Short:        Disk image device (adf,dms,ipf,iso,...)
Author:       Fredrik Wikstrom
Uploader:     Fredrik Wikstrom <fredrik a500 org>
Type:         disk/misc
Version:      52.53
Architecture: ppc-amigaos

This is a from scratch development for AmigaOS4.0 and is not to be confused
with Thore Boeckelmann's diskimage.device for AOS3.x. Only the name and some
functionality is the same (can use the same mountlists f.e.).

The DiskImageCtrl doesn't work with this device for this reason. This should
not be a problem however as there is now (as of v52.2) a ReAction GUI that
provides more or less the same functionality as this program.

Warning: Never use DiskImageGUI with diskimage.device of different version. The
GUI relies on some private device vectors for it's functionality that may
change as the device is improved and more features are added. Always reboot
after installing a new diskimage.device/DiskImageGUI version.

Requirements:

 - AmigaOS4
 - AISS v3.1 (DiskImageGUI) - http://masonicons.de
 - capsimage.device (IPF plugin) - http://softpres.org

   http://os4depot.net/share/development/library/misc/zlibrary.lha
 - bz2.library 1.2 (DMG plugin) - http://strohmayer.org/sfs/files/bzip2.lha
 - expat.library 4.1 (DMG plugin) -
   http://os4depot.net/share/development/library/misc/expat-ppc.lha

Supported Disk Image Formats:

 - adf
 - adz (gzipped adf)

 - cso (Compressed ISO)
 - cpr (same as dsk)
 - cue
 - d64 (use fs1541 or d64_fs)
 - daa
 - dax
 - dmg
 - dms (DiskMaSher)
 - dsk (CPCEmu, non-EXTENDED images only)

 - nrg (Nero)
 - raw
 - toast (same as iso)
 - uif

The following formats are supported but untested:
 - b5i
 - c2d
 - cdi
 - pdi

Compressed images are supported through (if available):

 - xadmaster.library
 - xpkmaster.library

It is also possible to create/mount password encrypted diskimages using the
"Crypt" plugin.

Usage:

For usage instructions see the diskimage.guide file in the archive.

Changes:

52.53 (17-Mar-2010)
 - Implemented CUE plugin for mounting .cue files (has the same experimental
   CDDA support as the NRG plugin)

52.52 (16-Mar-2010)
 - Updated Italian catalog
 - Finally implemented a proper AutoInstall script for AmiUpdate (can also be
   to manually update a diskimage.device installation by typing the command
   "execute AutoInstall" into a CLI window)
 - Implemented experimental CDDA support in the NRG plugin (only supports
   "READ TOC" and "READ MSF" commands currently which is just enough to use
   the OS4 CDFileSystem's CDDA tracks as AIFF files feature and to play the
   tracks with PlayCDDA)
 - Fixed a bug in the handling of uncompressed data (PT_COPY) in the DMG plugin
