Abstract:
A method, using a first computer platform, initiated by a User, for reconstituting original native data files from an original source platform computer using a Master Control Program, which were burned on a CD-ROM, as industry-standard byte stream data files, comprising the steps of:(a) accessing, by said first computer platform, a CD-ROM file having industry-standard byte stream data files to be processed for reconstitution of an exact copy of said original native data files;(b) entering an UNWRAP command on said first computer platform;(c) executing an MCP.sub.-- FILEWRAPPER program and then calling an MCP.sub.-- WRAPPER program;(d) executing said MCP.sub.-- WRAPPER program and storing an original checksum, of said CD-ROM file, in a local main memory;(e) calculating a new checksum for the data on said CD-ROM file;(f) verifying that the calculated checksum matches the original checksum;(g) closing the said CD-ROM file after the proper matching of said checksums;(h) depositing an exact copy of said original native data files, of said original source computer platform, on a resultant file disk of said first computer platform.
