Hi guys,

Do you know any command line tools that can create a fat32 drive image from the directory tree?

I think it's for linux, or *nix at least. I haven't found a port for windows. :-(

Who said there needed to exist a pre-packaged windows port? I used cygwin to compile windows binaries from source. Works like a charm. :D

So that means I could try compiling myself program like "3D Filesystem browser" and "Tempest for Eliza" to work on Win32? :)
I have somethig heard about Cygwin, and before 3 years when I had no internet connection at my house (you know the cheap internet café's? :)). So I downloaded that thing on two floppies using some splitting program (the machines had no USB port :lol:)
And when I came to home I discovered it's a web installer. :lol:

I have to admit, that I haven't tried... :oops: I assumed, that if no ports exist, then maybe it uses some specific stuff, and can't be easily ported. :-)
