Thanks for those instructions, Christoph.

There are pros and cons with each method so choose the one that works best for you.

In Christoph's DOSLink example, aLIFhdr, authored by JFG, is used to convert the DOS text file to LIF1 by the /T switch and then prepend a 32-byte LIF file header. HPDir accomplishes the same thing using the -c(onvert) option and by detecting the filetype from the file extension.

The LIF file header contains the file size in nibbles, in the case of binary files. liftool, by Christophe Gottheimer, doesn't support the copying of binary files to LIF disc images because binary files of an odd number of nibbles in size occupy an even number of nibbles in the DOS file system. LIFUTILS can only import binary files with a LIF file header. Does aLIFhdr handle binary file size correctly?
