WHAT IS WINIMAGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WinImage is a disk image management utility.   A disk image is a file
which contains all  floppy disk data (boot  sector, FATs, directories
and files) of a standard or non-standard format floppy disk.

WinImage  reads and  writes  in the  standard  and non-standard  disk
formats now  in use by  IBM, Microsoft and others, and allows  you to
take advantage  of Windows'95  and Windows NT  4.0 internal  DMF disk
support.

Standard Formats Supported:
160kb, 180kb, 320kb, 360kb, 720kb, 1.2mb, 1.44mb, 2.88mb.

Non-standard Formats Supported:
820kb, 1.68mb, DMF 1024 cluster, DMF 2048 cluster, and 1.72mb.

By making an image of a floppy disk and writing that image to another
floppy disk,  you get an  exact copy of  the original disk.   You can
read a floppy and create an exact image of that floppy as one file on
a hard disk.  Later, without using the original disk, you can extract
a file from the image, just as if you had copied it from the original
floppy disk.  You can write the image to another floppy disk, without
needing the original disk, and have an exact copy of it.

This utility works where DOS diskcopy can not because of non-standard
disk formats.

Format 1.68mb disks  that can be used with Windows'95  and Windows NT
4.0 internal DMF support.

Unlike some other disk image utilities, WinImage's write verification
works! and you imediately know if the copy, or format, was a success.

There is more information on WimImage and disk formats, including DMF
formats, in the online Help.
