devwebcl Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hi, Anybody knows if is there a command line utility to make ATR image files. Similar to MAKEATR from Ken Siders, but letting insert several files. (and not making it automatically a boot disk). Cheers, Devwebcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try unix2atr, from Preston Crow... despite the name, it also runs on DOS/Windows. http://www.crowcastle.net/preston/atari/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 you can also try franny http://sourceforge.net/projects/atari8 And I remember Jindroush has some atr tools on his page (You have to use some mirror now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchlay Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Here's the mirrored page with Jindroush's utils: http://www.atarimax.com/jindroush.atari.org/asoft.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I see it misses some contruct definitions) Do you have a win32 binary for that program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I see it misses some contruct definitions) Do you have a win32 binary for that program? I don't... but on the site, there's a DOS .EXE which ought to run fine on Windows (it doesn't do any direct hardware access or anything, just reads/writes stdio file streams). If that won't work, you could try compiling with Cygwin instead of MinGW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I was sitting here waiting for a CD to finish burning, and doing nothing else anyway, so I've just compiled a win32 binary of my locally-modified copy of unix2atr... I added a -b option, for creating blank disk images. Compiled with a Cygwin cross-compiler on my Linux box, completely untested. ZIP file includes .exe, cygwin1.dll, and a PDF manual for unix2atr that I created myself, yesterday unix2atr_win32.zip Enjoy! Edit: Ehh, the DLL in the ZIP file needs to be renamed to "cygwin1.dll", I forgot. Edited May 23, 2007 by Urchlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bf2k+ Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Real DOS 1 (build 24) has a nice little A8 version of Make_ATR. I have used it a few times to create images in APE for backing up my MIO HDs. Can optionally format if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to compile this prog. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urchlay Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 thanks a lot! I have dowloaded and I'm going to try it out!thanks! Eh, so, did it work OK? I'm working on creating a "master package" of all the little A8-related utilities, including a few of my own, plus a few modifications (like the -b switch for unix2atr), and documentation for the existing ones that lack it (man pages, which also can be converted into nice PDFs)... main platform is Linux, but if they can also work on Windows, that's a bonus.

Beetle Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi i know, its not command line, but if you use "Total Commander" on windows, check out MadTeam's ATR plugin for it. With the plugin installed and configured, TC can handle atr files just like folders or zipfiles, copy files into and out of it without hassle. Get it on this page (scroll down a bit) http://madteam.atari8.info/index.php?prod=uzytki Greets, Beetle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Neat!! I have a plugin for total commander that allows a PC to read Xbox format discs as well. I'll have to check out this ATR plugin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
