5. Running the system

5.1 How to start

Enter the command in the following format from the DOS prompt. Options must be preceded by a hyphen '-' or a slash '/'.

C:> addcdw [-option...]

The option can be a subcommand or a subcommand file.
Subcommands are instructions for editing the contents of a CD-R disc. For details, see " 6. Subcommands ."

(1) Command line specification

Subcommands are specified directly on the command line and are interpreted sequentially from the beginning.

C:> addcdw - subcommand 1=argument 1, argument 2 - subcommand 2=argument 1, argument 2 ...

(2) Subcommand file specification

This is a way to specify subcommands in a file instead of on the command line.
Each line is interpreted from the beginning of the file.

C:> addcdw -sub=path name of subcommand file

A file that describes a group of subcommands is called a subcommand file.
Use ";" to write comments in the subcommand file. The string from ";" to the end of the line is ignored.

5.2 Command examples

《Example 1》

C:> addcdw newdisc -s=2

1. Create a master disk based on newdisc.dsk and newdisc.toc in the current directory.

2. You cannot use a disc that has already been written.

3. Write at double speed.

4. The command that performs the same process is shown below. (-master can be omitted as in the example above)

C:> addcdw -master=newdisc -s=2

《Example 2》

C:> addcdw -debug=newdisc -s=4

1. Create a debugging disk by adding newdisc.dsk and newdisc.toc in the current directory.

2. Discs can be reused.

3. Write at 4x speed. (default value)

《Example 3》

C:> addcdw -replace=\dir1\file1.dat,file1_1.dat

1. Replace \DIR1\FILE1.DAT on the disk with file1_1.dat in the current directory.
   Do not change the file name.

《Example 4》

C:> addcdw -sub=discedit.cdw -t

discedit.cdw

---

;comment delete = \file1.dat

add = \file1_1.dat, subdir\file1.dat

s = 2

---

1. Delete FILE1.DAT in the root directory of newdisc.dsk.

2. Add subdir\file1.dat on DOS to the root directory of the disk with the name FILE1_1.DAT.

3. Write at 2x speed in test mode. (-t on the command line also works)

1. Based on newdisc.sct, newdisc.toc, newdisc.pvd in the current directory,
   Create discs on the fly.
   The disk created on the fly is a debug disk.
