(Pro/AutoPro)
DiskDupe's text editor allows you to list the image files that
you want to include in your set. In addition to the image files, you can list
the number of copies you want to make of each image. However, if you do not
specify any number, the value in Copies is used.
Either go into File|New to create a new set or File|Open to edit an existing
set. Enter the name of a .DDS file to create or edit, or type *.DDS to display
a list of existing .DDS files in the current directory.
If the image files that you want to include in your set have already been
created, you can select them by pressing [F7] (Dos only). If they do not already
exist, you will need to type in their names manually, pressing [Return]
after each image file name. When entering in the image file names manually,
if the image files that you are using are not in the same directory as
DiskDupe then also include their path. A typical set file might look like this:
;Product AcmeSoft 5.0
C:\IMAGES\DiskA.DDI
C:\IMAGES\DiskB.DDI
C:\IMAGES\DiskC.DDI
Use [F2] (Dos only) to save a set file and [Alt][F3] (Dos only) to close it.
The semicolon on the first line of the set is a user-comment and will be
displayed, just like a description for an image file, when the set file is
selected.
If a number appears after an image file name in a set, that image will be
repeated by that number when the set is copied. If no number is listed after
the image file name, then only one copy of that image will be made per set.
As an example, the following set will make one copy of image DiskA, two
copies of image DiskB, and three copies of image DiskC.
C:\IMAGES\DiskA.DDI
C:\IMAGES\DiskB.DDI,2
C:\IMAGES\DiskC.DDI,3
A use for the above set might be for replenishing shareware disks, or any
time another program is generating set files and passing them to DiskDupe.
Note: if DiskDupe sees a set with a quantity after any image, it will
deactivate collation and set the number of copies to one. Using the above
example, the sequence and number of copies would be DiskA, DiskB, DiskB, DiskC,
DiskC, DiskC. See Collation and Sets for information
regarding collation.
