bytes overhead per file, and 135K for the MS-DOS system files.
Note: On drive D you can omit the 135K for the MS-DOS system files.
With Interlnk You can use Interlnk to copy files from drives C or D to the
host's working directory and then copy MAKEDISK.EXE to a working
directory on the host computer. You can then run MakeDisk on the host
computer. For more information on using Interlnk, see your JANUS user's
manual.
Without Interlnk You can run MakeDisk on the host computer without
Interlnk if you copy MAKEDISK.EXE to a working directory on the host
computer. You can also use the DOS COPY commands to copy additional
files from the companion disks instead of from drives C or D.

Since the use of subdirectories is fully supported by MakeDisk, you can
create and populate subdirectories in the working source directory.
You can create or copy a maximum of 125 files to the drive C root directory
or 128 files to drive D root directory. You can create or copy an infinite
number of files to subdirectories below the root directory, provided they
can fit in the allocated drive space.
• If you are adding new files to drives C or D, copy all files currently on
drives C or D as well as the new files to the working directory and its
subdirectories.
• If you are changing or replacing some of the existing files on drives C or
D, copy all files currently on drives C or D to the working directory and
its subdirectories. Edit the files you want to change or replace.
• If you are replacing all files on drives C or D, copy the files you want on
drives C or D to the working directory and its subdirectories.
• If you are deleting files from drives C or D, copy all files currently on
drives C or D to the working directory and its subdirectories. Delete the
files you want to remove from drives C or D.

disks, or you can use Interlnk to copy files from the JANUS drives C or D.
