       !! New feature of DataComp 2.10 !! 
      


Now you have an opportunity to use special file as
a file describing image files using (instead of specifying drive letters
in command line).In addition this feature allows you to use arbitrary
file names for DataComp image files.

Usage :

1. In system configuration file (config.sds for S/DOS, config.sys for MS_DOS)
specify full path to datacomp configuration file.
Note that it's necessary to place /F switch before pathname to inform
DataComp about presence of configuration file

For example :
device = c:\datacomp\datacomp.eng /F c:\datacomp.ini

2. Configuration file contents :

<start-of-file>

<global-switches> <cr>

<image-file-specifier> <cr>
[ <image-file-specifier> <cr> ...]

<end-of-file>

where
<global-switches> ::= /X | /II
 meaning :
 /X - do not use XMS
 /II - force second instance installation

<image-file-specifier> ::= <drive-letter>:<name> <local-switches>
<drive-letter> ::= a|A | b|B |...| z|Z
<name> is an ordinary DOS file name without path for hard disks
	or is empty for diskettes

<local-switches> ::= /W | /SUBST
 meaning :
 /W - make DataComp disk write-protected
 /SUBST - substitute DataComp disk for host disk on which it is situated

Also see: datacomp.ini as example.
