flx8 is windows command line but I ported it to Linux without that much
difficulty.

Some usage in this manual

A modified version does my disk images on my website (under Linux).

The web page generation is tied into it but parts of the code are likely
useful. Its based on an older version of the flx8 source. If its useful
to you I can send you a copy.

I've got tools that will unpack OS/8 images into files,
which work on Linux and Cygwin (they are Perl scripts).
It is on my to-do list to make the thing that glues all
the little files back together to form a new OS/8 image.

Besides PUTR are there any tools for reading and writing to pdp8 OS8 device
images? Something with source for Linux maybe?
