Tim Mann has updated his CatWeasel read/write utilities to v4.4. Changes are:
* The Linux binaries included in this distribution are compiled on a 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS system. The MS-DOS binaries are still compiled with a version of djgpp from the year 2000, under djgpp. The MS-DOS binaries are untested at the time of this release.
* Updated to the current Catweasel MK4 firmware from Individual Computers, moving from pre29.cw4 to rel2f2.cw4. Changed catweasl.c slightly to work with the new firmware — the write pulse width now must be set.
* Fixed cw2dmk bug where the total sectors read in each encoding counted all retries, not just the last one.
* Added -r option to cw2dmk and dmk2cw to reverse the sides. This is mostly to help split/join disks that have a separate one-sided image on each side but were written with a double-sided drive (that is, they are not flippy) to/from two separate DMK images.
* Fixed an incompatibility with newer versions of libpci that had prevented recompiled Linux binaries from recognizing a PCI Catweasel.
* Added a dmk2cw option to use only a prefix of the track in the DMK file.
* Changed the way dmk2cw generates fill data when the DMK track is shorter than needed to fill the disk. Added an option to select some alternative fill methods.
* Some small fixes and cleanups, mostly in documentation and messages.
