Alter as needed for FreeDos instead of OpenDos

--- makelive.bat ---
@echo off
cd \doscdrb3
echo Place a diskette in drive A:
echo Place a blank CD-R in the burner
pause

rem format the diskette and make it bootable
format a: /s

rem copy all files needed for booting the system to the diskette
xcopy \doscdrb3\opendos7\boot\*.* a:\*.* /H /S /V

rem make an image of the diskette and move it to the 'root' dir
call readboot.bat
move opendos7.img opendos7\root\*.*

rem make the ISO CD image of everything else we want on the CD
make9660.exe -p -m opendos7\root\ opendos7 opendos7\opendos7.iso

rem make the image bootable
mkbootcd.exe opendos7\opendos7.iso bootcatx.bin opendos7.img

if "%1"=="dvd-rw" goto dvd-rw
rem load the burner driver and burn the image to the CD
rem SCSI CD-R
call add_scsi.bat
file2cd.exe opendos7\opendos7.iso /beep /eject /noconfirm /nounderrun
goto end

:dvd-rw
rem load the burner driver and burn the image to the CD
rem DVD-RW
addev.com aspi.sys
?cdtools /format /id=0:0:0
file2cd.exe opendos7\opendos7.iso /beep /eject /id=0:0:0 /noconfirm /nounderrun
deldev aspi.sys
del c:\aspi.log

:end
