biobot/!BEEBARC/DOCS/DFS_SP~1

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

A command-line utility to split DFS disk images.


Usage
=====

Usage: DFS_Split <parameters>

Parameters:
-----------

 <source file>	Source disk image. Must be of an Acorn DFS (or compatible)
		disk, either .ssd (single-sided) or .dsd (double-sided)
		format.

 <dest dir>	Destination directory. Will be created if necessary.

 -side <drv>	Unpack one or both sides of a .dsd image. The 'drive' number
		must be ":0", ":2", or ":0:2" (meaning both sides).
		*** Do *not* use this option for .ssd images!

 -65Host	Unpack to 65Host format (see your Applications Guide for
		details). Directories for the drive numbers will be created
		automatically; filename conversion is performed.
		If not present, directories with single-character names are
		created as required (6502Em format).

 -v		Verbose
