Purpose
-------

Write a disk image file to a floppy disk.


Equipment/Software Requirements
-------------------------------

 * PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible with at least 256K of RAM and a floppy disk
   drive.

 * MS-DOS version 3.21 or greater.

 * A formatted diskette.

This program uses well-documented generic low-level DOS and BIOS functions.
It should run on nearly every PC in existance.  PS/2's should be able to run
RaWrite but this has not been tested.
   

CAVEAT
------

This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
information that may have been present.  If you wish to re-use a diskette
that has been written to by RaWrite then that diskette will probably need to
be reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.


Usage
-----

C> RAWRITE

And follow the prompts.  All arguments are case-insensitive.

If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
to swap diskettes as required.  Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
reduce the number of disk swaps.

RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.
