Disk Disintegrator Version 2.7 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
New Features:
|
|
------------
|
|
FORMAT: A new format option now supports 35, 36, and 40 track disks. The
|
|
40 track option frees up 608 sectors, but will only work correctly on
|
|
Non-Apple drives. Most Apple drives do, however, support the 36 track
|
|
option which formats 544 sectors. If those two fail (I/O Errors) then
|
|
you can use either of the 35 track formats. The first of these formats
|
|
a disk with the standard 528 sectors, while the second formats a 528
|
|
sector disk, but uses 14 sectors usually allocated to the catalog,
|
|
giving you 542 sectors. The second format only allows you 7 filenames
|
|
on the disk.
|
|
|
|
DELETE: This option is selected from the main menu, and simply lets you
|
|
delete files. You will be prompted for source or target, and then can
|
|
select the files to delete with the lightbar. Press <ESC> when you are
|
|
done.
|
|
|
|
FASTLOADER: DDD 2.7 is now equipped with a fastloader and reads itself in
|
|
much faster than the old version. This loader will work in Diversi-DOS,
|
|
|
|
Standard DOS 3.3, Sider DOS, and probably all other versions of DOS 3.3
|
|
avaliable.
|
|
|
|
FILETYPE: To make ProDOS conversions of packed files easier, DDD 2.7 now
|
|
writes its object file to disk as an "R" filetype (Relocatable). This
|
|
originally appeared in The Screamer's DDD 2.5R, and was done in good
|
|
taste, and for a good reason.
|
|
|
|
Apology:
|
|
-------
|
|
We would like to apologize for the little bit of protection added to the
|
|
code for DDD. The reason for adding this protection is all the people with
|
|
sector editors who think releasing a new version of a program means changing
|
|
the version number and names on the title page.
|
|
If you want to make any modifications to DDD, contact Radioactive Snail
|
|
or Data Latch on the Last Dimension and we will see about getting you the
|
|
source code so you can do it right.
