- IO - Tools V 1.6
- ----------------
-
- (c) Pierre LALOE 24 December 1996
- Written in Visual Assembler V 4.1
-
- -- Shareware program --
- V.A. 4.1 license : 0003
- -----------------------
-
- This little program works on all MC68030 with AES 3.40 machines
- (Falcon ... possibly TT) and is written with 100 % of system calls.
- It works both in Program and in Accessory mode with intelligent menu
- interface !
- IT ONLY WORKS WITH XHDI 1-25 compliant disk-drivers. NOT AHDI 6.0x !
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- IO-Tools has got 3 main windows with each a different type of operation,
- and one configuration window.
-
- 1) Hard-disk operations :
- 1.1) Hard disk / removable media copy
- 1.2) Hard disk / removable media backup into a file
- 1.3) Hard disk / removable media restore from a file to a
- partition or an entire disk
-
- Remark :
- the sizes in bytes MUST match exactly ! (otherwise
- it's pure madness to copy/restore a partition whatever
- its format onto another partiton of a different size.
-
- Applications :
- 1. make quick backups of your internal hard disk onto a big
- removable media (Jazz ...)
- 2. make an image file for quick/repetitive copies/duplications ...
- 3. copy a linux partition to another disk.
- 4. copy ZIP cartridges.
-
- 2) Cut and scotch operations :
- 2.1) Cut a file in several other files of the same length.
- (except the last one which can be smaller *of course*)
-
- 2.2) Scotch several files together to make one single file.
-
- Applications :
- 1. Cut a big file to transport it on floppy disks.
- 2. Scotch a splitted file
- 3. Repair a ZIP archive which misses its last 0 bytes, by
- merging it with a 1 byte long file contaning a 0.
-
- 3) Recusive actions :
- You choose a starting path, one or several file mask(s) and
- the action to perform to each matching file found recursively.
-
- 3.1) Write-protect a file
- 3.2) Un-write-protect a file
- 3.3) Delete a file
- 3.4) List to another file the result of the research
- 3.5) Change the TTRam loading/mallocing modes
- (Fastload={clear only BSS}/Load in TTRam/force TTRam for mallocs)
-
- Applications :
- 1. Write protect your executables against erratic deletion
- 2. delete all your .BAK files in a specific disk tree. (like TUERBAK)
- 3. Backup your C:\AUTO and accessory order in a file to rember it
- for a further install ...
- 4. Have an exhaustive list of all the files of you hard disk / CD-ROM
- 5. After a TTRam upgrade : parse your the executables on your disk
- and set the bit, so that they load into TTRam
-
- This program is written on the "one single piece of action per timer unit"
- a method which permits it to cooperate in monotasking mode ! Nevertheless, its action
- can take a large amount of time, this only depends on the memory you let it use.
- So, to continue running something else at the same time : use the configuration
- window and choose "USE ONLY" and a little amount of Kbytes !
-

-
- The demo version of this program is distributed via the Internet and
- shall be copied and tested by whoever wants so.
- Well, the restrictions in the DEMO version are quite obvious if you take
- time to open and have a look at all windows...
-
- The registration costs 100 French Francs.
- The registered users will receive the latest version and possibly part of
- the source code if they wish to use it (if possible).
- They will receive the next releases for FREE !
-
- I AM AN ASSEMBLER 680x0 CODER FOR PLEASURE, I shall encourage you to do
- the same !
-
- Visual Assembler once, Visual Assembler forever !
