[-retry COUNT] [-pcdos] [-apricot] DISKIMAGE [DSKIMAGE...]
DESCRIPTION
Apriboot rewrites the boot sector of the selected disc (or image), con‐
verting it between standard PCDOS format and the format used by the
Apricot PC / Xi / F-series computers.
OPTIONS-type TYPE
Determines which driver is to be used.
-retry COUNT
Set the number of times to attempt to read the disc in case of
error.
-comp COMP
Select the compression method used on the source disc image file
(has no effect when reading a floppy disc).
-side SIDE
Determines which side (0 or 1) of the disc (image) is to be
identified.
-format FORMAT
Selects a fixed format. Should not be necessary.
-apricot
Forces the program to convert to Apricot format; if the boot
sector is already in Apricot format, does nothing.
-pcdos Forces the program to convert to PCDOS format; if the boot sec‐
tor is already in PCDOS format, does nothing. If neither -pcdos
nor -apricot is supplied, the boot sector will be set to the
opposite of whatever is currently in use.
