Don't help out those PD hypocrites by putting these or any other of our docs
on PD boards.
Warp v1.1x. The Release. Written by the fine programmers at MAAD.
usage
WARP read <start> <end> <flname> [nocomp | nozero | append | mfm | +readme]
or
WARP write <filename> <filename> <filename> ...
start and ending track numbers range from 0 to 79 in DOS mode. only in mfm
mode can tracks 80 - 82 be read or written to.
all input and output files with the exception of the readme file require
the '.WRP' ending. If you don't specify it, it will be automatically
appended.
if track 0 of the disk has the SCA virus , it will not be allowed to Warp up.
You must install the disk and retry it.
explanations of the command line options:
NOCOMP - override compression schemes and store the data directly.
NOZERO - override use of the DOS bitmap structure for eliminating unused
sectors. if the disk has AmigaDOS standard tracks but does not
use the AmigaDOS filing system, this option must be used.
IMPORTANT!!!!! you should always check to see if this option
should be used. I dont ever want to see any trackered program
anywhere.
APPEND - appends contents on to the end of the file if it exists, rather
than creating a new one.
MFM - use raw MFM standard disk read/writes.
+readme - Will read in the contents of the file 'readme' compress them and
store the text inside the warp file. When the person un-warps the
file, the text will displayed. Used for giving credit where credit
is due.
examples.
WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff
result: reads tracks 0 thru 19 using the normal Amiga trackdisk device and
compressing 1 track at a time and storing in the file ram:stuff.WRP .
WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff mfm
result: same as above except uses raw mfm unencoded/decoded reads from the
disk drive.
WARP read 60 69 ram:stuff append
result: if the file 'ram:stuff.WRP' exists , the tracks will be appended to
the end of the file. this is good for creating one WARP file containing
different tracks from each part of this disk.
WARP read 0 19 ram:stuff nocomp
result: reads tracks 0 thru 19 in normal DOS mode , overriding compression.
WARP read 0 79 ram:stuff nocomp nozero +ram:readme
result: reads in the contents of 'ram:readme' and compresses it and stores
it then reads tracks 0 thru 79 in normal DOS mode, overriding
compression, and overriding bit-map zeroing.
WARP write ram:stuff
will untracker the tracks contained in the file ram:stuff. WARP will
automatically read in track numbers and modes and do CRC checking.
therefore , it is possible to combine any combination of mfm or dos tracks
together into one file.
WARP write ram:stuff1 ram:stuff2 ram:stuff3 ram:stuff4
will untracker the tracks contained in the files stuff1.WRP thru stuff4.WRP
on to the disk in drive 0.
Also here are the docs for the Wsplit , the split track utility.
Usage: Wsplit <input file> <output file> <start track #> <end track #>
Wsplit will scan the input file and if it finds any tracks within the
specified range it will copy them over to the output file.
Ex: Wsplit df0:Ferrari df1:F1 0 39
This will scan the Warp file 'df0:Ferrari.WRP' for tracks 0 thru 39. if it
finds them , they will be copied over to the file 'df1:F1.WRP'.
Wsplit was scammed in a couple hours especially for those Utah guys. I hope
you put it to good use. (I would've had it up a couple days ago , but
the damn Manx library printf '\r' is screwed and I had to find out the hard
way.)
