How to make an IMG file in pure DOS (7.1 or 6.22)?

Need the command-line method, no graphical interface~

Also, after the system boots, can the img image mounted by grub operate on the img file of the image, such as deleting, renaming...?

How to make an IMG of non-standard size (XXMB)? Is there a corresponding tool under pure DOS?

Well, I'm writing a system ghost environment for a little girl, so there are a bit more questions. Hehe~

I have some management information to write back to the hard disk~ It's best to write back to the image~ And can be read directly~ Is there a way?

Is it possible to use WinImage to create a system Ghost environment?

Use winimage to write the system ghost environment,

What I want to talk about in this topic is the hope for having "dosimage"

I don't know how the old folks in the DOS era solved the img issues

I'm also looking for relevant software. Under pure DOS, in command-line mode, to solve the problem of accessing and storing IMG format files

If only for generating and releasing floppy disk image files in command line mode, wimage can do it, for example:

wimage a: boot.img
wimage boot.img a:

DOS, command line, both indispensable, heh heh.

Nothing is wrong?

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, I mistook it for winimage.
Oh, there's also a wimage? I'm ignorant, I've never seen it.

I've googled for a long time and still didn't find the explanation of wimage.

WIMAGE and FDFORMAT are by the same author, and the functions of WIMAGE are basically the same as HD-COPY.

WIMAGE-Write Disk to File/Read Disk from File-V1.21
Copyright (c) 1988 - 1991, Christoph H. Hochst則ter

Syntax is: WIMAGE <drive>: <file> (write Diskette to file)
WIMAGE <file> <drive>: (read Diskette from file)

Exapmles: WIMAGE A: C:\DISKS\MYDISK.360
WIMAGE C:\DISKS\DOS330.144 A:

I only have these two executable files alone, but not the complete distribution package. I wonder who has it.

Got it, let's take a look. Thanks for providing it.

The problem is that this wimage only supports reading and writing floppy disk images from the floppy drive. If you want to add or reduce content in the image, there is no way. Although winimage provides the corresponding SDK, it is only suitable for the Windows environment. There really hasn't appeared a command line under DOS.
