ISOCOMP/2 on WIN32

As far as I can tell, IsoComp/2 for WIN32 should behave the same between OS/2 and WIN32, though due to the different APIs there, there might be incompatibilities I'm certainly interested in hearing about.

I did the port under NT4 SP5, and though I was using the oldest version of the APIs some APIs are not available on WIN9x so it won't work there. As always, Microsoft's inflation of APIs for different versions of Windows is a hell, and shows that due to their monopoly they can force what they want, and whatever they do looks shortsighted!

ISOCOMP/2 - The ISO image file compare utility for OS/2 (WIN32 port), V1.20 (C) Roman Stangl 05, 2002 (Roman_Stangl@at.ibm.com) http://www.oocities.org/SiliconValley/Pines/7885/ Use the ISOCOMP command to compare the contents of a Source CD-ROM with the contents of a Target CD-ROM or with an ISO, RAW or RSJ track image file. Or you can create an ISO image or RSJ track image file out of a CD-ROM. Syntax: ISOCOMP Source(CDROM-drive:|[drive:\|\\server\][path\]ISO|RAW-file) Target(CDROM-drive:|[drive:\|\\server\][path\]ISO|RAW-file) [/!MP] [/LOG[:[drive:\|\\server\][path\]file]] [/P] [/TINY] [/CHK:drive:\|\\server\][path\]file] ISOCOMP CDROM-drive: | CDROM-drive:|[drive:\|\\server\][path\]ISO|RAW-file [/!MP] [/LOG[:[drive:\|\\server\][path\]file]] [/P] [/TINY] [/CHK:[drive:\|\\server\][path\]file] Where: Source(CDROM-drive:|[drive:\|\\server\][path\]ISO|RAW-file) Specifies either the Source drive letter (e.g. Z or Z:) of your CD-ROM drive containing a data CD-ROM, or the location and name of a Source ISO, RAW or RSJ track image file, whose contents you want to compare with a media in your Target CD-ROM drive or to compare it with or write from an ISO image or RSJ track image file. You may specify a fully qualified path or UNC path. Target(CDROM-drive:|[drive:\|\\server\][path\]ISO|RAW-file) Specifies either the Target drive letter (e.g. Z or Z:) of your CD-ROM drive containing a data CD-ROM, or the location and name of a Target ISO, RAW or RSJ track image file. If the image file does not exist, it will be created out of the CD-ROM contents, otherwise compared with the CD-ROM contents (Only ISO or RSJ track image files will be created). You may specify a fully qualified path or UNC path. [/!MP] Specifies that only 1 thread is used reading the CD-ROM contents and the image file instead of the default of 2 threads. [/LOG[:[drive:\|\\server\][path\]file]] Specifies that ISOCOMP/2 logs all problems into a file specified either by this parameter, or by the ISOCOMP environment variable or into ISOCOMP.LOG (put into the directory ISOCOMP/2 was installed into) otherwise. [/P] Request ISOCOMP/2 to pause when it has finished. [/TINY] 2 64kB buffers are used instead of a percentage of total RAM. [/CHK:[drive:\|\\server\][path\]file] Specifies that ISOCOMP/2 uses a checksum file to ensure data integrity. If the checksum file does not exist, it will be created, otherwise compared with the checksum calculated from the data read from the Source. Returns: 0 Successful completion 100+ Fatal, unrecoverable exceptions ISOCOMP101: Too few commandline arguments specified.

Accessing IsoComp/2 for WIN32

The port IsoComp/2 to windows is part of the XComp/2 source code archive, both for the modified source code and the exectuable itself.

Note: You have to have access to an OS/2 PC to decrypt the encrypted source code archive, because I provide the decryption executable only for OS/2. These tools are for OS/2 users who are forced to used Windows sometimes, but not for users that uncritically help to extend the power of the evil's empire monopoly!
