DDUtil Instructions
12/23/97
-------------------

DDUtil is a program that will take a list of filenames and create a
DiskDupe image from them. You can create 320k, 360k, 720k, 1.2Mb,
1.4Mb, 1.68Mb, 2.88Mb or Mac high density images.

Installing DDUTIL
-----------------
- Copy DDUTIL.EXE into the \DISKDUPE subdirectory that DiskDupe is
currently installed in. (DDUTIL.EXE requires the use of DISKDUPE.BRS)
- If necessary, add the \DISKDUPE subdirectory to your path statement
so you can run DDUtil from any subdirectory

Creating the File List
----------------------
- The file list is an ascii text file that contains one filename per
line for each file to be included in the image.
- The filenames can include the drive and path of where they are
located but they will all be placed in the root directory of the
image.
- Blank lines or lines that start with a semicolon ";" will be
ignored.

Mac Images
----------
- For Mac images, the files will be copied to the data fork. If you
want to change the defaults on how all files are copied put this on a
separate line ". type=text creator=msdos fork=data". If you want to
change the default for just one line, put the same line without the
period after the filename.
- You can use the Macintosh program BinHex to convert program files
into MacBinary format. In the file list specify: "MACPROG.BIN
FORK=BOTH". DDUtil will expand the original filename, data and
resource forks, creator and type.
- Mac images can hold a maximum of 70 files.

Running DDUtil
--------------
- Once the file list has been created, run DDUTIL to convert it to an
image with the command "DDUTIL @FILES.LST TEST.DDI 5", where FILES.LST
is the file list you created and 5 is for a 1.4Mb disk.
- The other disks types are:
  1 = 320k
  2 = 360k
  3 = 720k
  4 = 1.2Mb
  5 = 1.4Mb
  6 = 2.88Mb
  7 = Macintosh high density
- For a help summary, type DDUTIL /?
