- FILE FORMAT
-
- A Replicator file is an extended file with an empty data fork. The resource
- fork should contain the following resources:
-
- Res Type Resource ID Contents Description
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- $0001 $00000001 Bytes The disk image, as read with a DRead
- GS/OS call.
- $0002 $00000001 Long The block count of the disk, as
- returned by a GS/OS Volume call.
- $0003 $00000001 Word The block size of the disk, as
- returned by a GS/OS Volume call.
- $0004 $00000001 Word Corresponds to the state of the
- Replicator disk window's "Number of
- copies" radio buttons. If this word
- is zero, the "Mass copy" radio button
- is selected; otherwise, the "Number of
- Copies" radio button is selected.
- $8006 $00000001 String Name of the disk volume as returned by
- rPString a GS/OS Volume call, with spaces on
- both sides of the name, as Replicator
- uses this string in a window title.
- $8006 $00000002 String Name of the file system the disk was
- rPString formatted with. You can use the
- fileSysID GS/OS returns to match the
- name of the file system to those
- returned by GetFSTInfo.
- $8006 $00000003 String Textual representation of the block
- rPString count.
- $8006 $00000004 String Textual representation of the block
- rPString size.
- $8016 $00000001 Bytes The number of copies to make.
- rText Replicator inserts this text into the
- "number of copies" Line Edit control
- in the disk window.
- $8029 $00000001 Bytes The minimum version of Replicator
- rVersion necessary to read this document. The
- only defined version is 1.0. The
- non-version fields of the rVersion
- resource should be set so the Finder
- displays "Requires Replicator
- <version>".
- $802A $00000001 Bytes Any comments to place in the
- rComment "Comments" TextEdit box in the disk
- window, and also shown by the Finder
- in "Icon Info." This resource is
- optional.

- As an example, a Replicator document of a 128K ProDOS RAM disk named ":RAM5",
- set to make five copies with "Mass copy" turned off and containing no comments
- would contain the following resources:
