doctor_x Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Does anyone know if there were any apps written by the scene, for the scene as far as file xfer apps go? By this i mean things like disk communicators, BBS type programs, term programs, etc? Obviously there are plenty of apps for the Atari that did these things.. I'm asking pointedly about applications that were written specifically for software piracy/trading warez.. There are quite a few like this that were written for the C64 - which led me to wonder if there were any for Atari8.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Apparently this site has recently been started in an attempt to get that kind of stuff together. It seems that you have to register to see what's there, though, and I haven't, so I don't know how far they've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Jefferson Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 There was Disk Communicator 3, of course. That was huge, since you could "zip up" whole disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a coincidence that your post appeared just after that site was announced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Phew... For a moment, I thought you had some contagious form of carmel_andrewsitis... Doctor_X, I'm fairly sure you can find some of these programs on Bellcom disks. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Wasn't there Copy 2 Plus? Forgot if it was for DOS or Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bf2k+ Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I think I used Copy2Plus on Apple ][ systems. Had a Copy 2 Option board for my old IBM PC. In fact I think I still have that board somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
