WELCOME  TO  THE  WORLD  OF  B.A.D.
              -----------------------------------

   Hello,

   My  name  is Mark Hellman and I would like to take a few minutes
   of  your  valuable  time  to  tell you a little story.  When the
   Amiga was first born everyone went nuts over it- WOW, what great
   graphics,  STEREO sound, and digitized to boot, what a neat user
   interface.  Then, after working with Amy for a while- Geez, what
   slow  DISKS,  the drives make SO MUCH NOISE.  Hmm, What happened
   here?   Every  time  someone  talked  about the Amiga, sooner or
   later the SLOW disk speed and drive noise came up.  Well after a
   while I got real sick of hearing people rant and rave about Amy,
   then put her down because of the disk access speed.

   At  the  time  (about  Sept.  1987) I was working on a hard disk
   backup  utility  and had discovered some very interesting things
   about AmigaDOS.  The data was written one way, and read another!
   After  playing  around  ALOT, I was able to restore the drive so
   that  it was incredibly FAST!  After telling a few of my friends
   about  what  I  was  doing,  they  all  asked,  can you do it to
   floppies  too?   I  said  sure,  no problem!  (Grin) After a few
   months I had a demo version and B.A.D.  was born.

   B.A.D.    (Blitz   Amy's  Disks)  is  what  is  called  a  'Disk
   Optimizer'.   Basically  this means that B.A.D.  scans the disk,
   then  optimizes  all the information on it in such a way so that
   when  the  disk  is re-read everything is where it should be for
   the  most  efficient access times.  Speeds approaching that of a
   RAM:  disk can be and HAVE BEEN achieved.  In Fact, B.A.D.  will
   decrease  the  access time 250-500%!  Some disks, which are very
   fragmented will be up to 1000% faster!!

   This  demo  disk  was  created  in  the  normal way, then it was
   processed  with  B.A.D.   The disk was then crunched into a file
   using  Warp  for easy transport.  When unWarped you will have an
   exact duplicate of the disk I have.  Now here is what I want you
   to do:

   1>  Format a blank disk

   2>  Copy all  the  files and directories  from  this disk to the
       disk you just formatted ie. Put  this disk  in DF0: then put
       your empty disk in DF1:

       At the CLI type:

       COPY DF0: to DF1: ALL

       OR use your favorite Directory Utility. NOTE: do a FILECOPY,
       NOT a DISKCOPY!!

   3>  Make sure both disks are WRITE ENABLED, then  from WorkBench
       open the disk Icon and All the sub-directories on BOTH disks
       This allows your WorkBench to  update it's .info  files  for
       maximum speed.  Close all the  windows and REMOVE both disks
       from the drives.
    
   4>  After the disk Icons have  disappeared  from  the screen put
       the disks  back into  the drives.  This is to show  that the
       speed-up is ALWAYS there!
    
   5>  Now open the ORIGINAL disk (The one created with WARP)
       Did you  notice  the  drive  light  didn't even come on? How
       about the disk  you  copied to?  You should see about a 500%
       increase in speed on the blitzed disk.

   6>  Look around  on the disks, compare the speed, you should see
       a 200%-300% increase in speed in the sub directories!

       How much time could you save in an evening, a week, a year?


   At this point I'll let the disk speak for the value of B.A.D.

   I hope you enjoy the disk and the Icons and the SPEED!

   I'd like to thank the creators of the icons, the creator of WARP
   who  ever  you  are, and Harv Laser for the disk with the Icons,
   and of course YOU for taking the time to do this comparison.
