If you are a software engineer: DON'T PANIC! This blog is my place to beam thoughts on the universe of Software Architecture right to your screen. On my infinite mission to boldly go where (almost) no one has gone before I will provide in-depth coverage of architectural topics, personal opinions, humor, philosophical discussions, interesting news and technology evaluations.

DCP
Some people have written me if I am going to write a Windows version of DCP (Disk Copy Program). It is astonishing how many people still use DCP41 which is rather old and was developed using Borland C++ 2.0/3.0. Some of you might remember these tools. First, I will have to take a look how new Windows versions handle access to floppies. Anyway, if someone could point me to some example code I would be very thankful. Then, I will need to write a GUI. I'd rather prefer .NET but unfortunately this would require users to have the .NET framework installed.
