"COPY"            This gadget starts the copy.
            It can show 3 lines:
      COPY      will start a disk-to-disk copy AND copies the data
            in RAM.
            If you have a memory-expansion:
      READ      reads the complete source-disk in RAM without
            crunching.
      WRITE      writes the data in RAM to the destination-disks.
            Here are some times:
            Src Dst            Verify
            1   1   2   3   4  Off    On
            *                  0:35   0:35
            *   *              1:09   1:45
            *   *   *          1:09   2:23
            *   *   *   *      1:09   3:01
                *              0:34   1:09
                *   *          0:34   1:47
                *   *   *      0:34   2:25
                *   *   *   *  0:34   3:03
                         
MODE:       This gadget selects the copy-type:
      USED      will copy used tracks, and formats empty tracks.
            When the copy starts, RattleCopy will search for a Rattle Map.
            This is an alternative Bitmap that RattleCopy saves in the
            gap of track 0 after a RattleCopy.
            When it has found the map, it copies the used tracks.
            When it didn't find the map, it scans the disk and copies
            the used tracks.
            Not-used tracks are recognized when they are filled with
            zero's, "DOS", "[X]COPY", or other kinds of fill-up data.
      BAM      copies the tracks allocated in the Bitmap and
            formats the other tracks.
            If the source-disk is not a DOS disk, RattleCopy jumps automatically
            to "USED".
      RANGE      will copy all tracks from start-position till
            end-position.  

VERIFY            This selects if the copied tracks will be verified.

FORMAT            This gadget selects the format-type:
      OFF      will skip the tracks.
      FAST      formats without verify.
      VERIFY      formats with verify.
            The tracks will be filled with zeros.

"TIME"            This is the clock, it shows the time that you're using
            RattleCopy and how long a copy takes. (Switch between times
            by clicking it.)

"MESSAGE"      This is the information-gadget, errors or other important
            things will be reported here.

"START"           This is the start track and head for the copy.

"END"       This is the end track and head for the copy.

"POS"       This is the track and head position under the pointer.

ALL         This sets the standard range.
            An AmigaDOS copy skips track 80-85.

SRC:        This is the source-drive, a source-disk will be recognized
            if the write-protection is on.

DST:        These are the destination-drives, a destination-disk will be
            recognized when the write-protection is off.

"TRACK MAP"      Here you can set the range:   Place the pointer on the
            wanted start-track, press left-button AND hold it down, place
            the pointer on the wanted end-track and free the left-button.
