Success! Restoring Windows without using windows
de Howard Schwartz 04/18/2006 02:56
In a previous thread I asked what backup/restore programs could backup and
restore windows, in cluding LFNs, without itself using windows.
I found the info zip's programs, zip32.exe and unzip32.zip will create and
extract files with long filenames, if they are in the same directory as
cwsdpmi.exe, the protected mode and 32-bit service for dos, and if the
long filename API is made availabe by loading a tsr like doslfn.
Thus any backup or archive program can create an archive that uses zip
copression using windows. If windows stops working, one can restore
any and all files using the zip utilities, cwsdpmi, and doslfn -- as
described above.
