ImageDisk 1.08 posted

Hi Guys, I've just posted another update to my ImageDisk program to my site. The main improvement is that I have added a new program called BIN2IMD which allows you to create .IMD images from raw binary sector dumps (such as you can get from many other formats, emulators or just by "taking apart" another format image). It's pretty flexible, and can make mixed format disks etc. ussing sets of rules you give it telling which sectors from the binary file go to what tracks/sectors on the disk. This is essentially the opposite function to the /B option I added to IMDU in the last release. I have used it to make physical disks from binary images sources which were not previously .IMD format, and it has proven very useful. Also, since ImageDisk is getting quite mature, I have added a manual, separate I have also made some minor cosmetic fixes, spelling corrections, and improved the file selection manual entry mode in ImageDisk so that you can directly access files from other paths. For anyone who doesn't already know: ImageDisk is a program for archiving and restoring soft-sector floppy disks to image files using the PC floppy controller hardware. It is compatible with any format which can be read/written by the PC hardware (including mixed mode/density formats). The image file format is fully documented, allowing you to access the data from the diskette by other means if you need to.
