input (manually) long filenames. You must limit the length to 8 
characters by simply renaming or using the DOS equivalents. However, the 
built-in browser will automatically convert nearly (to a depth of 28 
directory levels) all long file names!


5. Notes
........

* If you want to interrupt the copying (cutting) or pasting process for some 
reason, then use respectively CTRL+BREAK or ESC.
* The maximum number of disks or pieces for one file is 99.


6. Register?
............

If you want to split and rejoin files, no matter what the size is then you 
have to register. Of course, we can not forbid people to use the limited 
version of Smartcopy, without registering. Providing the shareware concept 
some support however is a good thing...
Registering means even also some support from our part by mail!
Unbelievable if you look at the price below.
Once registered, you get by E-mail your personal unlimited smrtcopy.exe.

6.1 Belgium:
------------
If you live in Belgium, then you can transfer 200 BEF on postcheque account: 
000-1712341-97
There is no need to mention any other data of Shareware Hangvogel but do not 
forget to mention "Smartcopy" and your E-mail address!!
You can also use regular post by sending over the cash. Address and remarks: 
see below.

6.2 Outside Belgium:
--------------------
5 EURO, 5 US dollar, 10 Australian dollar, 10 Canadian dollar or 700 Japanese 
yen.
For European people that do not pay in EURO, following prices are accepted 
too: 30 FF, 10 Ned gulden, 10 DM or 3 British pound.
Since one can not be sure about transfer costs it is probably the best you 
just send over the cash by regular post TO...
PB 4
B-8480 Ichtegem 1
Belgium


IMPORTANT REMARKS: 
ON the letter: do not write anything above "PB 4" and do not forget the "1" 
next to "Ichtegem"!
IN the letter: do not forget to mention "Smartcopy" and your E-mail.
ALSO: you can try transfering from outside Belgium to above account, but pay 
attention to transfering costs; we do not accept that the net price is below 
the mentioned ones (200BEF, 5 EURO,...)! If below the price, the program will 
most probably not be sent.

6.3 Urgent?
-----------
Term of delivery depends of course on the distance between our countries. 
However, from arrival time in Belgium onwards: normally max 1 week, except 
during summer time this term can be increased by one or two weeks. Please 
check website.

You can also register ONLINE (VISA) or even FAX via an intermediate company.

8. Last words
.............

We shall add, that Shareware Hangvogel is not responsible for any harm caused 
by this program on a direct or indirect manner. Using the program is 
accepting this statement.
The program however has been tested a lot and never caused any harm.

Just try out the unregistered version and decide; the use as safety tool only 
is worth registering!

Thanks for trying this program!
