Multiple Disks

Please note that if your distribution archive requires multiple archive files, you should create a separate, specific FILE_ID.DIZ file for each archive. This can be utilized to describe the various contents of each archive, and to identify each disk in the set. For example, the FILE_ID.DIZ file for disk #1 could contain:

   "MY PROGRAM v1.23 Program Executable
    Files - Disk 1 of 2"
    [followed by detailed description text]

while the FILE_ID.DIZ file for disk #2 could contain:

   "MY PROGRAM v1.23 Documentation Files -
    Disk 2 of 2"
    [followed by more detailed description text]

Optionally, you could also create a "complete" FILE_ID.DIZ file for the first disk, which would fully describe the program in detail, and identify it as Disk 1 of x. Then, for each remaining file in the set, simply include the Program Name, version number and the disk number (i.e. "MY PROGRAM v1.23 Disk 2 of x").
