China DOS Union

Brother GOTOmsdos, now that your TOdisk has the website promotion from Brother johnsonlam, it's a great opportunity. Keep up the good work to develop a more powerful, stable, and faster TOdisk. Also, hope more people join the testing. Original works need everyone's support!

Thanks to brother fastslz for the encouragement, you are the first supporter of my little program!
Writing this little program is mainly out of interest. If someone can try it out and pay attention to it, I will feel quite satisfied, heh heh.

I've looked at the simplified Chinese page, it's pretty good, I didn't find any problems. Regarding the webpage, I don't know much. Also, however, in the English and Chinese help, it seems that the original version is used (mainly still using dto/pto parameters, etc. The new version has no such things anymore.)

Just released an updated version: TOdisk-1.1 alpha

The update content is as follows:
1
Removed the part supporting the basic 13 interrupt (since it was not used in the program). This will greatly reduce the program bytes.
2
Canceled the function of adjusting the order of reading and writing originally adopted in the read and write from device to device (without file parameters) because this function has become redundant after using the TO parameter.
3
In the n switch, when continuing to the next task in case of an error, it is changed from not updating the task quantity to updating the task quantity. This is more reasonable and more in line with the user's needs.
4
Added display information during the running process.
5
Corrected a discovered bug:
When performing multi-task operations on the hard disk (using hard disk parameters), if the starting sector of the operated hard disk is 0, this parameter will not be updated when it is completed.
6
Streamlined some unnecessary code and reasonably adjusted the order of some code.

Supplement:
During the update process, a strange problem was encountered:
In 1.0 alpha, the memory of several structures allocated by the malloc function that were no longer used was not freed (but the operation was quite stable). In this version, the originally unused memory was freed,
However, after compilation, it sometimes runs abnormally and causes a crash.
I don't know the reason, it's still unknown. Later, I had to cancel the release.

Just released TOdisk-1.2a version.

The updates of this version are as follows:
1. Except for decompressing multi-volume images to the hard disk/partition without specifying the number of operation sectors, the amount of MB in the task is displayed during operation.
2. Even if there is no n parameter, if a read or write disk error is encountered, a prompt asking whether to ignore is given, so that when the user does not give the n parameter, there is also an opportunity to ignore minor read or write disk errors.
3. A small BUG in the previous version is corrected:
If the file parameter of the target location does not have a sector operand and is followed by a parameter group, even if it is a matching mode (with -d or -p parameter), an illegal warning is given.
4. Specifically, when there is an n parameter and it is a free mode and an exit error is encountered, the completed task amount is updated when continuing to the next task.
5. In the display of the partition summary table, GB/MB are all changed to MB, so as to avoid the defect that 1.9G is only displayed as 1G (due to considering the volume of the program, floating points are not used).

Please, Brother GOTOmsdos, take some time to write a brief introduction. Now, what is the usage of it? Some people may not recognize what functions TOdisk has and what it can do.... But the instructions are too detailed.

I think the documentation can be better, after all, it's still the beginning.

This summer I don't know what to do, the company is extremely busy, so I neglected it.
I will update it as soon as possible!

Continue to follow..........

Updated, no time to make it better, please forgive.
Feels better, but is there a way to simplify it more?

Can this be used to back up and restore an entire partition?

Give it a thumbs up, support you.
I remember there was an open-source program before, called DDCOPY version 1.65, which is similar to the one the楼主 shared. You can search for it and draw on its programming ideas!

Of course it can

Bump, support you.

1
The program has all the functions of DDCOPY.

2
The program has functions that DDCOPY doesn't have. They are mainly:
a
Support logical booters of extended partitions
b
Support multiple sources
c
High compression ratio

In addition, the compression speed of this program is faster than that of DDCOPY
