-
-
- There is only Win32 version, but this beta normally run under Win32s 1.30c
-
- As the final version will probably be soon released.
- Test it. Only beta tester can help me doing a version without regression bug !
- IT'S IMPORTANT BE SURE THIS NEW VERSION DON'T BROKE FUNCTION THAT WORK WELL IN
- PREVIOUS VERSIONS!

- or 4.0 Standard will be between $25 and $35
-
- Note that all upgrade from 1.0 to 3.0 and, upgrade to 4.0 standard for actual

- start test 1 July and use only even day, you can use until 1 September).
- After, you'll be switched in standard mode.

- You select mode with "WinImage mode selection" in Option menu.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- What is new in WinImage 4.0 standard, since 3.0 :
-
- - Command line option
- - I've written a true wizard (several screen with Next and Previous !)
- as alternative of the Batch assistant dialog box.
- - Batch options can be saved in a .BWZ file
- - Display icon in taskbar when working : when WinImage work on floppy or in
- batch assistant, it display an icon in Win95/NT4 taskbar. It blink
- when user input needed. (see Option->Setting, general Tabs).
- - Automatically show WinImage when user input needed : When user is needed
- (change floppy, error,...), WinImage come in foreground automatically.
- So you can Minimize WinImage during long operation (floppy...), and be
- sure don't forget it! (see Option->Setting, general Tabs).
- - Toolbar button are modern
- - New in this beta : If you have a FAT32 partition (created by Windows 95
- OEMSR2), you cannot read this partition under Windows NTá4.0. With the
- File connect Fat32 drive, you can open your partition under
- WindowsáNTá4.0 (you need Administrative right).
-
- What is added in professional version 4.0 :
- - all feature of standard version
- - Self extractor with unlimited redistribution license (see wima_sfx.txt)
- - We can export the directory of the current image in text or HTML.
- - Print the directory of the image
- - Edit boot sector properties (ie load another boot sector file, edit a text
- in the boot sector...)
- - Support creation of large image of removable and hard disk under Windows NT
- and Windows 95 large image (> 2.88 MB) are not loaded in memory, read and
- write operation are done directly in image file
- --> This is a new and very important option, test it if you can
- --> Feedback (bug or positive is welcome)
-
-
-
