5. System execution


5.1 How to start

Enter the following command from the DOS prompt. The option must be preceded by a hyphen "-" or a slash "/".

C:> addcdw [-options ...]

The option can be a subcommand or a subcommand file.
A subcommand is a command for editing the contents of a CD-R disc. For details, refer to "6. Subcommands".

(1) Command line specification
It is interpreted in order from the beginning by specifying the subcommand directly from the command line.

C:> addcdw -Subcommand 1 = Argument 1, Argument 2 -Subcommand 2 = Argument 1, Argument 2 ...

(2) Subcommand file specification
A way to specify subcommands by file instead of the command line.
It is interpreted line by line from the beginning of the file.

C:> addcdw -sub = pathname of subcommand file

A file that describes a group of subcommands is called a subcommand file.
Use ";" to write a comment in the subcommand file. The character string from ";" to the end of the line is ignored.

5.2 Command example

<< Example 1 >>

C:> addcdw newdisc -s = 2

  1. Create a master disk based on newdisc.dsk and newdisc.toc in the current directory.

  2. You cannot use a burned disc.

  3. Write at double speed.

  4. The command that performs the same processing is shown below. (-Master can be omitted as in the above example)

C:> addcdw -master = newdisc -s = 2

<< Example 2 >>

C:> addcdw -debug = newdisc -s = 4

  1. Create a debug disk by adding all the data based on newdisc.dsk and newdisc.toc in the current directory.

  2. The disc can be reused.

  3. Write at 4x speed. (Default value)

<< Example 3 >>

C:> addcdw -replace = \ dir1 \ file1.dat, file1_1.dat

  1. Replace \ DIR1 \ FILE1.DAT on disk with file1_1.dat in the current directory.
    Do not change the file name.

<< Example 4 >>

C:> addcdw -sub = discedit.cdw -t

discedit.cdw

; Comment delete = \ file1.dat

add = \ file1_1.dat, subdir \ file1.dat

s = 2


  1. Delete FILE1.DAT in the root directory of newdisc.dsk.

  2. Add subdir \ file1.dat on DOS to the root directory of the disk with the name FILE1_1.DAT.

  3. Write in double speed, test mode. (Command line -t is also valid)

<< Example 5 >>

C:> addcdw -otf = newdisc -s = 2

  1. Based on newdisc.sct, newdisc.toc, newdisc.pvd in the current directory
    Create discs on the fly.
    The disc created by the on-the-fly method is a debug disc.

  2. The disc can be reused.

  3. Write at double speed.
