Chapter 6 / Command Reference
• If no parameters are specified, DISKCOMP will do a single
drive comparison using the current drive.
• During the DISKCOMP process, you will be informed of any
disk cylinders or tracks that do not match. DISKCOMP will
then continue with the comparison.
• Copies of diskettes made using the COpy command will not
usually be identical. Data is not necessarily copied in the
same position on the target diskette as it was located on the
source diskette. Use the DISKCOPY command for mirror-
image copies of diskettes.
• If a read error occurs on a track of one diskette, that track is
reported as differing.
• You cannot compare a double-sided diskette with a single
sided diskette. Trying to do so will cause an error message.
• Diskettes with a different number of sectors per track cannot
be compared.
• Drivel and drive2 cannot be virtual drives, such as those cre-
ated with the Version 3.2 SUBST command.
Examples
dlscomp [ENTERI
compares two diskettes for identical data on the current drive.
You will be prompted when to swap diskettes.
d 15k com p a: b: /
1 /
8 [ ENTER
I
compares the diskette on Drive A with the diskette on Drive B.
Only one side is compared and only eight sectors of each track
are compared.
