Well not another copy program.....

This was born as an internal production which fixed a number of annoying
'features' with imagers already around.

So what is this piece of shit? Well it simply produces MSA files from
floppy disks. Stupendously these MSA files can then be used in an emulator
with the little disk preserved for ever!

As I mentioned I've added\fixed some things :-

+ Floppy code works directly at the FDC level, my routines offer a far
better chance of imaging those old disks held in the attic for years.
The effectiveness is increased by using sector read, offering the ability
to re-read bad sectors at the individual level rather than starting 
at the beginning of the track each time (ala Fcopy-Pro or Acopy). Believe
me this improves the chances of imaging a disk immensely.

+ TDE doesn't bork at a bad sector which the infuriating MSA 2.3 does

+ MSA compression is optimised a wee bit (packing takes place once the
whole disk is read rather than each track)

+ You have nice graphical representation of the imaging process (c) ggn

+ A stomping Kraftwerk track from gwEm - German industrial engineering
  The track is severely enhanced on the STe!!

+ Auto-Mode - Are you an imager drone? Fed up with having to change the 
image name each time you image a disk? Well auto-mode automatically 
creates a new unique filename each time a disk is read.

- The program needs at least a meg of RAM. I mentioned earlier this is 
based on an internal app. So I read in the disk in one go. As Automation
famously said, get a 1mb drive, get a 1mb ST.
