FastCopy
The Fastest Copy/Delete Software on Windows
It supports UNICODE and over MAX_PATH(260byte) pathname files.
It automatically selects different method according to whether Source and DestDir are in the same or different HDD.
Diff HDD: Reading and writing are processed respectively in parallel by another thread.
Same HDD: Reading are processed until the big buffer fills. When the big buffer filled, writing are started and processed in bulk.
Because Reading/Writing are processed with no OS cache at all, other applications aren't easy to become heavy.
It can bring out Reading/Writing performance that is close to device limit.
Include/Exclude Filter (UNIX Wildcard style) can be specified.
It runs lightly, because MFC is not used. (made by Win32 API and C Runtime only)
You can modify this software, because all source codes have been opened to the public in the BSD license.
Runs on Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Windows7
