Usage

Opening a Document

To open a document, click the menu command "File > Open" or drop its icon into the main window. Dropping the icon onto the program icon does the same.

Saving the Document

To save the document, click the menu command "File > Save" or "File > Save As". Empty documents cannot be saved.

Backing Up the Document

To create a backup of the document, click the menu command "File > Back Up". With the menu command "File > Back Up on Save" selected, the document is automatically backed up every time before it is saved. Backups are placed alongside the document. They can be distinguished from the original by the prefix "[Backup]" in their names.

Adding Disk Images

To add new disk images, click the menu command "File > Add > New". The operation can be undone and redone by clicking the menu command "Edit > Undo" and "Edit > Redo" respectively.

The preset data is defined in the file "Presets.dat". The file can be found at the program. By editing the file, you can customize the preset items appear on the Presets dialog box. The data format is compatible with Comma Separated Values (CSV).

5 N Integer Takes a number between 0 and 255.

To add existent disk images, click the menu command "File > Add > Existent" or drop their icons into the main window. It is ensured that specified files are sorted by path before being added to the list. The operation can be undone and redone by clicking the menu command "Edit > Undo" and "Edit > Redo" respectively.

Saving Entries to Independent Files

To save entries to independent files, select the entries and click the menu command "File > Save To > Single File" or "File > Save To > Multiple Files".

Reordering Entries

To reorder entries, select the entries (if necessary) and click a command in the "View" menu. The operation can be undone and redone by clicking the menu command "Edit > Undo" and "Edit > Redo" respectively.
