Utility for copying INTO an ADF

[Galahad/FLT]

UnADF is a great utility for extracting files from an ADF disk image, means the user doesn't have to bother writing the disk to floppy just to extract a file for a WHDLoad installation (like a demo for instance).

Some games have loads of different startup-sequences, for instance, Sim City, there are approximately 10 different versions of this game, from differing executable main files, to different startup-sequences.

In my WHDLoad install I have had to make it so that the User backs up their disk first, then copies the contents of a directory onto their backup disk, and then image it. This is all a lot of time wasted writing down to a floppy, when maybe someone knows of a utility that will enable me to simply copy new files into the ADF itself.

I am after something like UnADF, as its small, you pass a simple parameter to and it does its job with no problems, I'm not interested in some stupid 80-400k util to do this simple job.

I dont want the user to have to do anything, I pass parameters in the install process, and the util does the work.

I also don't want to code something if someone has already done it.

So, anyone know of an existing util thatwill do the job?

hmmm, this doesn't do quite what you want but it is very useful for messing around with ADF's, I basically lets you mount an ADF as a real device

HFmounter and VF2000 also do a similar job but they both use an assigned directory and only allow 12 or 32 images respectivly, whereas diskimage lets you load any image from anywhere (DD/HD, CD ISO's etc.)...

maybe you could use the 'diskimage.device' to do what you want, it should seriously cut down and code you might need to write
