[mtools] mtools image file support

[Charles Stevens]

Hi,

    I just downloaded mtools 3.9.10. I was wanting to add command line image file support. But I was too late. It already has it!! Great work!

    I still would like a litte more. I thought that if you specify an image on the command line, it should be the default source/target. So this would work

 

mdir -i ufn

 

-- or --

 

mcopy -i ufn *.c

 

instead of giving an error  about not being able to access /dev/fd0 (a:)

 

I have already prototyped this idea using the mp->mcwd parameter, but this seems like a little too much of a hack. I am willing to code this up and submit a patch against 3.9.10. But I thought someone on the list (like David or Alan) might want to provide some direction on where to make such a change. (Or maybe suggest that I am overlooking something by wanting this feature).

 

My thought is to add another flag to the MainParam_t struct and test it somewhere in mainloop.c when the default drive gets initialized.

 

cheers.
