Brutal Deluxe Software has announced the availability of their Fishhead Copier program which allows users to copy software in the GS/OS Environment.

Fishhead includes a number of important advancements and features including:

* Attribute preservaswtion when copying files
* Batch Mode allowing removable devices and consecutive disk copying
* Advanced error handling
* A complete history log of all copies performed.

Fished copies files in 256 byte chunks  and it’s primary function is to allow the user to archive a disk, preserving as much of the original data as possible.  The program does not stop on errors, instead copying any bad area as is and saving that data.

The program will run on the Apple IIgs ROM01 or ROM03 using System 6.0.1 or newer.   The network functions of the program require Appleshare.

You can download the Fishhead copier from the Brutal Deluxe website at:
