There are still so - called "3.0" versions of HD - COPY available for download on the Internet, but it is no longer written by the original author, but by a person from China.

Is there a problem with this 2.5? Why does it show "Not a valid 32-bit program" when double-clicked in the Windows window, and it must be run in the command line mode?

Bubble: That's a bug in Win9x itself. Run it in pure DOS, or run it in Win3.x/NT/2K/XP.

But it's also okay in the command line of Win98. It seems I still have to type the command line.

But the final original version is 2.0a?

It's about changing the version number. The version 3.0 can't run on old machines without a coprocessor.

This version of HD-COPY 2.5E was downloaded by me from a foreign DOS website. At that time, there was also a WHATNEW.DOC file in the compressed package. The website claimed that this version was the author's final version of HD-COPY. Let's just assume this is the final version of HD-COPY!
In addition, during use, I feel that the stability, compatibility, and disk reading ability of this version are indeed better than the 2.0a version! Please verify!

Some foreign websites are not as professional as domestic ones! How professional our website is!

I completely agree. May we all join hands to build the best DOS forum, so that DOS will live on forever and benefit more people.

I've been using the so-called version 3.0 and it feels good. There's no need to confirm when exiting. It works fine on 95/98, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't on XP.

But I have a 2.3R in the DOS software tool CD from 1999, and there is also a 2.3A Chinese version. Comparing the sizes, I find that 2.3R is the English version and has a much smaller capacity. I don't know if it uses EXE compression. The interfaces of 2.0A and 2.3A are almost the same, but the options in 2.3R seem more, and the author's English name is also different. Whether it is written by the same author, there is also a question: Is the HD-COPY DOS version written by Chinese or foreigners? Is W-HDCOPY FOR WINDOWS 1.0 the first continuation version of DOS HD-COPY?

I just have a hd - copy version 2.9, which is very stable and can read and write floppy disks normally under DOS/98/xp!

The last version of HD-COPY should be 2.2R, and the version numbers of 2.X after that are all changed. I once changed the version number and the author's name by myself, and the version I changed was later included in a CD, wow...
Later, domestic experts (Yao Changli and others) made HD-COPY 3.0, and I once called him to ask about this software. In fact, this software is completely rewritten and has no relationship with HD-COPY at all. The format of the floppy disk is spiral, so the speed is much faster than HD-COPY. Just because most people are used to using HD-COPY, the interface borrowed the interface of HD-COPY. Just the version number is set as 3.0. They also made a FOR WINDOWS version based on this version, and the version number is 1.0.
HD-COPY 3.0, HD-COPY FOR WINDOWS 1.0 and the original HD-COPY should be viewed separately. The most fundamental difference should be the way of formatting the floppy disk.

No translation required as the text is already in Chinese but the task is to translate from Chinese to English. Wait, no, I made a mistake. Let's correct. The original Chinese is "管它最终的版本号是多么，只要能很好的为大家服务就行。" The correct English translation is "No matter what the final version number is, as long as it can serve everyone well."
