- o QUICK DESCRIPTION
-
- Store/retrieve a large file on several volumes
-
- o ARGUMENT DESCRIPTION
-
- volume /i <volume name> ["/p=<command>[,del]"]
- volume /o <volume name> <input file> ["/p=<command>[,del]"]
-
- o NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
-
- The VOLUME utility writes a file to an output device, and breaks the
- file into multiple volumes if the file size exceeds the capacity of
- the output device. VOLUME also reads an volume from a device, and
- the volume may be contained on multiple removable media. The volume
- name must be specified without an extension as VOLUME will append an
- extension to indicate the volume number.
-
- VOLUME does not archive or compress files, but it will call your
- favorite archiver or compress program for you.
-
- Output mode:
-
- If any files are contained on the removable media, they will not
- be affected in any way. VOLUME uses the DOS file system on the
- media instead of raw data transfer, allowing the storage of
- other files on the media.
-
- The first volume will contain the files, <name>.0 and <name>.1,
- where <name> is the name you have chosen for the volume. The
- next volume will contain <name>.2, and so forth. The last
- volume will contain <name>.n and <name>, where n is the last
- volume number and <name> is an empty file signifying that this
- volume contains the last piece of the file.
-
- If a preprocessor command option (/p) is specified, then the
- specified "command" will be executed (usually an archiver) before the

-
- volume creation is commenced. If the ",del" option is added to the
- postprocessor option, the input file will be deleted upon
- successful completion of "command." The /p option argument should be
- quoted to preserve any spaces embedded in "command."
-
- Input mode:
-
- The volumes need to be read in the order they were created.
-
- If a postprocessor command option (/p) is specified, then the
- specified "command" will be executed (usually a de-arhiver) after the
- volumes are read. If the ",del" option is added to the postprocessor
- option, the input file (as restored to the current directory) will be
- deleted upon successful completion of "command." The /p option
- argument should be quoted to preserve any spaces embedded in
- "command."
