NAME

lifaddhdr - a filter to add Anadisk-style headers to a LIF image

SYNOPSIS

lifaddhdr < Input file > Output file

DESCRIPTION

lifaddhdr is a filter that reads a standard LIF disk image (as produced by lifimage ) and adds an 8-byte header before the data of each sector in the image. This header is identical to the one used by the shareware MS-DOS disk analysis program, Anadisk The original disk image is read from standard input, and the modified disk image is written to standard output See the lifaddhdr source code for details of the header format.

REFERENCES

The header format is also documented in the Anadisk documentation produced by Sydex

BUGS

This program has not been tested against a real Anadisk image, since I have no way to run that program. No attempt has been made to handle bad track replacements in the LIF disk image, the image is assumed to consist of the first 77 cylinders of the LIF disk.
