Assuming I'm reading the documentation right, it doesn't look like there is.

what you could do is a small C program that would compute the filesize (the usual fseek(file,0,SEEK_END) ; ftell(file);) and then make a system("...") invokation with the appropriate forged command line.

What you wanna do is easily feasible in BASH or TCSH, but hard in MS-DOS

maybe check the %ERRORLEVEL% variable, it might help you ...

i personnally prepare everything into a single "disk.bin" image file and then use "cat disk.bin >/dev/fd0" ...
I feel no need to do it in DOS/Windows as i have an DOS-version of the loader program which can run Clicker as a DOS program

..

YEp. That could work pretty fine

You don't have to use such sophisticated methods. You just put a size bigger than the file's, and yes, it stops with "Unable to read offset 0A123".

I believe that it even doesn't change the rest of the sector in which the limit occurs.

And, later it works ;D

Hello!
I use dd. First I developed in Linux. There dd is a standard utility. But now I develop in Windows and there I had the problem how to copy files to the raw floppy-disk. I found a dd version for windows (dd.exe). With the followinf command you copy file.bin to floppy (starting with the first sector):
[tt]
dd bs=512 if=file.bin of=/dev/fd0
[/tt]
You can also start at another sector number (e.g. sector 10)
[tt]
dd bs=512 if=file.bin of=/dev/fd0 seek=10
[/tt]

You can find newer versions of DD.exe with google.

Hey,

If you want to see some source code, and design your own setup, then have look at attachment. Contains class file+header+usage.

It is *not* developed by me. All copy rights, acknowledged.
