Extracting file from disk image
Extract is a file in disk image extraction utility. An image is a file which
contains all the floppy data (file, FATs, boot sector, directory...). You can
create an image file with WinImage (a Windows 3.1 or Windows NT
shareware I wrote which create and manage image file, and has a
superset of Extract functionnality) and a lot of Dos based disk copy
utility : Wimage (in FdFormat utility) from C.H. HochstΣtter, DrDos 6 and
OS/2 2.x diskimage utility, DCF (Disk Copy Fast) from Chang Ping Lee,
DF (Disk Image File Utility) from Mark Vitt, Super-DiskCopy from Super
Software, SabDu from S.A. Berman, Disk-RW from K. Hartnegg,
DiskDupe (from Micro System Design), internal disk Microsoft and Lotus
image utility and MFMT sample Windows NT application given with
Windows NT SDK.
80 % of the diskcopy tools which can make image I test are compatible
with Extract and WinImage.
Note that WinImage read all the image file created by these software, except
DiskDupe (this will be fixed in WinImage 1.10).
