++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++File injector for PCem/86Box, v0.1                viler@int10h.org, 2020-04-15++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++DESCRIPTION  A quick-and-dirty tool to enable easy, automated file transfers from a  Windows host to a running machine in PCem/86Box (especially if it runs DOS).  No need to shut down/restart the emulator, to set up virtual networking, or  to manually create/mount/eject floppy disk images.    This tool uses the disk image approach, but does it transparently, in one  click.  Useful if you tend to update sets of files very often - for example,  if you do your DOS programming with native Windows tools on the host PC, and  switch to the emulator for quick testing and debugging (this was my own  motivation for making it).REQUIREMENTS  * PCem (tested with v15) or 86Box (tested with v2.07)    * ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver (http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/#ImDisk)  CONTENTS  PCemuFileInjector.exe (MD5 = 51eb345980b89a853fdb88a846946781)USAGE  Just run File Injector, choose the appropriate options on the right, and  select (or drag & drop) the files you want to copy.    Whenever you have the emulator window open at the DOS prompt, you can simply  click "Inject files", and it'll do all the work for you - including COPY/  XCOPY commands, if you select the respective option.OPTIONS  The on-screen labels should be self-explanatory, but here goes:    * Temporary disk image size: covers the likely diskette formats, from    360 KB (5.25" DD) up to 2880 KB (3.5" ED).        * Emulator: the choices specify the PCem and 86Box versions which I actually    tested, but it should work just fine with other/future versions as long as    they retain the relevant menu controls.      * Mount As: the emulated drive letter to be used in the PCem or 86Box guest.    * Action to be performed after mounting:    - Do nothing (just keeps the disk image in the drive)    - COPY files to the current DOS working directory ("copy #:\*.* /y")    - XCOPY files and folders to the current DOS working directory      ("xcopy #:\*.* /e /y")      ("#" is replaced with the drive letter selected in the previous option)  * Debug output: adds verbose logging during the automated process; can be    useful for troubleshooting.    DETAILS  So how does this work, exactly?  * First, the tool looks for an unused drive letter on the host, and for an    active PCem/86Box window (depending on your selection); in the emulator    window, it ejects any current floppy image in the chosen drive, to avoid    conflicts.  * Back on the host side, it calls ImDisk to create a new diskette image in    your %TEMP% folder, format it at the selected size, and attach it to the    unused drive letter.  * If all is well, it copies your selected files/folders to the virtual disk,    and releases the temporary drive letter.  Sometimes it takes a short while    for all resources to unlock, so it tries to disengage politely first - if    that fails 5 times, it does a forced eject.  * Was everything copied successfully?  If so, it switches to the emulator    window and mounts the temporary image.  * If you picked the COPY or XCOPY options, it will also send the respective    DOS command as keystrokes, so that means the guest machine has to be at    the DOS prompt in the target directory.NOTES/DISCLAIMER  * Problems should be rare, but I've only tested this on two host machines    (one running Win7, one Win10) so I don't really know - if there are any    major issues, and the debug output is no help, feel free to contact.  * This is a public domain release.  Also, no obligations or warranties are    given - whatever happens, I will not be held responsible.  * (During development, one of my work-in-progress versions somehow trigged a    false positive antivirus alert, but the finished version didn't, so I hope    you don't get one either.)
