Very nice work jason

I also like the batch scanner

OddbOd · 15 October 2008, 18:26

Brilliant, 1.20 works very well.

jasonver2.0 · 16 October 2008, 11:01

Updated to fix a bad bug

jasonver2.0 · 22 October 2008, 11:24

I posted a new version of my program - 1st post.

If you dont like a change or would like to suggest something please tell me. I will work on a bootblock storage mechanism soon - my current programming knowledge may not be enough

DH · 22 October 2008, 12:01

I like it

the more the changes and additions the better it becomes. Keep up the good work

BippyM · 22 October 2008, 12:12

I can't wait for it to grow into a fully fledged, working adf reader and filesystem viewer (ie can read files on ADF's)

Good job anyway

TCD · 22 October 2008, 12:14

I will have a look later, but I'm sure it's nice

Have a look at XML

Or you could make your own storage filetype. Would like to have a glimpse at the source if you decide to do so

jasonver2.0 · 02 November 2008, 08:27

New version again post #1 as usual - hope you like it

XMLSerialization \ Binary Serialization can be usefull for small projects like this.

Checksum is not a byte value it's a ulong i.e. 4 bytes, other than that nice work.

EvilCensor · 02 November 2008, 16:53

Nice little program, thanks very much for the work you put into it

hit · 02 November 2008, 22:11

i've googled a bit and found a checksuming routine for VB 5/6. maybe its usefull somehow: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=655

Edit: here a "homemade" checksuming algorithm: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...63766&lngWId=1

Have to agree and with hope it's heading in that direction.

LOL. I'm shortly before the release candidate of MY tool in ANSI-C (which does not require NET, but would probably run perfectly on Windows 95!

) and this tool really seems very similar to mine!

Yours truly should've been a LOT faster
