BOCHSRC.EXE  "Bochs Resource"  v00.50.00
A utility to create/modify a bochs resource file.
- ** Please see bochsrc.txt for information about using this utility **.
- Compiled with VC++ 6.0 as a Win32 API app
- get the source here.

BXIMAGE.EXE  "Bochs Image" Creator
- This is included from the Bochs package.  It simply creates blank sectors
  of image space.  For example, it will create an empty floppy or hard drive
  image of a specified size.  The image will be "empty".

MKDOSFS.EXE  "Make DOS FS"  v00.14.15
A utility to create a FAT disk image of specified size.
- Floppy  or  Harddrive up to 1024meg of FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32[1].
- I have done some work with the FAT32 stuff, but it is not completed.
- Now includes an option to create an empty MBR, then start the DOS partition at LBA 63.

IMGINIT  "Image Initalize"  Alex Frounze 17 Jan 2009
- Creates three types of FAT12/16/32 images, including a hard drive image with
  extended partitions and multiple FAT partitions.  Very useful in testing your
  partition parser.  (see IMGCPY for copying to and from these images)

IMGCPY  "Image Copy"  Alex Frounze 17 Jan 2009
- Copies files to and from FAT images, including creating directories.

MDEL.EXE  "Delete file"  v00.10.01
- A utility to delete an existing file from a FAT disk image.

MDIREX.EXE  "Directory Extended"  v00.10.01
A utility to view a FAT disk images directory and FAT contents.
- Displays the BPB, ROOT, and each occupied ROOT entries FAT chain.

MGETIMG.EXE  "Get Disk Image"  v00.15.10
A utility to create a disk image from logical drives. (multiple formats).
- Logical Drives include floppies and partitions on hard drives.
- DOS DPMI or WinNT only.  Now coded for DJGPP.
- .EXE included is a DJGPP DOS executable that requires a DPMI.
- Now will handle large partition sizes (total sectors more than 32-bits)

MBOOTCD.EXE  "Create a CDROM Image with boot options"  v00.10.05
Create a CDROM image capable of booting with only a ROOT and a single file.
 - Added the Effective Date to the Primary Volume Descriptor.  Some hardware wasn't
   booting the CD with out it.

MGETCD.EXE  "Get Disk Image of Physical CD"  v00.10.10
A utility to create a disk image from a CD.
- Compiled with VC++ 6.0 as a Win32 console app
- 27May2004: Now checks for multi-session disks.  I still think it isn't reading
   quite enough sectors, but I am working on it.
- **** Now Requires a WinXP machine ****

MCDINFO.EXE  "Get CD Info"  v00.10.00 
A utility to get the info from a CD.  Not much yet, but a little.
- Compiled with VC++ 6.0 as a Win32 console app
- *** Requires a WinNT machine ****

MAPPEND.EXE  "Append Sectors to Disk Image" v00.10.00
Append sectors to a disk image so that it has an even number of cylinders, heads, and spt.
For example, if you get a disk image that BOCHS panics that the disk geometry doesn't
match your bochrc.txt file, then use this to append enough sectors to the end of the image
so that you have a cylinders value of X, heads = 16, and SPT = 63.

MFDISK.EXE  "FDISK and image"  *** NOT INCLUDED YET ****
Similar to FDISK but for a Disk Image using Bochs.
NOT INCLUDED YET:  I haven't finished it yet. :)

MPART.EXE  "Partitions"  *** NOT INCLUDED YET ****
A utility to combine disk images and create a single image with
a MBR and partition tables for each image included.
NOT INCLUDED YET:  I haven't finished it yet. :)

The above two utilities may be combined into one utility.  I haven't
finished either yet, so who knows.

DUMP.EXE  "Dump a files contents"  v01.61.35, is now located here.

MKE2FS.EXE  "Make an Ext2 file system" v00.04.14
A utility to format a partition or a file to the Ext2 File System by Matt <mattwu [at] 163.com>
I found this and the source at:
   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43775&package_id=36151&release_id=604095
inside the Ext2Fsd-0.46a.src.zip file.  I am only including the .exe and 
readme.txt file.  For the source, grab the zip file at SF.
The home page he has listed http://ext2.yeah.net is broken.
The latest code looks to be at http://ext2fsd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ext2fsd/trunk/Mke2fs/


MAKE_VMDK.EXE  "Make a .VMDK file"  v00.10.00
Okay, this isn't a tool for bochs, but this will allow you to take your
hard disk images from bochs and use them in VMware's Workstation v6.0.  It
creates a .vmdk config file to tell VMware what type of image you are
using.  It is an MFC MS WinXP Dialog App but should work on Win95+.



Most utilities come with source code.  I compiled them with (except were noted): 
 DJGPP      (creates a DOS .EXE that requires a DPMI)
 VC++ 6.x   (creates a Windows .EXE that requires Win32)
 QC2.5      (creates a DOS .EXE that will run on TRUE DOS)

All utilities come with a pre-compiled version using 
DJGPP with the above requirements for DJGPP .EXE's, except were noted above.


[1]Please note that I currently only use FAT12 with these
tools.  I have coded the FAT16 and FAT32 into these utilities, but
it is unknown if they work correctly.  If you use FAT16 or FAT32 and these 
utilities, please let me know if you had to make some modifications to 
get them to work.  Thanks.
