vrestore -- restore a ProDOS volume from a file (EXTERNAL) [v1.1]

syntax:  vrestore <pathname> <device number> [-f]

ex:      vrestore /my.disk/image.of.ram .32
         vrestore .61/ram5.image .52 -f

'vrestore' reconstructs a ProDOS volume from a file.  The file
must have been created earlier with 'vstore'.  The reconstructed
volume completely replaces any information on the destination
device.

The -f option forces 'vrestore' to destroy any existing data on
the destination disk without asking.  If you don't use -f, it
asks for permission first.

'vstore' and 'vrestore' are especially useful with RAM disks
that have no battery backup.  If the stored image was too big
to fit on one disk, 'vrestore' will prompt you to insert the
next disk in the same drive as the first one.

'vrestore' v1.1 assumes that the destination device has the
same number of blocks as the original volume (the one the image
was created from).  [A future version of 'vrestore' may allow
the destination device to be larger, provided the number of
bitmap blocks is the same.  One bitmap block is needed for
every 4096 blocks.]   Note: v1.1 actually doesn't even check the
number of blocks on the destination device.  You can restore
to a bigger device if you want to, but the extra blocks will not
be available for file storage.
