In one of these modes you really can split partially or whole HDD space onto set of 640k partitions. But this mode is for compatibility with old software only. There are two more mores with absolutely different layout (including whole HDD space as ONE large disk). > So the diskimages are usually 640kB "*.TRD" files (there's also > "compressed" form "*.SCL"). Theose .SCL fires aren't disk image. They are made to hold files of just one program, while .TRD will have a lot of unused space. That "compressed" form of .TRD images called "Flexible size TRD". It is the same TRD with unused space removed. > Sometimes "*.$?" files are used to every file separately (only for > transportation). Do you mean Hobeta files ? I hope not much people use them now.
