ABOUT THE PROGRAM:HF Finally! No, you are not dreaming, here is the latest packer that %Louis Roy wrote especially for you:8 DISK DISINTEGRATER DeLUXE V5.0; The original !! (nothing less...)DB D.D. DeLUXE is more than a packer, it is a totally new mean of DBcommunication. Effectively, when you will have discovered the new A?ideas included in this program as well as the power of the new FDfeatures, you will never acccept again to use other DDD imitations, 4and you will only swear by D.D.DeLUXE, guaranteed!FD Louis Roy, the author of this program, has completely redesigned FDhis packing algorythm. It packs more and faster! He also included a =;super fast and reliable checksum mechanism to validate the @>integrity of the compressed data. And Louis has designed this ECpackage thinking of the various types of users out there, from the DBfaithfull ][+ users, all the way to the PC transporter //GS users ECof today, without forgetting Sysops, Hard disk and Ram disk users, etc...@> Another significant built-in feature of the program is the ECcapability offered to the packing user to compose, and permanently DBstore in the packed file, an 11 line personnal message, and this, DBplus the built-in checksum and all the new features that you will ECsoon discover, has resulted in a faster packer! As we said before, Dthe world of modem telecommunication will never be the same again!"1.1) D.D.DeLUXE AT A GLANCE:6 o Can pack 5.25, 3.5 800K and 3.5 1.44M disks.A? o Compatible with all PRODOS devices in existance today, (including Ram disks, hard disks, etc..HF o A new feature that permit you to communicate with hundreds of people !A? o Have copy commands that permit you to copy file from a directory to another.F o Have an optimize option to pack even more (only prodos disk)2 o Display time of day on screen, anywhere.@ o Support up to 14 storage units connect to your Apple. = o Will execute on Apple ][+, //e, //c, //c+ and //GS.H o Recognize, and utilizes your 80 columns cards (except for ][+) o Packs more than ever.# o Packs and unpacks faster.& o PRODOS Hard disk compatible. o Window driven.? o Keeps the name of the packer and the date of packing.DB o User friendly, less typing involved thew intelligent user interface. o Built-in checksum.A o Supports all PRODOS commands directly from the program.C o Built-in FORMAT command recognizing all PRODOS devices. A? o Keeps your configuration and personnal message between sessions.( o Full error trapping mechanism.< o Recognizes, and utilizes, any clocks you may have.= o Built-in mini editor to edit your personal message.5 o Packs and unpacks with one or more devices.+ o Allows duplicate volumes on-line.' o Can unpack old DDD 2.1 files. o Easy to use!Specially in version 5.0:0 o Use mouse if you have one (//gs only).EC o D.D.DeLuxe will remember your last drive access so you can &call back the last catalog you made.CA o You can quit faster, anywhere in the program by pressing CTRL-Q.DB o When you format a disk, you can specify a volume name and 1also, the formated disk is now prodos bootable.HF o When you format a 3.5 disk on a //gs, you can now specify the 6interleave you wish to use to get a faster 3.5 disk.IG o The size of the D.D.DeLuxe buffer is now displayed on the main menu screen.DB o You can configure the program to show TXT, REL or/and AWP files in partial catalog mode.HF o When you ask to view DDD info, you can now save the info-file &or you can print it on your printer.EC o You can now view on screen or print on your printer normal =;text files, appleworks AWP files or any other prodos files (view hex bytes).B o In catalog mode, you can execute a SYS program directly.HF o You can now analyse a DDD file without unpack it, to check if the file is good.DB o Now, D.D.DeLuxe can use your full 128k on a //e or //c as %buffer when packing and unpacking. B o On a //gs, D.D.DeLuxe can now use //gs memory as buffer.EC o Each time you pack a 3.5 disk, you can specify a suggested *interleave for the disk you are packing.IG o There is now a "buffer meter" when you pack/unpack. With this ;9meter, you can see D.D.DeLuxe put bytes to the buffer or remove bytes from the buffer. o and more!!1.2) HISTORYGE Most of you have heard of the history of the famous DDD packer, ?=but for the benefit of those that may not, we will recap the acomplishments of Louis Roy:1983: D.D.D. V1.0G Louis Roy, under the alias of DALTON, writes his first packer.DB Immediately this became a huge hit. It became THE de-facto A?standard in the modem world. What made this packer so special? A?Basically, a faster and more effecient packing algorythm and a >things such as a track status bar, built in size appearing in the packed title, etc...1985: D.D.D. V2.1" Correcting a bug in V2.0.1986: D.D.D. V3.0.F Louis wrote this new version of his now legendary packer, butGE decides not to release it. This version supported many of the B@features that you find in DDD V4.0. The personnal message, hard A?disk support, all appeared in that version. It was still using DOS 3.3.?= Why wasn't it released? Because Louis decided to stop <:programming for the Apple all together. Even with the new ?=packer nearing completion, he decided to take a sabatical to B@put his life in perspective. The life of a hacker is an arduous )one, sooner or later you must let go...GEThis seemed to be the signal other hackers, with little immagination B@of their own, were looking for! From this moment on, we saw the HFappearance of new packers while keeping compatibility with DDD V2.1. FDEven now, most packers in use have blatently copied his algorythm. DBSometimes one wonders if programming ability is not equivalent to copying abilities!.61988: Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V4.0 (January 1988)FD After his sabatical, Louis takes charge again by introducing A?Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V4.0. The packing algorythm has been @>totally revamped into a faster, more powerful packer. Mark my B@words, this packer marks the dawn of a new era, and believe me, =;the shock waves will be felt all over the modem world, and =probably, the same unimaginative people will copy it again.41988: Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V4.1 (April 1988)EC With this version, users can now unpack old DDD 2.1 files. 3Many others littles modifications have been made.31988: Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V4.2 (June 1988)GE This version keep track volume number of 5.25 disk in the DDD @>file. Unpack more faster than V4.0. It can show REL and TXT A?prodos type files in partial mode. Again, many others littles modifications have been made.41988: Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V4.2a (July 1988)) Correcting a little bug in V4.2.31989: Disk Disintegrater DeLuxe V5.0 (June 1989)HF This is the lastest version of the saga of D.D.DeLuxe packer. The main new features are: > - Meter buffer to indicate DDDeLuxe buffer operation.7 - Use 128k as buffer on a //e or //c computer.CA - On a //gs, use the //gs memory as buffer to pack/unpack  faster with 1 x 3.5 drive.JH - Can format a 3.5 disk (on a //gs) with any interleave to get  a faster 3.5 disk.  - Use mouse.FD - Can print/view any type of prodos files including TXT, AWP $ (appleworks word processor files).1 - The program running faster in general.? - And many others little new features have been added.B@Do yourself a favor, use the original! As in other domains, the 2original has usually the upper hand on the copy! 1.3) ABOUT COMPATIBILITYA) Packers:FD D.D.DeLuxe V5.0 can unpack old DDD 2.1 file (prodos REL type) as 0well as DDD V4.0, V4.1, V4.2 and V4.2a files. B) Computers:D D.D.DeLuxe will execute bug free under the following computers:( - Apple ][+ or compatible, with 64k; - Apple //e, enhanced or not, with or without extended 80 column cards. - Apple //c, all models. - Franklin computer." - Laser computer, all models. - Apple //GS, all models.C) Screen mode:GE o Apple ][+: The display will be in 40 columns mode and in upper @>case characters only, even if you have a compatible ][+ which B@supports lower case characters. The main reason being that even A?those compatible cannot display inverted lower case characters that DDD uses.GE If you have an 80 column card, D.D.DeLUXE will not use it, this <:is caused by the lack of standard in the ][+ 80 columns. =;Remember that you will have to boot DDD in 40 columns, any B@attempt to boot in 80 columns will result in garbage characters on your screen.A? o Apple //e without 80 column card: You will see lower case <:characters, but obviously you will only get 40 columns of display.IG o Apple //e with 80 columns, Apple //c and Apple //GS: You will see 7both 80 columns and both upper/lower case characters.,D) Disk format that D.D.DeLUXE can pack: - 5.25" floppy diskettes0 - 3.5" floppy diskettes with 800k capacity< - 3.5" floppy diskettes with 1.44m capacity (avaliable7 for the Mac // now, soon for the //gs...). .E) Disk drives compatible with D.D.DeLUXE: - 5.25" disk drivesIG - 3.5" 800k dives (this include Apple 3.5, Unidisk 3.5, Universal :8disk controller and all other 3.5 drives that are Apple compatible.) - 3.5" 1.44m drives.H - All hard disks working under PRODOS (CMS, Siders, Profile, etc..); - All RAM cards that support a PRODOS RAM disk driver.5 - All Rom disks (such as the //GS Memory Saver). - PC transporter RAM disk.( - PC transporter 5.25" PRODOS disk.F) PRODOS version:HF D.D.DeLUXE is compatible with PRODOS version 1.3 or higher. Do not FDuse with older PRODOS revisions (it will not run). It's preferable ;to use V1.4 or higher because V1.3 have minor bugs in it.G) Clock cards:IG D.D.DeLUXE will read your clock card as long as you have loaded its DBdriver in the PRODOS boot (clock patch). D.D.DeLUXE is compatible @>with all standard PRODOS clock cards, with or without patch. DBD.D.DeLUXE will also work without a clock card, in which case you 9will be prompted for date/time input whenever required. H) Mouse:HF D.D.DeLuxe V5.0 let you use mouse if you have one (on //gs only). <You must configure the program to use it (see appendix A). +1.4) WHAT YOU HAVE ON D.D.DeLUXE DISKGE The D.D.DeLUXE original disk have 2 sides. First side contains =;all files you need to run the program. Second side is the B@documentation. Following is a description of the various files on the disk:A) Side #1:& In the DDDELUXE.V5.0 directory: D.D.DELUXE.LOADB@ SYS file. To be used if you wish to start D.D.DELUXE.V5.0 =;directly from Applesoft Basic. You don't need to run this @>program if you start D.D.DeLuxe from the prodos dispatcher or from the //gs finder. D.D.DELUXE.V5.0DB SYS file. This is the main program of D.D.DeLUXE. This file @>should never be renamed, if you use D.D.DELUXE.LOAD or if you use the Finder on a //gs. D.D.DELUXE.PRT2HF Type $00 file. This is part 2 of the D.D.DeLuxe program. This B@file must be in the same directory as D.D.DELUXE.V5.0 file. It Bwill be loaded by the main program. Should never be renamed!! D.D.DELUXE.CONFIG This is the file where your personal configuration of D.D.DeLUXE A?(type $00) will be stored. This file should never be renamed 53!! This file must be in the same directory as the D.D.DELUXE.V5.0 file. In the main directory: DDDELUXE.ICONSHF This file will only be useful for Apple //gs users. On the disk @>itself, this file is useless. Copy this file to the directory CAcalled ICONS on your system disk you are using. Your finder will B@then be able to load this file and will display the appropriate B@ICONS relative to D.D.DeLUXE files. A small surprise is waiting for you! READ.ME.FIRSTDB First text file to read when booting for the first time the D.D.DeLUXE disk (side 1). ABOUT.INTERLEAVB@ TXT file. This little documention explain what is a disk <interleave. This is the same documentation as appendix C. B) Side #2: ABOUT.DELUX.DOXFD TXT file. Small documentation on how to print the D.D.DeLuxe files. DDDELUXE5.DOX1H Appleworks AWP file. First part of the D.D.DeLUXE documentation. DDDELUXE5.DOX2;9 Appleworks AWP file. Second part of the D.D.DeLUXE documentation. DDDELUXE5.DOX3G Appleworks AWP file. Last part of the D.D.DeLUXE documentation. "1.5) HOW TO START D.D.DeLUXE#A) Before starting the program:FD Before starting D.D.DeLUXE, if you have a clock card, you should DBevidently load its driver to patch PRODOS, if it hasn't been done &already. Use PRODOS V1.3 or higher.HF Furthermore, if you also want to utilize your Ram card, you should ECalso load its driver. Note: No driver are necessary for /RAM5 on 3the //GS or the standard /RAM on the //c or //e. FD Don't rename the following files, as they are used by D.D.DeLUXE +and you may create unneccessary problems:D.D.DELUXE.LOADD.D.DELUXE.V5.0D.D.DELUXE.PRT2D.D.DELUXE.CONFFD You can copy all these files on your working disk if you wish. CAYou must have all these files in the same directory to work. If FDthe configuration file is not found, then D.D.DeLUXE will configure FDitself with default parameters. If "D.D.DELUXE.PRT2" is not found, %D.D.DeLuxe will not be able to run.B) Starting the program:IG If you are using a //GS, you can start D.D.DeLUXE directly from the ECFinder by executing the main module: D.D.DELUXE.V5.0. You will not CAneed to execute the D.D.DELUXE.LOAD if you use the Finder or the 2PRODOS dispatcher (PRODOS BYE or QUIT commands).GE If you start D.D.DeLUXE from Applesoft basic, then you must start ECD.D.DELUXE.LOAD first, this system file will load the main program CAD.D.DELUXE.V5.0 in resident memory. This procedure is neccessary FDdue to the size of the routine and this could cause a conflict with B@the BASIC.SYSTEM in memory if you wished to start directly from basic.A? If you have an Apple ][+, you must start D.D.DeLUXE from 40 A?columns, if you have an 80 columns card, you must refrain from using it.C) Once loaded:IG Once loaded. D.D.DeLUXE will show you a banner page, at this stage, ECyou may elect to press the letter A to read the "About D.D.DeLuxe" ECfor the program, or press the letter C to configure your personnal ?=version of D.D.DeLuxe program (see appendix A to know how to DBconfigure it...). Pressing any other key will go directly to the 9main menu. Voila! You are now ready to use D.D.DeLUXE.D) The main menu:FD Here is the main menu you will see (each option is reviewed in a separate chapter): [1] Pack disk$ [2] Unpack/Prodos cmds! [3] Edit my message! [4] Save my message+ [5] View/save/print last info& [6] Optimize Prodos disk$ [7] Format Prodos disk [8] Checksum disk [9] Quit [/] Previous dir.@> You can choose one of the options directly by pressing its CAappropriate number or browse through the choices with one of the "browse" keys:9 Space bar, right and down arrow: down one line7 Left and up arrow: up one lineB Return: accept option selectedH / key: go to the previous directoryEC Chapter 2: DIVERS NOTES.......................CHAPTER 2: DIVERS NOTES.......................A?In this chapter, we will review divers D.D.DeLuxe features not explained in other chapters.2.1) THE STATUS LINE:HF The status line is displayed at the bottom line in the main menu 8screen. This line give you the following information:1 a) The time of day and the date (at left).9 b) The type of computer you are using (in center).D c) The size of the D.D.DeLuxe buffer (at right) in kilobytes.? This buffer is used when you pack, unpack or analyse.2.2) ABOUT MEMORY USAGE:GE D.D.DeLUXE works on any system with at least 64k (except on the original Apple ][).= a) If you have an Apple //e or //c with at least 128k:FD You can configure the program to use all the 128k of memory #when you pack, unpack or analyse. b) If you use a //gs:DB You can configure the program to use the //gs memory when ?=pack, unpack or analyse. You can configure it to use a 800k @>or 1.44m of the //gs memory. D.D.DeLuxe will get the maximum >treat it as a 3.5" 800k drive. The same rule applies with ram DBdisks of 1.44m. It will so be possible to you to unpack DDD files Bof 800k and 1.44m onto ramdisks instead of the usual 3.5" disks.2.4) CLOCK CARD:CA If your Apple has a clock card, D.D.DeLUXE will display the A?current date and time in a little window at the bottom left of CAyour screen of the main menu. In other screen, the time will be displayed at top of screen.2.5) ABOUT MOUSE:FD If you have a mouse and you use a //gs, you can configure your D.D.DeLuxe to use it.EC The mouvements of the mouse simulate the arrows keys (in four B@directions) and the mouse button simulate the return key. Each Atime you have to use one of these keys, you can use your mouse.EC Remember this: Each time you have to scroll something on the B@screen, you can always use the mouse with the open apple key to B@scroll faster. This situation happend in catalog mode and when 4you view a file on screen (text file for exemple).2.6) THE RESET KEY:FD As in other Apple programs, never press the RESET button while DBD.D. DeLUXE accesses your disk. This may prove to be hazardous to ?=the life of your disk! However, as long as D.D.DeLUXE is not A?accessing the drives, it will be safe to press reset, you will ,then be transported back to the main menu.IG Note: It's always preferable to not use the RESET button at all, Byou can always go back to the main menu by pressing the ESC key.2.7) THE ESC KEY:IG At any stage during the program, you can go back to the main menu CAby pressing the ESC key. No matter where you are, no matter what =you are doing, you can always ESCape back to the main menu!2.8) FAST QUIT:IG At any stage during the program, you can quit fast the program by CApressing the CTRL-Q. No matter where you are, no matter what you =;are doing. The program will quit in the way you configure 2CTRL-Q. See appendix A to know more about that.2.9) THE CONTROL KEYS:IG Each time you must use a control key, you can always use the open 5apple key instead of the control key if you prefer. 2.10) EDITOR CONTROL KEYS:EC Every time that D.D.DeLUXE will ask you to type anything, you ?will automatically have access to the following editing keys:9 -> : move cursor right in sentence8 <- : move cursor left in sentence> DEL : delete character at left of cursor6 CTRL-D : delete character at cursor5 TAB or CTRL-I : toggle insert mode on/offE CTRL-F : put cursor at first character of the lineD CTRL-L : put cursor at last character of the line& CLEAR or CTRL-X : Clear line' RETURN : Accept line2.11) HORIZONTAL MENUS:GE At certain occasions, D.D.DeLUXE will ask you to choose certain @>options with the horizontal menu. In this case, just use the ?=left and right arrows ( -> and <- ) to choose the option you )desire, then press Return to accept it.2.12) ABOUT BUFFER METER:FD The buffer meter is displayed on a 80 colomns screen each time CAyou pack or unpack. Beside of the meter, you can see the buffer B@size in kilobytes. This buffer shows you all D.D.DeLuxe buffer operations.EC When packing a disk: Each time D.D.DeLuxe pack data disk, he @>fill the buffer. You can see the buffer growing up on screen A?while D.D.DeLuxe packs the disk. When the buffer is full, you CAcan see also D.D.DeLuxe empty the buffer while it is writing the data to your DDD file.EC When unpacking a DDD file: Each time D.D.DeLuxe read the DDD :8file, you can see the buffer growing up on screen while CAD.D.DeLuxe read the DDD file. You can see also the buffer empty 3while D.D.DeLuxe unpack the data from the buffer.A? The size of the buffer depends on how you configured your <:D.D.DeLuxe and also how much memory your Apple have. See 1appendix A (configure) to know more about that.@2.13) D.D.DeLUXE PRODOS FILE TYPE and DISK IDENTIFICATION:HF When you are packing, D.D.DeLUXE uses the PRODOS type $DD (short DBfor Disintegraterr DeLuxe) to store your DDD file, no matter if CAyou used 5.25, 3.5, 800k or 1.44m. As of now, this file type has 5not been used by any other Apple software programs.EC When you will catalog such a directory with D.D.DeLUXE, these A?file types will appear as "DDD", but if you use other software B@programs to catalog such disks, they will appear as "$DD". This 2will facilitate the identification of DDD files.FD How will you know what type of medium is to be used during the DBunpacking operation? This is made quite simple, just look at the @>file name!

This routine is activated automatically DBwhenever you get an error while D.D.DeLUXE is accessing the disk. A?In the eventuallity of such an error occuring, D.D.DeLUXE will CAtell you the appropriate PRODOS error code, in hexadecimal, in a >perhaps be lower, but then again, nobody should be affected.'3.3) ABOUT THE PREVIOUS DIRECTORYCA In the main menu or in the device window, you can always go @>directly to the last drive and directory you have accessed by DBpressing the "/" key. This option should save you some key press =when you do many manipulations with the D.D.DeLuxe program.3.4) THE DEVICE WINDOW:5 Every time that you use the following options:HF PACK, UNPACK/PRODOS CMDS, OPTIMIZE, FORMAT, CHECKSUM, SAVE LAST DDD INFO, COPY FILESFD D.D.DeLuxe will, first, display on screen the device window to >when you want to see a list of all prodos volume connected to your Apple.B) Previous directory (/):FD This option will let you go directly to the last directory you CAhave accessed. This is useful when you have a lot of work to do CAin the same directory. Also, note at bottom screen, you see the 4last pathname you have accessed (Previous prefix).C) Rename volume (CTRL-R):HF This option will let you change a volume name of a prodos disk. @>Press control-R and type the new volume name. If you want to 9cancel "rename volume", just press return (blank line).D) Catalog:FD This option will let you access to the catalog of a disk. See >chapter 6 (Prodos commands) to know all commands avaliables. 3.5) THE DIRECTORY WINDOW:EC After choosing a prodos disk in the device window, D.D.DeLUXE @>will show you a second window containing the directory of the volume you chose previously.GE It will also indicate to you wether the catalog you are viewing A?is a FULL or PARTIAL catalog. You will see such information on @>the top line of the window. At the bottom of the window, you B@will see the volume name, total free blocks of the disk as well +as the total block capacity of that disk.EC Note: If your directory is empty, D.D.DeLUXE will display "No A?Entry". If you are in mode "full" and D.D.DeLUXE will display :8that message, then you have no files whatsoever in your ?=directory, however, if you were in "partial" mode, then this DBmessage will indicate that you have no sub-directory or DDD files B@(or TXT, REL and APW) in the working volume. You may still have ?=other types of file in this directory, to verify, just go in ""full" mode by pressing "2" key.+ You then have the following options:A) Arrows:> Right and down arrows: move down 1 line in directory> Left and up arrows: move up 1 line in directory? Open apple + down arrow: move down 7 lines in directory? Open apple + up arrow: move up 7 lines in directoryB) RETURN key:GE If you wish to catalog a subdirectory, position your scroll bar CAto the subdirectory and press Return, D.D.DeLUXE will give you a #new catalog of that subdirectory.HF If the scroll bar is on a DDD file (D.D.DeLuxe file or REL file) A?and you press return, D.D.DeLuxe will suppose that you want to CAunpack this file. See chapter 5 (Unpack a DDD file) to know how to unpack a file.DB If the scroll bar is not on a DDD file nor on a subdirectory ?=name, D.D.DeLuxe will suppose that you want to view a file. DBPlease see chapter 6 (Prodos commands) to know more about viewing a file..C) Come back 1 directory before (Key "1"):IG This key let you go up 1 directory. If you are not at the volume A?directory and you are in a subdirectory, you can back track to 6the previous directory by pressing the number 1 key.*D) Toggle full/partial mode (Key "2"):DB This key let you choose between Full and Partial catalog mode.GE In a full catalog, D.D.DeLUXE will display all files present in the working directory.@> In a partial directory, D.D.DeLUXE will only display the CAsub-directories and the files of type $DD (or DDD) and also TXT, A?REL or APW files if you configure the program to display them. @>This option will allow you to quickly zero in on such type of B@files. Note: If you are in the pack command, the partial mode )shows you only the sub-directory names.4E) Re-read the working disk directory (Key "3"):EC Choose this option when you remove your working disk from the CAdrive and you put another prodos disk in the drive. This option B@will read the main directory of the disk in the present working drive.+F) Re-call the device window (Key "4"):FD By pressing this key, D.D.DeLUXE will give you back the volume A?window of all on-line volumes on your Apple. Of course, if you CAinserted or removed volumes since the last time, D.D.DeLUXE will :present you with an up to date picture of these volumes.DBFor all others commands avaliable in the directory window, please &consult chapter 6 (Prodos commands).+O==========|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|====|===z* nFD  FD Chapter 4: PACKING A DISK..........................\^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~CHAPTER 4: PACKING A DISK.........................FDThis is option [1] in the main menu.

Once the file received, you must use this =option to change this file type back to the usual $DD type.IG Most of the time, this command will never be used as the majority @>of contemporary modem transmission programs preserve the file DBtype. If you ever have doubts that a TXT file (or other file type DBthan $DD) was actually packed with D.D.DeLuxe, one hint is to use +for the usual DDD suffix (.A, .B or .C). GE You can try this command on any type of files. Prior to convert CAthat file to type $DD, D.D.DeLUXE will verify that this file was CAindeed packed with D.D.DeLUXE, so have no fear that D.D.DeLUXE 4will ever convert a file that is not a DDD file.$6.2) CTRL-A: ANALIZE DDD FILE:FD This option is be particularly useful for BBS sysop. Use this DBoption when you do not wish to unpack a file, but you want simply =to check if the file is good (all DDD file checksums good).DB Of course, this option work only on D.D.DeLuxe files because B@D.D.DeLuxe stock checksums in a DDD file.

This is due A?to the peculiar method of some hard disks that requires that a =;special code be sent to its controller, this seems to be a > Block number : This is the first of the 8 blocks of the 20checksum, as you already know, DDD computes the 0.checksum every 8 blocks. For example, if the 0.display shows "Block8: 32", then the checksum 1corresponds to block number 32 to 39 inclusive.3 -> Checksum : Checksum of these 8 blocks.> -> Last block : This is the last block # to be reached7 -> Total checksum : Checksum of all blocks on disk.FDWhen D.D.DeLUXE has finished to compute the entire disk's checksum, IGyou will have the total checksum, in hexadecimal, at the bottom of the screen.IGNote: If you wish, at any time, to stop the scrolling window (maybe to ECwrite down each checksum), you can do so by pressing the space bar 3once, you would restart it by pressing it again. ECAlso note that you can checksum any type of Apple disk, it may be FDPRODOS, DOS 3.3, PASCAL, CP/M or any other valid format, even if we 4mention the term "block" to compute the checksum8.DBThis option is not neccessary to pack or unpack disks, D.D.DeLUXE CAautomatically do so for you. It's just one more utility at your Edisposal, if you should ever decide to check the checsums yourself.
