1. This fmt-module for PlugIns MultiArc allows to enter into files - images
   FAT of disks, as in archives, provided that an image "in the pure state"
   without compression.

2. Operations  of listing, extraction and "testing" are supported. For work
   of last two operations for
   - Images of diskettes it is necessary ImDiEx.exe v.4.x and latter
   - Than images of hard disks (multivolume)-ImDiEx v.5.x and latter
	accessible in PATH.
   - Long File Names at the images disks ImDiEx v.6.x and latter accessible
   in PATH.

3. It was tested on Far Manager 1.70 beta 4 build 1282 with files - images:

    XDF,  IMG,  DDI,  IMA,  FDR(Floppy  Disk  Reanimator),  XDF,  Images of
    DiskEdit,   VFD  (Connectix  Virtual  PC  Floppy  Image),  FLP  (VMware
    workstation Floppy Image), DIS (Linux Boot Diskette 2.88Mb)

>  VHD (Connectix/Microsoft Virtual PC HDD Image),  VMDK (VMWare Disk)

   //  With these HDD in the images Plugins yet absolutely completely works
       (as well as ImDiEx).
   * From  VMDK  to process it is possible only VirtualMachineName.vmdk the
     othe - VirtualMachineName-02.vmdk, VirtualMachineName-03.vmdk not have
     necessary   ImDiEx   items  and  consequently  while  we  (shall hope)
     are ignored.

   * Last version ImDiEx accessible on the site http://kcinkh.mailru.com

4. Install.
   ) To unpack archive and to copy received file ImDiEx.fmt in a folder
   "%FarFolder%\Plugins\MultiArc\Formats" and restart FAR Manager.

   ) For  work  with  HDD  in  the  images  IF  THEY  BY  DEFAULT  ARE NOT
      DISTINGUISHED,  it  is  necessary  to  add  in  a  file "%FarFolder%\
      \Plugins\MultiArc\Formats\custom.ini"    records  on  an  image  and
      similarity of contents of file VHD.ini for desirable expansions.
      Then it is necessary restart FAR Manager. If not has helped to remove
      these  records for acceleration of work better and to inform me about
      detection "new":) a format of an image of a disk with the instruction
      of the program of the manufacturer of this image.
