The following text came with an older version of RAWRITE2,
it explains how to use RAWRITE2.

=============================================================================
RAWRITE2 is a floppy image file writer/creator. It is written in pascal and
compiles with Turbo Pascal 6 or later. A port to free pascal is planned
in the near future.

It is intended to allow the user to create raw images from a floppy or dump
such images to floppy, supporting not only standard formats (360KB, 720KB or
1.44 MB) but a lot more: all fdformat and 2m formats, and any other giving
number of tracks and sectors.

It runs actually under DOS 3.2 or later, Win9x and WinNT (since WinNT only
supports standard formats you only will be able to use such formats under
this inoperating system).

To use 2m formats you will need to install the 2m tsr before using
rawrite2, but DOS 6.2 and later directly supports all fdformat formats.

Since it writes raw images, you always have to supply the floppy format on
a command line option. If the floppy is DOS (FAT) formatted, the program
can be instructed to read the floppy size from the boot sector. If no size
option is given, then a standard 1.44 MB floppy will be supposed.
Run rawrite2 with no parameters to get a help screen.

CHANGELOG

1.1: 8/5/2000
Added a lot more of /Fxxx
Added some more checking to detect hard disks and subst/network units
Added /N switch to use dos int 25 & 26 instead BIOS int 13
Now it can have several (max 10) input files if dumping image to floppy (works
like unix command "cat file1 file2 ..fileN")
The help screen have been expanded a bit.

1.0: 23/4/2000
First release published.

=============================================================================
RAWRITE2 ver 1.1   8-5-2000
A floppy disk image utility
This program is (C) Miguel Angel Alvarez Cruz and is distributed under GPL 2.0
Use only at your own risk!
Usage:
To make a disk image:		RAWRITE2 U: file [options]
To copy a image to disk:	RAWRITE2 file [file file ...] U: [options]
 		"U:" is A: or B: floppy drive
		"file" is the image file name
		"options" is one of
			/Fxxx	for xxx size floppy (default 1.44 MB)
			/R	read size from sector 0 (only DOS floppies)
			/N      do not use BIOS, use DOS instead
		or a combination of
			/Txx	xx=number of tracks (max 84, default=80)
			/Sxx	xx=number of sectors (default=18)
			/Bxxx	xxx=sector size in bytes (default=512)
			/Hx	x=number of heads (1 or 2, default=2)

The destination disk must be previously formatted

Note: for non standard formats you will need the 2m or fdread utilities
      Unfortunately Windows NT only supports standard floppy formats
Note2: for any format but 1.44 Mb you should supply the format option
       both reading or writing an image file, since the images are raw

Floppy sizes option
       /F360          360 KB (old 5" floppy)
       /F720          720 KB 
       /F800          800 KB (fdformat)
       /F820          820 KB (fdformat)
       /F120          1.2 MB (5" floppy)
       /F144          1.44 MB (default)
       /F148          1.48 MB (fdformat)
       /F160          1.6 MB (fdformat)
       /F164          1.64 MB (fdformat)
       /F168          1.68 MB (fdformat)
       /F172          1.72 MB (fdformat)
       /F180          1.8 MB (2m)
       /F188          1.88 MB (2m /m)

Some examples:
Make a 1.44 MB floppy image:                rawrite2 a: image.144
Make a 1.72 MB floppy image:                rawrite2 a: image.172 /f172
Dump the last image to floppy:              rawrite2 image.172 a: /f172
Make an image of a DOS unknown floppy:      rawrite2 a: image.img /r
Dump several files to floppy:               rawrite2 file1 file2 a:
