Depends exactly what he's using them for... the raw .dsk files are all very fine and well for use in SimCoupe, but I suspect Gavin is trying to use the disk images in a real Sam, so they really need to go on a more solid medium. Gavin - if it helps, I've got a (really quite quickly hacked together) Mac program which will let you [retrieve files from | store files in] a .dsk image... that may or may not be useful, depending on exactly what you're trying to achieve! I *think* something very similar exists for other O/Ss already... but if someone wants to look at my source, I can put it up somewhere. There's just a couple of functions which will need to be changed in order to run it on other platforms... >I would be really happy if someone will convert at least teledisk files to >sad/dsk (The Lyra III etc.). The Lyra 3 is already there in .dsk format. That was done weeks ago. I know, because I did it myself. >(As you know, you cannot assign one suffix to several programs in Win32. >And since Win32 is the main op.system in the world, we should follow its >rules.) If everybody took that attitude, there's no reason to be on this mailing list...
