[Coco] Another Coco Virtual Disk Util

[Walt Zydhek]

Question.. the 2 files you just sent me. The NEW version (RiBBS Archive.vhd,
not plural), was it created and copied to BEFORE I fixed the sector
allocation in directory creation? Because it looks like it. I see
directories with their initial segment having a single sector.  And
comparing it to the source version, I can see where the freespace went in
the source. It is using a default segment allocation of $20 (when
directories are created, it allocates 32 sectors automatically instead of
the norm of 8). Please check your SAS value for your drive in DMODE and see
if it says $08 or $20. Regardless, if the Destination version was created
and copied to AFTER my fix to directory sector allocation, then there is
another bug there somewhere, as it should be creating initial segments for
directories at the default PD.SAS value of 8 sectors.

I used RiBBS Archive (the new copy) as source.
I created a vhd image 5760 tracks, 64 sectors/track. Free Space after
format:

94323456

I drag'd the root directory from the source vhd to the destination vhd.
Source vhd free space: 89308928 (this was the new copy yesterday)
Destination vhd free space: 89299200 (after copying) The original source vhd
free space: 89196000

All disks had the same amount of free space when formatted and before
copying any files. There may be a few deleted files in the original, but I
don't think it's over 100k worth when the average filesize for files I
create are <4K overall.
