***  New_ADOS_Cmds  ***

This disk includes two commands which are new versions of AmigaDOS 1.3
commands.  These new commands are:

    1. SetPatch 1.32 - adds several NEW patches and fixed a bug in the
       earlier SetPatch that made it not patch EXEC properly to handle the
       new 1 meg "obese" AGNUS.  The only argument it takes is "r", for the
       RAD patch.  Usage:

            CLI> SetPatch   --or--  SetPatch r  --or--  SetPatch > NIL: (r)

       It is usually used as the first line of a Startup-Sequence.  Running
       it without the redirection to NIL: (or redirecting it to a named
       file) will list the patches as they are installed.

    2. DiskCopy 1.3.1 - adds two new keywords, "NOVERIFY" and "MULTI" (MULTI
       does not appear in the command template - it allows multiple copies
       from a single original).  Verify mode is ON unless it is explicitly
       turned OFF.  There is at least one case where the NOVERIFY option
       MUST be used - that is when DISKCOPYing to a disk-sized RAD.  The
       "AmigaDOS Enhancer V1.3" manual gives an example of the old syntax
       as it is used in a Startup-Sequence (it goes something like this):

          SYS:SYSTEM/DiskCopy < NIL: DF0: to RAD: name "RAD_WB"

       where the "< NIL:" part auto-starts the diskcopy without the operator
       having to press [RETURN].  The NEW syntax adds the NOVERIFY keyword:

          SYS:SYSTEM/DiskCopy < NIL: DF0: to RAD: noverify name "RAD_WB"

       Failure to add the NOVERIFY keyword in this case will cause a GURU
       (it appears that VERIFY is explicitly looking for hardware).  Of
       course, copying from RAD: to a floppy disk will benefit from the new
       VERIFY mode, just as a disk-to-disk copy would.  This makes it easy
       to use RAD to quickly reorganize a disk.  As in the diskcopy-to-RAD
       example above, the following assumes a floppy-disk-sized RAD, which
       can be set up by setting up the MountList entry for RAD: to have a
       LoCyl entry of 0 and a HiCyl entry of 79 (again, see the Enhancer 1.3
       manual).  The procedure goes something like this (starting with a
       clean or newly formatted RAD - the AmigaDOS FORMAT command will work
       on a disk-sized RAD):

          CLI> Copy DF0: RAD: all CLONE

          CLI> DiskCopy RAD: to DF0: name "Whatever"

       This is useful for a disk that has had a number of files deleted,
       recopied, edited, or modified - this tends to cause files to become
       fragmented, with blocks scattered all over the disk (which slows load
       times and increases the chances of a read/write error occurring).  It
       also prevents someone from using "DiskSalv" on the disk to recover
       files which may have been deleted but not overwritten (you might be
       surprised at how many commercial disks have such files on them!).

I hope you find this information useful.  I had to discover most of it from
experimentation, but I have tested them quite thoroughly.  Of course, I did
not create them, so I am not responsible if you have any problems - but I
doubt that you will!
