Container File Builder
CONTAINER FILE BUILDER
Starting CONTAINR
(DOS)
CONTAINR is usually started without anything on the command line. CONTAINR will ask
for the container filename and then display a list of drives which will fit into the container file.
Drives specified in the configuration file that exceed the capacity of the DOS drive will be flagged
in the menu. The container file builder can not build a single container file larger than
4,294,967,295 bytes (4GB - 1 byte).
(NT)
The container file builder is started from Start \ Programs \ Osprey \ Container File Builder. The
container file builder can not build a single container file larger than 2,147,483,646 bytes (2GB - 2
bytes).
Selecting a Drive from the Menu(DOS)
The up and down arrow keys select different drives. If there are too many drives to fit on one
screen, the remaining ones will become visible when the cursor goes off the bottom or top of the
screen. Page up and Page down will move the list a page at a time. If you want to select an option
quickly, begin typing the first few letters of the drive name. CONTAINR will display the drive that
begins with the letters you typed.
Selecting a Drive from the Command Line(DOS)
The drive may be fully specified on the command line. This allows batch processes to build
container files.
The drive size should be specified in one of three ways. (See the help screen, page 109.)
1)
Specify /D:”name”. The configuration file must contain a definition
with:
2)
... Drive = “name” ...
e.g.: CONTAINR C:\MYRD54 /D:”RD54”
Specify /B or /L or /K or /M with the correct container file size.
e.g.: CONTAINR C:\MYRD54 /M:160
3)
Specify /H and /S and /T with the desired parameters.
