    Included in this archive are a set of CLI based programs for dealing
   with JDisk drives.
 
    The BridgeBoard comes with a set of utility programs which allow you to
   create and use virtual IBM disk drives on the Amiga. These JDisk drives
   can be written to and read from using the IBM programs AWRITE.EXE and
   AREAD.EXE. Although these programs can be fine for transferring small
   amounts of data, they can be slow when large files are being moved. I wrote
   these Amiga programs included herein so I could quickly transfer large
   amounts of data to the JDisks located on the Amiga.
     
     Using an Amiga 3000 with a 286 BridgeBoard, the WriteJD program will
   write a 250KB file from the harddrive to a ram based JDisk file in
   approximately 9 seconds versus 62 seconds using the AREAD program. The
   ReadJD program will transfer this same file from the JDisk to Amiga ram in
   approximately 6 seconds versus 62 seconds using AWRITE.
