Synopsis:
WWarp filename[.wwp] [command] [tracks] [args] [options...]
commands:
SOME COMMANDS ARE CURRENTLY NOT IMPLEMETED OR INCOMPLETE, Sorry!
C - create wwarp file (default)
this will read the disk in the floppy drive and create a image
from, if [tracks] has been specified only these tracks will be
read
D - dump tracks
displays info about the specified track and displays the mfm-data
(or decoded data if type is not 'raw'), if there is a sync set in
the wwarp file the mfm-data will be displayed shifted to the first
sync
args = [sync[&mask]][,[syncno][,[len][,off]]]
sync[&mask] - the track will be shiftet to that sync and then
displayed
syncno - if multiple syncs are found, the number of the sync
to use for display (first sync is 1)
len - amount of bytes to display
off - offset to start display, can be negative e.g. to view
bytes before the sync
leadings args can be ommited, e.g. use ,,16 to see first the
16 bytes
F - try to decode the specified [tracks] as standard format (much less
restrictive than the routine used in command C)
I - print informations about wwarp file and tracks contained
L - set track length
sets the data length which should be written back to disk. this
length is stored in the wwarp file and will be used on command 'W'
(see below), this operation does not modify the stored track data
in the wwarp file, this command doesn't work with tracks which are
not of type 'raw' of course
M - merge two wwarp files together
P - pack wwarp file
this removes all unneccessary data from the wwarp file, all tracks
of type 'raw' and a valid 'Length' and 'Sync' will be stored
starting with 'Sync' and the length 'Length', removed data is lost
forever, so be careful
R - remove tracks from wwarp file
deletes the specified [tracks] from the wwarp file, the tracks are
lost forever, so be careful
S - save tracks
W - write wwarp file to disk
Y - set sync
sets the syncronization word to write the track with wordsync back
to a floppy disk, the sync consists of 16 byte data and 16 byte
mask. both, data and mask must be given as hexadecimal in the form
"data&mask", mask can be omitted and will then be calculated from
the data value
tracks:
will be used to specify which tracks should be affected by the command
1-5 tracks 1,2,3,4,5
2,90 tracks 2 and 90
2*2 tracks 2,4,...,156,158
10-20*5 tracks 10,15,20
1-5,7,99-104*2 tracks 1,2,3,4,5,7,99,101,103
* all tracks
options:
BPT=BytesPerTrack/K - amount of bytes to rawread and write to the
wwarp file if nothing will be detected, default $6c00
Unit/N/K - trackdisk.device unit number, 1 for DF1: etc.
NoStd/S - dont try to detect any known formats
RetryCnt/N/K - number of read retries before a track is stored as
'nonsingle' 'raw'
Tips & Tricks
-------------
* to check if right sync has been set use:
wwarp abc.wwp d 2-159 ,,32
which will display the first 32 mfm bytes of the selected tracks
