-----------------------------------------------------------------

Isomount is an ARexx script that makes possible to mount 
CD iso, HD img and/or floppy images in variable formats automatically.

Supported images:

 -amiga    adf - 880-1.76(ofs,ffs)
 -m$-dos   img - 360-2.88(fat12)
 -atari st st  - 800(fat12)
 -mac gs   ??  - 800(mfm)
 -cd       iso - every size including floppy specific
 -HD       img - every size and FFS,PFS,SFS, PC-DOS or MAC format
 -Others   DMS,IPF - images /diskimage.device/
 -RP9      rp9 - Cloanto container format

This script might be very useful to PC-Task users, so that u
do not need to make real boot-floppy and HD image all u have 
to do is to download one from somewhere,mount it and use.

 -mount,rx,requestchoice,requestfile,waitforport,join,rename,delete  
 - commands in C: or in path

 and of course some disk/iso images.



-Installation:
1.   Copy  isomount  preferably to Your C: directory  and make sure
     it has script bit [flag] active.
     [protect c:isomount add s].

2.  Copy filedisk.device from archive in to DEVS: folder on sys. disk.

3.  When your REXXMAST server not stabile running, copy rexxmast from 
    your sys:system/rexxmast directory in to sys:wbstartup.
    
4.  Create asociation`s in Deficons tool 
    [ sys:prefs/deficons  OS 3.5, 3.9, 3.2+ ] for all types 
    supported image`s.
    Note: 1. In older version OS [ 3.1 ] is Deficons tool not presented.
          You must create icon`s for every single image file separately.
          2. Icon`s must be Project type with Default tool set on 
    to Isomount [with path] and first tooltype must be SHELL or CLI.

When you have all this correct set, 
you have mouting functionality for all supported 
files on one douleclick !!!!!!!


- usage from shell:

template: isomount <filename>[,devname][,manmode]

          [,manmode] is a number of 'devtype.', see this
          file with text viewer or editor in order to get the range.
          remember that 0 is always iso, the reason why this option
          exists is that u may have iso image that has exactly same
          size like one of the supported floppy images.

          NOTE: u can still ommit [,devname] like this,
                'isomount ../games/cdimageofsomething.iso,,0'

examples:

RamDisk:> isomount hd2:debian_woody.iso
-this   will    mount   debian installation disc as SCD0:,
if  You  type  above  line  again  then  the  debian   iso 
will be mounted again but this time as SCD1:.

RamDisk:>isomount `requestfile`
-and now select your image file via filerequester.
