What is WinImage?

• Create a disk image from a floppy,
• Extract file(s) from a disk image,
• Create empty disk images,
• Inject files and directories into an existing disk image,
• Change a disk image format,
• Defragment a disk image,
• Support for non-standard disk formats (DMF, 1.68MB...),
• A powerful "Batch assistant" mode that lets you automate many operations,
• And many more!


WinImage uses a modern, cutting edge Windows interface, and is available for Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, and Windows NT in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. WinImage is available on Intel x86, Dec Alpha, Mips R4000, and PowerPC platforms for Windows NT.

WinImage is shareware. You may evaluate it for a trial period of 30 days. After 30 days, if you wish to continue using WinImage, you need to register. Click here to download WinImage.



New for version 6.10

• Compatibility with some CDRom images file (some version of Easy CD Creator…) is added
• Displaying very large directory (>500 files by example) is faster again. Useful for ISO or hard disk image
• Several minor bug fixes.

  New for version 6.0

• The /MAKESFX option is fixed (for creating SFX .EXE from the command line).
• New Self Extractor command line options.
• WinImage can now open/read/write Linux EXT2fs images, but will not interpret the contents of the file system (like Macintosh floppies).
• Displaying very large directories (for instance, images with more than 500 files) is faster. Useful for ISO CD-ROM images.
• Better support of DBCS resource files under Windows 2000.
• File may be saved with a password. WinImage uses the MD5 algorithm to build a 128 bit key, with Rijndael encryption. For more info, see http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~rijmen/rijndael/index.html. Before sending an encrypted file, check to see if the laws of your country permit 128 bit encryption.
• Files in .ISO CD-ROM images can may replaced with a file that has the SAME LENGTH, and the SAME FILENAME as the original file. Note: This is because the .ISO file format is not designed to allow later modifications.
• When starting under Windows 2000 (or Windows NT4) with and old and buggy ASPI layer, previous WinImage versions sometimes crashed. This has been fixed.
• WinImage can now be installed with a self-installing setup executable.
• More minor bug fixes.

New for version 5.0

• File Properties allow you to modify the names and attributes of files within images.
• Better international support: WinImage and self-extracting files can be now translated to Far Eastern languages (like Japanese).
• The CD-ROM ISO image creation option is now compatible with Windows 95/98.
• Inject and Extract progress dialog boxes contain a "Stop" button.
• The delete option can now delete non-empty subdirectory in disk images (and do recursive deletes).
• The open a Fat32 option is faster and has better support for large FAT32 partitions.
• The documentation now officially mentions WinImage Year 2000 compatibility (but previous versions were already fully Y2K compliant).

  And only in professional mode :

• File Properties allow modification of the dates of files within disk images.
• Self extractor file creation is now integrated into the WinImage interface, and SFX executables are now localized (in WinImage 4.0, SFX files were only in English).
• More options in the self extractor.
• The WinImage SDK has been released.
  

  These features were added in version 4.00:

• Command line options.
• There is now a true wizard (several screens with Next and Previous buttons!) as an alternative to the Batch assistant dialog box.
• Under Windows NT, WinImage can directly open a Fat32 partition on the disk (useful because Windows NT 4.0 cannot directly read Fat32 partitions).
• Batch options can be saved in a .BWZ file.
• Option to display an icon in taskbar while WinImage is working.
• Option to automatically show the WinImage window when user input is needed.
• Toolbar buttons are modernized.
• Only a Win32 version of WinImage is available. Users of Windows 3.1 need to install Win32s 1.30 to use WinImage.
And, in the professional version :
• Self extractor with an unlimited redistribution license
• You may export the directory of the current image file in text or HTML.
• You may print the directory of the image file
• Editable boot sector properties (i.e. loading another boot sector file, manually editing the text of the boot sector).
• Supports the creation of large images of removable disks and hard disks under Windows NT and Windows 95. Large images (> 2.88 MB) are not loaded in memory, read and write operations are done directly on image files.




These features were added in version 3.00:

• Adds ZIP compatible compressed image files (.IMZ and .WLZ)
• Adds comment to compressed image files
• Adds drag and drop from WinImage to Windows 95/Windows NT 4.0 Explorer for file extraction
• When you drag a file into WinImage without opening an image, WinImage will automatically display the "New" dialog box
• WinImage can copy MacIntosh 1.44 MB floppies, but it cannot view the files inside the image
• Under Windows NT, WinImage can build CD-ROM ISO compatible images




These features were added in version 2.50:

• Support of the new ListView control and tabbed dialog boxes for configuring settings under Windows NT 3.5x, Windows 95 and Win32s 1.30
• Open an Iso CDRom image in read-only mode
• Fixed a bug for formatting DMF floppy disks under Windows 95




These features were added in version 2.20:

• Support for Win32s for the 32 bit Intel version running under Windows 3.1x
• Explorer-like icons for Windows 95
• Improved DMF floppy disk support: Can read/write/format DMF disks under Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT
