INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Pack2Dsk is to copy files to floppies (or
other removeable media) and store them in the most
diskspace-efficient manner possible.
Pack2Dsk is currently distributed as Shareware. It is not
free. Shareware is software that you can examine on a trial
basis. If you decide to use Pack2Dsk beyond the trial
period, you are required to register as a user and send
IntelliSys the registration fee. (See below for information
about how to register your copy.) You are encouraged to
pass a copy of Pack2Dsk along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy as
well if they find it useful.
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable
quality. Distributing software as shareware saves money for
the software developer by allowing distribution through
low-cost channels, while presenting you with a quality
product at a savings. The Shareware concept can only work
for the benefit of all computer users if the users of
Shareware pay for its use. Please refer to the LICENSE
AGREEMENT for terms for use of Pack2Dsk.

THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU

USING Pack2Dsk
When files are copied to another drive, typically the files
get copied "first come, first served". That is, the least
modified files get copied first and the most modified files
get copied last. Pretty silly scheme for efficient disk
storage, huh? Pack2dsk (or Pack-to-Diskette, if you will)
solves this problem by quickly determining the next file
that will just fit in the available space on the floppy and
moves it.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Usage is as follows:
PACK2DSK d: [filespec]
where d: is the destination drive - where the files will be
copied to - and filespec is an optional wildcard parameter
specifying the files to copy from the current directory.
For example:
*.DOC or,
*.EXE or,
*.* the default.
Pack2Dsk followed by:
/? displays command line help.
/M moves files instead of copying them.
After the program begins, you will be asked to put a
diskette in the drive and press a key. After you press a
key, Pack2Dsk will fill the floppy and ask for a new floppy
- until all the files in the current directory are copied.
NETWORK ACCESS
This is not a multi-user application. It was not written to
allow access to its files by more than one user/session at
time.
