Looks pretty nice, but it appears atleast part of it is in German (I am guessing).

Any English directions/guide to it?


Looks pretty nice other wise!

I couldn't get that aminet link to work but I did find the file here!

why is it '93 and 2008?

[Evillord68]

The last X-Mas release is from 1993. Now 2008 it´s for free.

Here´s the original thread: http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14027

A nice gesture I guess, but does anyone actually use X-Copy any more?

I would've thought that there are ADFs of pretty much ever piece of software ever released for the Amiga?

Cheers,

Mike.

google translated from that thread:

Hello,

also my best wishes and greetings for a besinnliches Christmas the 2008th At Cachet had earlier service package for customers with a special X-copy version for Christmas. Of course, the saw, even after Christmas from. 1993, this version I put together, then gave it to my knowledge no X-Mas Copy more.

This repackaging (15th Anniversary Edition) contains the 93er X-Mas Copy, Cyclone, CCIS and a small demo.

This version may be freely disseminated. ...

Nobody. No selfrespecting Amigauser nor demosceneswapper used it even back then either as there were much better alternatives available.

hooligan:

sarcasm, perhaps?  I used it to copy games back in the day, along with other copy programs.

[hooligan]

0% sarcasm. Really. Superduper or even Tetracopy beat the {bleep} out of xcopy.

[Ruud]

Yeah Superduper was good and I liked D-Copy as well.
X-Copy though holds a certain kind of nostalgia for me.  It was one of the first non-game pieces of software I was introduced to on the A500.   Got no use for it now but it's nice they've released a free version for those that might want it.

Cheers,
Rudi.

hooligan:

I used it alot, but some of the stuff i had was cracked and put on a single disk.  I used Synchro-Express to copy protected disks.

[hooligan]

Bad cracks :-D

Those were the the days.. I did swapping till the end of 1999. Gathered three plasticbags full of  paperletters eventhough letters were written most on disk later. Hard to guess how many disks I have copied or how many diskdrives went bust during the around 10 years I acted as a swapper, I would say thousands. I had a couple hundred contacts which kept me busy and made a burning hole to my walled
 :lol:

X-copy was probably the most used software on the Amiga and did it's work well, and i think SD and TC required more than 1MB of memory, that most A500 users didn't have at that time, to copy a full disk with only one floppy drive and without disk swapping more than once.
