make DDF files

[the_guy]

Does anyone know how to make a .ddf file for makecab? I'm planning on redoing my option pack with the hotfixes directly integrated into the install of the program. I need to know how to do this so I can repackage internet explorer.

Here is one of my old DDE files for a Ghost/Emergency Recovery boot disk I still use. They are just text files.

; DIAMOND Directive File (.ddf)for EBD.cab
.OPTION EXPLICIT
; Generate errors on variable typos
.Set CabinetNameTemplate=EBD.cab
.Set Cabinet=on
.Set Compress=on

;The files specified below are stored, compressed, in the cabinet file
ASPI8DOS.SYS
ASPIPPM1.SYS

Here you can find makecab.doc - rather old, but I think there were not many changes:
