- FILE FORMAT
-
- A Replicator preferences file is an extended file with an empty data fork.
- Through version 1.1, Replicator looks for a file named "ReplicatorPrefs" in
- the "@" directory and gets preferences from that file if it exists. The
- resource fork should contain eight resources of type $0001, with resource IDs
- $00000001 through $00000008.
-
- Resource IDs $00000001 through $00000005 are WORD values which correspond to
- checkboxes in Replicator's preferences dialog. If the word is zero, the
- checkbox is unchecked, while non-zero values indicate the checkbox is checked.
-
- Resource IDs $00000006 through $00000008 are WORD values which correspond to
- numeric values in Line Edit controls in Replicator's preferences dialog.
- The exact correspondence for these eight values is shown in Table 1.
-
- ID Preference
- -------------------------------------------------
- $00000001 Duplicate on exact size devices only
- $00000002 Format media only when necessary
- $00000003 Prompt on formatted target disks
- $00000004 Blank screen on formats and writes
- $00000005 Clear errors after disk inserts
-
- $00000006 Verify disk blocks every nth disk
- $00000007 Validate disk files every nth disk
- $00000008 Compare disk images every nth disk
- -------------------------------------------------
- Table 1--ID to Preference Mapping
-
- As an example, a Replicator preferences file that has "Duplicate on exact size
- devices only" turned off, "Format media only when necessary" turned on,
- "Prompt on formatted target disks" turned on, "Blank screen on formats and
- writes" turned off, "Clear errors after disk inserts" turned on, "Verify disk
- blocks every 10 disks," "Validate disk files every zero disks" and "Compare
- disk images every 1 disks" would contain the resources listed in Table 2.
