1mkhybrid can be compiled on Win9X/NT4 using Cygnus' cygwin
2available from:
3
4	http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
5
6To build, start a "bash" shell (open a DOS/Command window, cd to the required
7directory and type "bash"), and type "./configure" and "make"
8
9A pre-compiled current Win32 binary is available from:
10
11	ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs/win32
12
13To use the pre-compiled binary, extract the files from the Zip archive, put
14the files cygwin1.dll, mount.exe and mkhybrid.exe in your WINDOWS directory
15and from a Command/MS-DOS window type mkhybrid for usage (also see
16mkhybrid_man.html).
17
18mkhybrid is a Unix command line utility and knows nothing about DOS/WIN.
19Therefore all directory names are given in Unix format (i.e. use '/' for a
20directory separator, not '\'). To access files on another disk (i.e.
21floppy, CDROM and network disk), you need to use the supplied "mount"
22command e.g.
23
24mount a: /a
25mount d: /cdrom
26
27i.e. files on the floppy disk are accessed as being in directory /a and
28files on the CDROM are accessed as /cdrom (assuming your CDROM is drive d:)
29e.g. the following command creates a CD image in the current directory
30using a source directories on the CDROM drive, a sub-directory and the
31floppy drive:
32
33mkhybrid -o hfs.iso -h -J -r /cdrom/subdir dir1 /a
34
35Please note: Starting with v1.12b5.0 the Win32 executable uses the b20.1
36version of the cygwin DLL. If you are using an earlier version of mkhybrid,
37then you will need this DLL as well.
