Re hxj:

There's nothing to admire about this. I study and research it because I'm also interested in it. When I encounter a like-minded person, it's natural that I won't let go :-)

The size limit of WinImage I mentioned refers to the limit when creating an Image file with it, not the limit when opening or editing an Image file; the same goes for the size limit of IMG.EXE we just discussed.

Just now, I looked up the webpage of MagicISO and found that it also supports creating, editing, and extracting floppy disk images. But I haven't had a chance to test it yet, and I don't know if it supports command lines and non-standard images. The links are as follows: http://www.free-news-release.com/Floppy-Image-Creator---MagicISO-Detail_717.html

The Miso.exe I use to add files to ISO images is extracted from the installation directory of Magic ISO you mentioned. It is a DOS version file that can add extracted files or directories to ISO images under 300MB (the registered version has no such limit) using command methods under DOS. It's a very useful software!
I originally hoped it could also support adding files to IMG images, but it doesn't work. It only recognizes ISO format image files! It seems I have to find another way to overcome the last obstacle for the new function of my software (automatic file update)!!

Thanks again to the moderator, and I wish this section of the forum to become a paradise for those seeking solutions to DOS difficult problems to solve their problems!!

Re hxj:

Confirmed via http://www.winimage.com/wima_sdk.htm: "The WinImage SDK is a Win32 DLL". So, if someone can develop a DOS-based WinImage SDK Shell, then they will have developed quite a few Windows software alternatives for DOS.

But it should be quite possible to make it a Windows command-line program.

Thanks to moderator Willsort:
You still remembered my this question, very grateful! Indeed, it is difficult to develop such software under DOS. I have taken another path and found a temporary way to solve my problem (that is, automatically adding replacement files to a non-standard large IMG in the CMD window in batch files): that is, to call the command running mode of Winimage to complete this purpose: start /wait /min %Programfiles%\WinImageWinImage XXX.img %CD%\AVASTDOS\*.* /i /y. I originally thought that WinImage had no command-line usage. In fact, looking at the software's help file, it turns out that there is a command-line usage.
This method can only be used under the DOS of Windows, and the biggest problem is that the system must also have WinImage installed, which cannot be applicable to the situation of all users' machines, so it is not the final solution I am looking for, and I still need to continue to find the DOS software I really need.

What tigerpower mentioned about CDImage can be used to make ISO. I have used MISO.EXE to achieve this goal. Now what is needed is a DOS software that can add files to a large-capacity IMG image under DOS. CDImage may not work (not tried)

Re hxj:

News from Yesky (http://www.yesky.com/SoftChannel/72350068425883648/20031126/1748149_6.shtml) confirms: "We can use CDIMAGE to create ISO files, but CDIMAGE cannot add new files to an existing ISO file. And you can only create one ISO file at a time."

As for WinImage SDK Shell for DOS, it is estimated that no one will take over this project in the short term, and the miso.exe (MagicISO) and winimage.exe (WinImage) found by the thread starter are both products under WinDOS. Since your problem has been temporarily solved, why not close the thread now?

My problem can be closed temporarily. I'll come back to discuss when I find a real software that can add files to IMG under DOS!
But one more thing: Although MISO.EXE is a file in MagicISO, it can only be used in Windows, but it has an advantage that it can be used alone (that is, you can use it without installing MagicISO), and the file is not large. So it is still very valuable to use it in the DOS window of Windows for batch file processing of ISO file updates and generation!
