- Version History:
-
- Version 0.1 Basic functionality: Records the boot sector, 1 FAT table,
- and the root directory into a "storage location" near the end
- of the disk. On this version, if any data is near the end of
- the disk it will be overwritten. A future version of this
- program will solve this problem.
-
- Version 0.2 Buffers are now dynamically created thereby reducing the size
- of the executable.
-
- After testing it became apparent that the image is usually
- stored between the end of a logical drive and the beginning
- of the next partition on a hard disk. (This was true on version
- 0.1.) FAT table modifications will still need to be made on a
- floppy disk.
-
- Modified the code so that the space used by the mirror image
- is marked as reserved in the FAT tables, if necessary.
- (Currently works only on FAT-16 file systems.)
-
- Added code to save a backup of the partition tables on the A:
- drive by using MIRROR /PARTN. (MIRROR /P works too!) The
- partition tables are stored in a file named "partnsav.fil" The
- partnsav.fil is not compatible with MS-DOS's; but will be
- recoverable with UNFORMAT version 0.8, to be released shortly.
- For information regarding the format of the partnsav.fil, please
- see the documentation in the source code.
-
- Added the /? switch to display the help screen.
