Well, I *could* simply extract a test file from a disk image and compare it to
another file already in the PC file system. There are two problems, though: 1.
This will require a little extra work, even when using batch files, and; 2. it
won't help with
testing a SFX file: I can't compare memory to a file on disk. I know about the
VERIFY command, but it will not be available after decrunching (spelling
check!) the program in memory and before running the program.
I am mainly trying to compare two files on a floppy disk image or one on a
floppy image to a program in memory for the purpose of debugging file
compression.
