Hi Don,

I've never seen that one!
That isn't the one I have here!

OS/2      Ctrl+Esc = Window List       Type HELP = help
[384SDRAM K:\UNFILED\experimental\RAREAD]raread -h
raread: make image file from 3.5 inch diskette
Synopsis: raread [-dhe] drive imagefile
 where:
    -d           forces DD (720K) diskette type
    -h           forces HD (1.44MB) diskette type
    -e           forces ED (2.88MB) diskette type
    drive        is the drive to be read from
    imagefile    is the name of the file to contain the diskette image

Examples:  raread a: boot.img
           raread -e a: bigboot.img

If the diskette size is not specified, an attempt is made to determine
the actual media type. If this is not possible, or the decision is wrong,
the -d, -e or -h flags can be used to specify the diskette density.

This is version 2.0 (32-bit), by Bob Eager (rde{at}tavi.co.uk)
A 16-bit dual mode (DOS and OS/2) version is also available.

[384SDRAM K:\UNFILED\experimental\RAREAD]rareadb -h
rareadb: make image file from 3.5 inch diskette
Synopsis: rareadb [-dhe] drive imagefile
 where:
    -d           forces DD (720K) diskette type
    -h           forces HD (1.44MB) diskette type
    -e           forces ED (2.88MB) diskette type
    drive        is the drive to be read from
    imagefile    is the name of the file to contain the diskette image

Examples:  rareadb a: boot.img
           rareadb -e a: bigboot.img

This is version 2.0 (16-bit dual mode), by Bob Eager (rde{at}tavi.co.uk)
A 32-bit OS/2-only version is also available.
Currently running in OS/2 mode.

So someone else must have given you that one!
