Short: Non-DOS disks handler. Author: tser1500@cdc8g5.cdc.polimi.it Uploader: tser1500 cdc8g5 cdc polimi it Type: util/cdity Architecture: m68k-amigaos CatchDisk is a simple commodity: its purpose is to detect when a new disk is inserted in any drive and check if it is properly formatted: if not, CatchDisk executes the Format program with the drive, in which the disk was inserted, already selected. The user only has to choose the format options and start or abort the operation. Besides, from v1.20 CatchDisk can recognize various non-DOS disks and ignore them, or run a user-chosen program when they are inserted. CatchDisk supports the localization feature of AmigaOS 2.1 and later (Italian, English and German, with full docs and install script) and can recognize non-Amiga disk formats (such as MS-DOS) if you have the proper dos-driver (e.g. PCx: etc.). Version 1.20 fixes some bugs and has some new features: - Ability to identify non-DOS disks and take user-defined actions. - Optional requesters before any action is taken. - Ability to run a user-defined format program. - German language support (big thanks to Jan-Claas Dirks). IMPORTANT --------- To use CatchDisk you must have the WBStart-Handler in you L: directory. You need VERSION 1.4 OR LATER of the handler. WBStart-Handler is a freely distributable software by Stefan Becker: you can find it as 'WBStart1_4.lha' in many FTP sites or from PD distributors. Please note that the version required is at least v1.4, because previous versions had problems when dealing with null locks.
