transcopy & transedit[edit]

the option board deluxe did not work with copy ii pc, it worked with transcopy.exe and transedit.exe

copy ii pc was software only

PC-DOS[edit]

The utilities that were shipped with PC-DOS 6 and 7 were from Central Point Software, in much the same way that Microsoft included Norton Software in their MS-DOS. Whereas the Microsoft stuff was feature-reduced of the current norton version, PC-DOS shipped with full copies of older versions. --Wendy.krieger (talk) 09:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release dates[edit]

I've fixed the release dates for the earliest versions, and specified the platforms. The previous text made it appear as if CopyIIPC (the IBM PC/compatible version) was released in June 1981, when the IBM PC itself wasn't even announced until 2 months later... 79.178.184.72 (talk) 13:12, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Features from XTree?[edit]

"CPS licensed the Mirror, Undelete, and Unformat components of PC Tools to Microsoft for inclusion in MS-DOS versions 5.x and 6.x as external DOS utilities. CPS File Manager was ahead of its time, with features such as view ZIP archives as directories and a file/picture viewer."

XTree, which Central Point acquired in 1993, had many of these same features (file viewing, ZIP viewing, Undelete). Was the excellent File Manager that was included in PC Tools for Windows based on XTree? Even if it was originally developed in-house, were any of its features added to it from XTree? If so, that would be worth noting. (And if not, then what — if anything — did Central Point actually get out of the XTree acquisition?)
