NAME
     apriboot - rewrite disc boot sector, converting between Apricot and PCDOS

SYNOPSIS
     apriboot  [-format  FORMAT]  [-type TYPE] [-side SIDE] [-comp COMP] [-retry
     COUNT] [-pcdos] [-apricot] DISKIMAGE [DSKIMAGE...]

DESCRIPTION
     Apriboot rewrites the boot sector of the selected disc (or image), convert-
     ing it between standard PCDOS format and the format used by the Apricot  PC
     / Xi / F-series computers.

OPTIONS
     -type TYPE
	    Determines which driver is to be used.

     -retry COUNT
	    Set  the  number of times to attempt to read the disc in case of er-
	    ror.

     -comp COMP
	    Select the compression method used on the  source  disc  image  file
	    (has no effect when reading a floppy disc).

     -side SIDE
	    Determines	which side (0 or 1) of the disc (image) is to be identi-
	    fied.

     -format FORMAT
	    Selects a fixed format. Should not be necessary.

     -apricot
	    Forces the program to convert to Apricot format; if the boot  sector
	    is already in Apricot format, does nothing.

     -pcdos
	    Forces the program to convert to PCDOS format; if the boot sector is
	    already  in PCDOS format, does nothing. If neither -pcdos nor -apri-
	    cot is supplied, the boot sector will be  set  to  the  opposite  of
	    whatever is currently in use.
