- Res revision 2.0 by S. Ostrander.
-
- This is public domain; The user assumes all responsibility for the correct use
- of this program.
-
-
- Purpose: A replacement for the dos RESTORE command.
-
- Usage: RES inputfile outputfile
-
- examples: RES a:backup.arc c:backup.arc
- RES a:test.exe test.exe
- RES test.exe test.tmp
-
-
- warnings: It is illegal to have the inputfile and the outputfile names being
- the same unless the source and destination drives/path are different
-
- There is no provision for the swapping of disks in a single floppy
- drive system.
-
- Res can not handle backed up files that extend accross two or more
- floppy disks.
-
- If a backed up file extends accross two or more disks use the following method:
-
- RES a:example.arc example.1
- <switch disks>
- RES a:example.arc example.2
- <switch disks>
- RES a:example.arc example.3
- copy /b example.1 + example.2 + example.3 example.arc
-
- Why would you want to use Res?
- 1) sometimes restore won't restore a file. Res will.
- 2) The dos restore command when restoring will only put the file back
- into the same subdirectory that it was backedup from. Res will use
- any subdirectory during restoration.
-
- Res was developed on an IBM PC compatible under MSDOS 3.2. It should work
- on earlier versions of DOS.
