---------------------------------------------------------------------
The latest version of the OS/2 DSK extraction utility, DSKXTRCT,
is now available. I have uploaded it to ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu in
/pub/incoming directory, but it will eventually be moved to
/pub/os2/system/patches/fixpack. The filename is dskxtr12.zip.
DSKXTRCT (and the companion program DSKCOMPR) provide the capability to
extract (and compare) DSK image files directly to a harddrive, bypassing the
creation the intermediate diskettes required by LOADDSKF. This release adds
support for checksum verification of the DSK image files to assure that they
have not been corrupted. These programs require no special drivers to be
loaded.
