Short description
XDSKF builds self-extracting executables from
diskette image files. A welcome text can be
attached to a XDSKF executable to be
displayed before diskette extraction. As
Family API Application (FAPI) programs the
created XDSKF executables can run under OS/2,
eComStation and DOS.
Overview The XDSKF package provides a self-extraction extension for DSK files (diskette image files created with
SAVEDSKF or EMT4OS2). For the task of extracting the image to a diskette using this extension, the LOADDSKF
program is being embedded in XDSKF self-extracting diskette image executables.
A text can be attached to a XDSKF executable file that is to be displayed before extraction of the diskette
image. This text can be provided in several languages, in this case the language is selected accordingly to the
language of the system where the self-extracting diskette image executable is being executed.
Both the program MKXDSKF used to create XDSKF files and the created programs can run under OS/2 or
eComStation and DOS (so also under Windows), as they are so-called 16-bit Family API programs (FAPI). The
drawback of that solution is that it can execute in character mode only, but this is mostly sufficient for this
simple task anyway.
