Hi! Of course there are DOS versions of DD, as for many GNU tools, for example on www.delorie.com - however, there is a misunderstanding: DD alone does not help you editing disks. The trick is that the Linux kernel lets you access disk devices (for whole disks and for partitions) as if they were files... This is not the case with the DOS kernel. To access DOS block devices, you would use other tools... Which certainly do exist but I know no good example apart from DEBUG ;-). You have similar problems in Windows. Of course you can still do all the fun stuff that DD can do if you have a diskimage as a file, even in DOS and Windows, with the DOS and Windows versions of DD ;-).
>> Alternatively, you could search for a dos port of dd > dd for DOS sounds interesting. Was there ever a DOS port? > There is dd for Windows, does someone got it to run > under HX DOS Extender? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
