One liner:
sample: used to create/make a single file of know content which can be used for various testing of other software.
If you wish to make multiple test files in multiple directories run the mktemp.exe program.
sample, is designed to create a single file of known content and size. This "sample" file can then be used as a file which can be passed to other software to test the operation of such software.
sample will ask the user three questions and then create a number of directories and
files based on the answers the user gives.
The first item the user enters is the name of the file to create. sample.txt
The second item the user enters is the size of the file create. 10000
If the filesize entered is not divisible by 512, the user is asked if they wish the filesize to be increased or
decreased to make a filesize up or down to 65536 or 64K which is divisible by 512 bytes.
This adjustment is so the user may create a file which generally will contain no file slack depencing on the cluster size set in the drive.
The User either enters size up, size down, or leave the size originally entered.
Then the user is asked if they wish the file to have all hex00s or what letter of the alphabet to populate the
file with.
If the file is greater than 1 Meg, the user is asked if checkpoints should be included every million characters.
This makes it easier for the user to find where they are when viewsing the file.
