Copy-Q (1984)

Copy-Q claimed to be the fastest, most reliable and easy to use copy program. Contained an intelligent nibbler. Seems pretty basic from the screen shot.

I just added a newly found in my collection – Copy-Q V3 – Cowboy Disk
and then I “fixed” my Original Copy-Q V3. It will now work in an emulator or the Ultimate! Download Both below.
