BULK ERASE PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION
--------------------------------

Note:  COPY II PC will now completely erase the
       target diskette on a track by track basis
       before writing to it.  Therefore, the
       program BULK ERASE is no longer necessary.
       It is included here only for completeness.

Some software protection schemes rely on the
absence of correctly formatted sectors on certain
tracks.  Also, other schemes require the second
side of a diskette to be blank. If you're having
trouble with a target diskette, it is helpful to
erase it before restarting the copy.

This BULK ERASE utility will completely erase a
diskette.

BULKERAS is also sensitive to an AT and will
perform accordingly. However, remember, on an
AT, COPY II PC only handles the low capacity
diskettes. Copy protection has not been introduced
with high capacity recording.

Instructions:

To use BULKERASE, type the following from the DOS prompt,

  BULKERAS [x:] [/B]

       x: = The drive in which you will place the diskette to
            be erased.
       /B = If both sides are to be erased, this operand is to
            be entered. The default is side 0 only. You will
            notice additional prompts when exercising a two-sided
            erasure for extra protection.
