------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disk Disintegrator Version 2.7 Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Features: ------------ FORMAT: A new format option now supports 35, 36, and 40 track disks. The 40 track option frees up 608 sectors, but will only work correctly on Non-Apple drives. Most Apple drives do, however, support the 36 track option which formats 544 sectors. If those two fail (I/O Errors) then you can use either of the 35 track formats. The first of these formats a disk with the standard 528 sectors, while the second formats a 528 sector disk, but uses 14 sectors usually allocated to the catalog, giving you 542 sectors. The second format only allows you 7 filenames on the disk. DELETE: This option is selected from the main menu, and simply lets you delete files. You will be prompted for source or target, and then can select the files to delete with the lightbar. Press when you are done. FASTLOADER: DDD 2.7 is now equipped with a fastloader and reads itself in much faster than the old version. This loader will work in Diversi-DOS, Standard DOS 3.3, Sider DOS, and probably all other versions of DOS 3.3 avaliable. FILETYPE: To make ProDOS conversions of packed files easier, DDD 2.7 now writes its object file to disk as an "R" filetype (Relocatable). This originally appeared in The Screamer's DDD 2.5R, and was done in good taste, and for a good reason. Apology: ------- We would like to apologize for the little bit of protection added to the code for DDD. The reason for adding this protection is all the people with sector editors who think releasing a new version of a program means changing the version number and names on the title page. If you want to make any modifications to DDD, contact Radioactive Snail or Data Latch on the Last Dimension and we will see about getting you the source code so you can do it right.
