*** ROMCOPY ***
This is a quick utility to be able to copy ANY file on the CDROM by
just giving the name, not worrying about what directory it is in.
This is done through a simple ASCII database file (FILELIST.DAT)
that tells where the files are. The format of the file is as follows:
First line:
XXX where XXX is the default file extension of the files in that
database... this saves major space in most cases.
Repeated sets of the following:
<drive:\dir> The subdirectory. Drive is optional.
<filename.ext> A list of the files in that subdirectory... do not
. include the extension if it is the default extension
. -- and don't put the dot in. The only time you need
. a dot is for files with NO extension.
<filename.ext>
There is a program called makedir.exe that will generate such a list
for a drive automatically, traversing all the directories of a disk
and producing the database. The format of the command is:
makedir c: zip OFF
where c: is the drive letter of the cd-rom, zip is the name of the
default file extension and off tells makedir not to include the
drive: in the database, mainly so that CD rom developers can put
the database on the cdrom and have the users run the door from the
cd rom, whatever drive it might be installed on.
