I'm even trying to parse the file systems so the
user can extract files from certain formats. I'm
starting with the Tandy/TRS-80 Model II line file systems (and there were a few) such as
TRSDOSII,
Xenix (file system and tar), TRSDOS16, LS-DOS and several CP/M formats.
Like it or not, I'm using ImageDisk as the standard to store and access file content.
It is much
easier to parse than some of the other disk formats out there, and is quite well defined.
Hi Kelly,
One of the things I plan to do "someday" is to put together some tools to
provide read/write
access to ImageDisk images at the file level - Hopefully using some kind of
"definition file" to
spec. how to decode the file system, so that support for new file systems can be easily
added
(at the very least - create a skeleton to provide a consistant user interface, and the
.IMD file
access, sector read/write and other manipulation functions).
Haven't had time lately to really get started, however if you (or anyone else) is
interested in
working together on such a project, I am more than willing to help.
Regards,
Dave
