PREFACE
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
You will notice that this manual is concise. This is intentional
as we strived to make WinDupe the easiest program of its type to
use. We opted to provide an extensive built-in user help system.
Feel free to use this reference manual to install and get
acquainted with the program.
For many of you, this may be your first exposure to Shareware.
To help eliminate possible confusion, we have included a short
description of the Shareware marketing concept, explaining what
it is and why it relies on YOU for its survival.
What is Shareware? Shareware is not a kind of software. It is a
revolutionary method of marketing Commercial software. Our
software is Commercial software that we are allowing you to
examine for 15 days before you make the purchase decision. With
traditional marketing methods, you have to purchase Commercial
software from a computer store or through mail order businesses,
then try it out, and hope it does what you want. Shareware
allows you to "try before you buy!"
We rely upon you, the customer, to examine our software. If you
find it useful, please register. Your support is needed for us
to continue to improve our products.
Enough of this verbage. The real fun and learning begin when you
use the program. So, enjoy!
With warmest regards,
MaeDae Enterprises.

WHAT IS WINDUPE?
================
WinDupe is a powerful diskette duplicator for Windows 3.x that
allows you to:
1. Load any size diskette into memory in a single pass.
2. Copy, compare, or write the diskette to a disk file.
3. Format diskettes providing several options like quick format.
4. Work with diskettes in the background allowing several things
to take place at once.
5. Automatically convert diskettes from a lower capacity to a
higher capacity during the copy and compare operations. For
example, load a 360K diskette and copy it to a 1.44M diskette.
Try that with DOS!

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
=====================
1. IBM PC/XT/AT, IBM PS/2, or fully compatible computer capable
of running Windows 3.0 or later.
2. At least one 5.25" or 3.5" floppy disk drive. Two floppy disk
drives or one floppy and a hard disk (300K free space minimum for
the full system) are strongly recommended.
3. Enough free memory (real or virtual) to hold an entire diskette
in memory.
INSTALLATION - README.DOC
=========================
For all installation information see the README.DOC on the main
distribution diskette. You can view the information on-line or
print it out on your printer. README.DOC is constantly updated
to contain the latest information.
P.S. The Shareware version of WinDupe is complete. However, it
is a 15 day trial version. Also, additional product information
screens are added.
Feel free to share ONLY the Shareware version with friends and
potential users of WinDupe for 15 day trial/evaluation purposes
only. You may not use the Shareware version on other machines in
order to avoid purchasing additional copies of the full program.
You may not give away any copies or make more than one copy of
the fully operational program for other than archival purposes.
The full version of WinDupe has a unique serial number embedded
in each copy for traceability.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. Diskette #1 contains many files in addition to WD.EXE.
Please make sure these files are all installed in the same
directory when running the program.
2. If WinDupe does not run properly:
A. Your machine may not be 100% IBM PC operating system
compatible or Windows may be installed incorrectly. This is
not always disastrous and a quick call to our phone support
staff may solve your problem.
B. You may have a slightly incompatible Windows video
driver. Usually, updating your driver or re-installing
Windows solves the problem.
C. If you have any memory resident programs or system
drivers, try running without them loaded on your computer.
On some computers, ANSI.SYS is suspect.
3. This manual is designed to give you a general overview and
familiarity with the program. More complete, up-to-date
information is available to you through the extensive built-in
user help (F1) system and the help button on the dialog boxes.
When using the more advanced features of the program, the help
screens will guide you through the toughest questions with ease.
As WinDupe continues to add more features, you can be sure that
the built-in help will give you the guidance needed. This way
everybody wins. We don't spend money continually revising
manuals and charging you higher prices. You get what you want
and deserve: accurate up-to-date information. So fire up the
computer, dig in, and welcome to WinDupe!

GETTING STARTED
===============
After you run WD.EXE using the file manager, the MAIN MENU will
appear on your screen.
The Main Menu options with descriptions are below.
** File: This menu option provides the basic exit from WinDupe.
** Load: Load a source diskette into memory. The diskette may
be a previously stored diskette image (a WinDupe Disk File with a
WDF file extension).
A diskette must be placed into memory before you can do a copy or
compare with it. Only good source diskettes without any bad
sectors may be used. If you have some old source diskettes with
bad sectors on them, format a new error free diskette and copy
the files to it either from DOS or the File Manager. This will
allow you to create a new error free diskette.
** Copy: Once you have a diskette in memory, the copy option
will become enabled (menu option is no longer grayed) and you can
make duplicates of the in-memory diskette. You can even write
the diskette to a compressed disk image.
Like the load option, you must have error free diskettes. If a
diskette write error occurs during the copy operation, you will
need to start the copy over with a new diskette. With todays
diskettes there is really no good reason to work with
questionable diskettes.
Some very hard work went into this area allowing you to copy a
lower capacity in-memory diskette to a higher capacity diskette.
This means that you can load a 360K diskette into memory and then
diskcopy it to a 1.44M diskette. There will be a little over 1MB
free space on the 1.44M diskette (1.44M-360K) when you finish.
This is a very advanced feature that we hope you take a little
time to admire.
** Compare: Compare will allow you to compare the diskette in
memory against a diskette you insert into one of the drives.
Like the format command, compare also provides format conversion
allowing you to compare lower capacity diskettes against higher
capacity diskettes.
** Format: Numerous options are provided for the format command.
You can do a quick format, full format, full format with system,
etc. A diskette must format error free or you will be given an
error message saying it is bad.
** Help: This area provides general help for WinDupe and
provides an easy way to print the ORDER.DOC invoice form.
You may choose any of the displayed options by holding down the
Page 8
(C) Copyright 1992-1993 MaeDae Enterprises
Alt key, then pressing the letter which is underlined on the menu
item or by selecting it with the mouse.
TUTORIAL (DUPLICATING A DISKETTE)
=================================
Now let's do something simple to demonstrate how WinDupe works.
Choose the Load menu option. Then pick the Diskette to Memory...
option. A Load Options dialog box will appear allowing you to
select the source drive and whether to read only the data areas
or the entire diskette. Insert a diskette into either drive A:
or B: and select that drive from the source list box. Click on
OK when ready. The diskette should be read into memory. Did you
notice that the Copy and Compare main menu options are now
enabled? Also, the status area will be updated to show that the
diskette was successfully loaded.
Pick the main menu Copy Option. A dialog box will appear
asking you for the destination drive. Remove your source
diskette and place a target diskette into the same drive. Click
on OK. The in-memory diskette will now be copied to the new
diskette.
Did you notice that the status area was updated to reflect the
status of the last operation.
You have just completed your first operation with WinDupe. The
same type of steps will work with compare and format.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
===================
BACKGROUND OPERATION
WinDupe has been designed to support background use. For example,
you can start loading a diskette and switch to another Windows
program. WinDupe will continue to work in the background loading
the diskette. The WinDupe status area will be updated when the
operation is completed. If there are any errors during the read,
WinDupe will bring up an error message box thru your current
application informing you of the error.
DISKETTE COMPRESSION
WinDupe automatically compresses diskettes both in-memory and in
disk files. This ensures the smallest possible memory impact for
working with diskettes.
SMART LOADING
WinDupe calculates the last data area on your diskette and only
loads the diskette to that point. This results in much faster
operation. This feature can be disabled at your option.
AUTOMATIC FORMAT CONVERSION
Automatic diskette format conversion from lower capacity to higher
capacity formats is supported. For example, you can load a 360K
diskette and diskcopy it to a 1.44M diskette. You will have
roughly 1MB of free space on the 1.44M diskette after the
operation.
SINGLE PASS OPERATION
WinDupe pulls the entire source diskette into memory at one time.
You no longer have to swap diskettes in order to make copies.
This saves time on diskette operations and saves you the hassle
of swapping diskettes.
STATUS AREA
As you use WinDupe, the status area of the main window is updated
to keep you informed of the status of what is in memory and
whether the last operation was successful. To the greatest
extent possible, all successful operations will simply update the
status area. If the operation is unsuccessful, you will be
notified via an error message box and the status area will be
updated to reflect the error.
Page 10
(C) Copyright 1992-1993 MaeDae Enterprises
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
If WinDupe will not run, you may have insufficient memory or
too many memory resident programs. Try running WinDupe with
no memory resident programs or allocate a larger swapfile under
Windows. See your Windows User's Guide for help with the
Swapfile program.
If WinDupe just stops running and you get an "Unrecoverable
Application Error," you may have incompatible hardware/software.
Try running WinDupe in the 386 Enhanced mode (if you have a
386 computer) to see if that corrects the problem.
Occasionally, certain memory resident TSR or "pop-up" programs
conflict with WinDupe. In general, there is no problem, but
there are many new programs being written without regard to the
system requirements of other programs that may be running at the
same time. Remove them from memory, and try again. If that
fails, try getting rid of device drivers in your CONFIG.SYS file.
USE WITH STACKER
Stacker (tm of Stac Electronics, Carlsbad, CA) works beautifully
in doubling the storage capacity of drives. However, in very
rare and demanding situations we have noticed a couple of
apparent incompatibilities. The following sequences generate an
apparent incompatibility between Stacker 3.0 (r) and DOS:
1. (Assume both diskettes are already inserted into appropriate
drives.)
a. Load a 360K diskette from an unmounted drive.
b. Copy to a 720K diskette in an automounted drive.
c. Load the 720K diskette without removing the diskette from
the automounted drive.
d. Remove the 720K diskette, insert a 1.44Mb diskette to the
same automounted drive and copy to the 1.44Mb diskette.
e. Select Directory from the main menu and select the
automounted drive. The target diskette may show no
files.
2. Insert the 360K diskette into the unmounted drive and do not
yet insert the 720K diskette into the automounted drive.
a. Load a 360K diskette from the unmounted drive.
b. Copy to a 720K diskette in the automounted drive.
c. Select Directory from the main menu and select the
automounted drive. The directory listing may show
garbage.
If either of these cases occur, it may be that there is in fact
no problem with the way WinDupe functions. Simply open the drive
door of the automounted drive and close it again. If WinDupe
copied correctly, the Directory will display correctly at this
Page 11
(C) Copyright 1992-1993 MaeDae Enterprises
point. Alternatively, select Directory on the unmounted drive
and then retry the automounted drive. Again, if Windupe copied
correctly, the directory listing will display correctly at this
point.
MISCELLANEOUS
WinDupe works closely with your computer's hardware to gain
much of its speed. However, it never directly addresses the
hardware without using standard DOS calls. If you have any
memory resident software that modifies the way DOS works, then
WinDupe may not function properly. We strongly recommend that
you remove all memory resident software before running
WinDupe.
Page 12
WHATSNEW.DOC
WinDupe v1.10 for Windows provided the following over v1.04:
- Added an area that shows the first four files on the diskette in memory.
- Added directory support for several of the dialog boxes.
- You can now specify the number of copies. This allows WinDupe to move
to the background and pop through the active application to notify you
that you need to insert another diskette.
- Added help buttons to many of the dialog boxes.
- Added code to support Stacker (tm) stacked diskettes.
- Touched up several areas of the program.
- Expanded the help.
