 Compares the contents of two floppy disks, track by track

 Syntax: DISKCOMP [d1: [d2:]] [/1] [/8]
   d:  The drive letter for a floppy disk.  If only one drive letter is
       given, assume the working drive (if a floppy drive.)  If no drive
       letters are given, assume both are the working drive (if a floppy).
       If both drives are the same, diskcomp will read one floppy at a
       time, and you may need to swap floppies.
   /1  Compare only the first sides of the disks, even if double-sided
       disks.
   /8  Compare only the first 8 sectors per track.

 Diskcomp messages
 If all tracks on the two disks being compared are the same, diskcomp
 displays the following message:

    Compare OK

 If not, diskcomp displays a message like this:

    Compare error on side 1, track 2

 When it is done, diskcomp asks:

    Compare another diskette (Y/N)? _

 Omitting drive parameters
 If you omit the drive2 parameter, diskcomp uses the current drive for
 drive2.  If you omit both drive parameters, diskcomp uses the current
 drive for both.  If the current drive is the same as drive1, diskcomp
 prompts you to swap disks as necessary.

 Using one drive for the comparison
 If you specify the same floppy disk drive for drive1 and drive2,
 diskcomp does a comparison by using one drive and prompts you to
 insert the disks as necessary.

 Comparing different types of disks
 Diskcomp cannot compare a single-sided disk with a double-sided disk,
 nor a high-density disk with a double-density disk.  If the disk in
 drive1 is not the same type as the disk in drive2, diskcomp displays
 an error message.

 Using diskcomp with networks and redirected drives
 Diskcomp does not work on a network drive or on a drive created or
 affected by an assign, join, or subst command.  If you attempt to use
 diskcomp with a drive of any of these types, diskcomp displays an
 error message.

 Comparing an original disk with a copy
 When you use diskcomp with a disk that you made with the copy command,
 diskcomp may display an error message like this:

   Compare error on side 0, track 0

 This type of error can occur even if the files on the disks are
 identical.  Although the copy command duplicates information, it
 doesn't necessarily place it in the same location on the destination
 disk.
