+----------------------
+
+Users of this software must accept this disclaimer of warranty:  "This
+software is supplied AS IS.  Mark Becker disclaims all warranties, expressed

+
+
+Purpose
+-------
+
+Write a disk image file to a floppy disk.
+
+
+Equipment/Software Requirements
+-------------------------------
+
+ * PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible with at least 256K of RAM and a floppy disk
+   drive.
+
+ * MS-DOS version 3.21 or greater.
+
+ * A formatted diskette.
+
+This program uses well-documented generic low-level DOS and BIOS functions.
+It should run on nearly every PC in existance.  PS/2's should be able to run
+RaWrite but this has not been tested.
+   
+
+CAVEAT
+------
+
+This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
+information that may have been present.  If you wish to re-use a diskette
+that has been written to by RaWrite then that diskette will probably need to
+be reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+C> RAWRITE
+
+And follow the prompts.  All arguments are case-insensitive.
+
+If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
+to swap diskettes as required.  Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
+reduce the number of disk swaps.
+
+RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.
+
+
+Errors
+------
+
+RaWrite attempts to determine if the diskette is a 1.44M, 1.2M, 720K, or 360K
+diskette by reading sectors 18, 15, and 9 in that order.  If the inserted
+diskette is not one of the these types, then RaWrite will abort with an error
+message.
+
+Errors such as write protect, door open, bad disk, bad sector, etc. cause a
+program abort with a short error message.
