VERSION 1.1 ENHANCEMENTS TO DISKANL.COM
The automatic diskette-detection algorithm has been
improved. When determining whether a diskette has 40 or 80
tracks, DISKANL now attempts to read ALL sectors on tracks 40 AND
41 before deciding that a diskette contains 80 tracks. Before,
DISKANL would only read one sector on track 40.
The command-line parser has been improved. Specifying
something on the command with no valid drive letters will no
longer cause unpredicatable operation.
The following command-line options are now available. They
are useful if a copy protection scheme fools DISKANL's diskette
recognition algorithm:
/1 forces DISKANL to treat the diskette as single-sided.
/4 forces DISKANL to read only 40 tracks (as on 5 1/4" DS/DD
diskettes) even if the program thinks there are 80.
/8 forces DISKANL to read only 8 sectors per track
(DOS 1.x format).
/9 forces DISKANL to read only 9 sectors per track (DS/DD
format).
