Arrangement File

Arrangement files are basically short text files describing the data to be loaded. You can "glue" together different data sources.

Example 1:

;Arrangement file
;
,c:\diskimg1.img:
,c:\diskimg2.img:

This example will open c:\diskimg1.img and c:\diskimg2.img as one data source. If c:\diskimg1.img was 100 sectors in size and c:\diskimg2.img was 200 sectors in size the opened data source is 300 sectors in size.

Example 2:

;Arrangement file
;
,c:\diskimg1.img:0-50
,c:\diskimg2.img:10-

This example will open c:\diskimg1.imgÆs first 51 sectors and c:\diskimg2.imgÆs sectors 10-end (190 if sizes are as in example 1) as one data source.

Example 3:

;Arrangement file
;
0-999,c:\diskimg1.img:
,c:\diskimg2.img:

This example will open c:\diskimg1.imgÆs 100 sectors, insert 900 Null-sectors and open c:\diskimg2.imgÆs 200 sectors as one data source.

Example 4:

;Arrangement file
;
0-10,A:
,HD128:
,HD129:100-100
,NULL:0-99
,FD0:50-

This example will use A:Æs sectors in 0-11, all sectors of HD128:, sector 100 of HD129, 100 Null-sectors and sectors 50 and up from FD0:
