DiskFiller V1.1
This utility is useful when you want to put some files on trackload format
It generates sourcecode as well, so you doesn't have to calculate the
offsets yourself.
And now some short instructions 'cause if you doesn't know what trackload is
you doesn't need this program.
First of all you have to select what files you want to write to the disk.
You can either click on the 'Get' button for a requester or type it in
the string gadget to the right of the 'Get' button.
You can add and remove files as you like.
The next step is to determine where on the disk you want to put the files,
and that is totally up to you, I always start at the end of the disk.
You can also choose if it shall write lower tracks -> higher tracks or
vice versa. If you want to begin at the end of the disk then you should
put this in the reverse ('Backwards').
The drive gadget is up to you (I think you manage to figur it out).
Then you can press the 'Do It' button and wait a little while.
After you have write the files you can save the source code, and
that is a VERY clever thing to do (unless you want to spend some time
with your calculator) and the it's just to include the source in your
code and use that with the DoIO function and WHOW...
If you want to clear some sectors on the disk, just switch the write mode
to 'Zeros', enter first and last sector and press 'Do It'.
The 'About' gadget is a really complex little thing, you should try it.

destroying important data, hardware etc. It's up to the user to decide
if he/she want to use it or not.
