MS-DOS

Summary:

Microsoft Multiplan for MS-DOS systems has never been copy protected. If your version is copy protected, it is most likely an OEM version of Multiplan.

Page xvi of the “Microsoft Multiplan” version 2.00 manual gives directions on how to to use the DISKCOPY command to make copies of the program disk. Please note that if the DISKCOPY procedure is used, the copy will not be bootable because the operating system will not be on the newly formatted disk.

Do the following to make a bootable copy:


 * 1) Format the blank disk with the DOS FORMAT/S command.
 * 2) Use the DOS COPY command to copy all program files onto the blank disk.
