It should not be used to write to a mounted DOS volume. The data written to the device will almost certainly not be the same as the old data, and the filesystem that has responsibility for the device may misbehave or crash if the data is changed. Dismount the volume before writing to the device !! ************************************************* Command Syntax: F=From/K/A, B=Blocks/N, K=KB/S, M=MB/S, T=To/K/A, U=Unit/N From: Enter the name of the file that is to be written to the device. This argument is required. Blocks: Enter the number of blocks to be transferred. This argument is optional - if you leave it out, the program will read the whole file and write it to the target device. KB/MB: Enter exactly ONE of these arguments if you want to specify a block size. They specify the size of the "blocks" in kB or MB. One (and only one) argument is permitted, but is only required in conjunction with the "Blocks" argument. To: Enter the name of the device (ie the Exec device, eg "usbdisk.device"). This argument is required. Unit: Enter the Unit number of the device, eg 0, 1, 2, etc. This argument is optional and if omitted, assumes Unit 0. ****** WARNING !! ****** Be sure - be very sure - that what you have entered is what you mean, before you type the Enter key. If you specify the wrong Device or the wrong Unit, you may write over and destroy a volume with important data. ************************************************* Notes: 1 The utility will check that the file exists and has enough data to satisfy the request. If the file does not exist, the operation will not be started. 2 If the (number of blocks * the block size) is greater than the file size, the maximum file size will be used. 3 If the number of blocks and block size are omitted, the program will read the file in blocks of 1 MB, write them to the device, finishing with one partial block to complete the transfer. |
