My immediate thoughts were firstly, can you do the whole process under a Win32 OS and secondly, are you planning to integrate the process into a single app and release it at some stage. I for one would be happy to pay for such an app. I often archive stuff of my twin to DVD using my PC but it takes a long time to capture via tv card and encode to MPEG2 and the quality suffers.

I'm actually now writing the code on Windows and Linux at the same time now, although this is working with a disk image captured unde Linux rather than the mounted disk. The main hurdle I have to cross is adding some per OS code to access the HDD at a low enough level. This is trivial in Linux, and shouldn't be a major problem once I come to do it on Windows, although the two Windows flavours (Win 9X and NT) do differ in how they do this. Once I have the processing of the data working under both I'll add this final Windows disk access part. and secondly, are you planning to integrate the process into a single app and release it at some stage. Initially it'll probably be a command line app, although I'd expect to do a VB app or something that could call out to this and hence provide a GUI interface of sorts. I might factor the code into DLLs so I can make it a little more integrated. I for one would be happy to pay for such an app. I often archive stuff of my twin to DVD using my PC but it takes a long time to capture via tv card and encode to MPEG2 and the quality suffers. I'm doing it more for fun. I hadn't really thought about distributuon. You can probably expect early releases at least to be free. Feel free to buy me a pint when I'm passing though...

Ahh! The memories! How this takes me back ...
Years ago, when every blasted micro used different disk formats (if they used disks at all), I wrote a program in C++ to convert between some of them. The modular design allowed new formats to be added simply by writing a new module. I ended up being able to copy files between any two of DOS, CPC6128 (which had a 5.25" second drive), Commodore PET 9600 (using a Maplin interface to control its drive), and a virtual disk format for a PC-based CPC emulator, and was thus finally able to retrieve all my data from all my old micros before ridding myself of their turbulent nature. I'd offer the code, but as it was DOS and floppy based and the PC module was command-line, it's only likely to be remotely helpful for W9x ... Thanks for the memory though :-) "Ian Clowes" wrote in message ... Mike wrote: Hi Ian, My immediate thoughts were firstly, can you do the whole process under a Win32 OS Hi Broadly, yes.
