ISO files support? #56

Open InterClaw opened 9 months ago

Does TDL support mounting of ISO files? I'm thinking of using it on my original hardware 486. Today I'm dependent on SHSUCD for mounting of ISO files for some games. Was wondering if this is something that TDL can do as well on its own?

It doesn't support it natively, but you can add your own handler for an .ISO by writing a batch script that count mount it and then dump you in a command.com shell to run it. When done, you could type "exit" which should return you back to TDL.

Because .ISOs are difficult for a real DOS system to store due to their size, I hadn't considered them during the design. I'll add this as a feature request and think about how I could support them.
