The new IMGDRIVE includes a total of 4 files, one batch file, two.EXE files (IMGDRIVE.EXE and IMG.EXE), and one instruction file. When running the batch file, the display and activation methods are the same as the old version. The difference from the old version is: when installing multi - disk software, when prompted to insert the second disk after the first disk is installed, directly use the hotkey ALT + right SHIFT to load the second disk, and there is no need to activate IMGDRIVE again to enter the new disk name (ALT + left SHIFT is for decreasing the disk number, ALT + right SHIFT is for increasing the disk number).

When the software installation is completed, run IMG/U to exit IMG.EXE, and then press CTRL + ENTER to exit IMGDRIVE.EXE, so that IMGDRIVE can be removed from the memory.

① IMG.EXE simulates the memory to be used as a floppy drive. After loading, it occupies about 50KB of basic memory and can be loaded into the upper memory. The hotkey is ALT + CTRL + S + D + X. It can read the *.DDI files generated by DDUP and the *.IMG files generated by various versions of HD - COPY into the memory. Because there are hotkeys, software can be installed directly (if you want to unload from the memory, call out the main menu with the hotkey and then press CTRL + ENTER). The disadvantages are that each time you change the disk when installing software, you need to re - enter the file name; it occupies too much basic memory; the hotkey cannot be called out when installing some software, and the compatibility is not very good.
⑦ UNDISK.EXE (1.51 PRO) This is the solution image software I use the most now, because its compatibility is relatively the best, and the supported formats are as many as 13 kinds, namely DUP 3.0, DISKDUPE, HD - COPY 1.7X, QCOPY PRO, COPYQM, HD - COPY 1.7α, DISK IMAGE, DEC DISKETTE, SAB DUPDISK, DCSS COPYEZ, SWDI 3.3, and there are also the most parameters.
⑧ Qiu Zhen Image Companion QZIMG is a new domestic software similar to IMG, which also simulates the memory as a floppy disk to install software, but it has overcome the disadvantages of IMG, and has automatic, semi - automatic, mouse, and hotkey several methods. (Qiu Zhen Image Companion is not a free software, and it is available at the Software Department of Computer News).

The software listed in ②~⑦ above all directly extract the image files to the hard disk, and the usage format is: UN??? file name . After extracting the image files on the CD - ROM to the hard disk, if it needs to be installed under DOS, use SUBST.EXE to simulate the directory as a floppy drive, and then install. Therefore, for the software that needs to be installed, it is not as convenient to use as IMG and QZIMG.
