atrax27407 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Does a program exist (or is it possible to write one) to import and extract the files contained in a .dsk file directly on the TI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a TIPI as I use TIDir to do this directly from PC to TI using the TIPI and a mapped network drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrax27407 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 My current process is to use TIDir and take the resultant 3.5" disk, turn around in my swivel chair, and run PC-TRANSFER to move them to my TI. I was hoping that there might be a program written on the TI, that would import the .dsk file to the TI and extract the files. Probably too much to ask.

+OLD CS1 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The disk backup program on the DU2K disk I got (apparently) does this. I have not tested it with a DSK image made off the TI, but it should work as the formats are identical (less the extra 1k or 2k of zeros when creating an image.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIDir does not have that issue plus I can open and look at files unlike normal file from Windows will not open files like a XB program but TIDir will. Plus Windows does not allow you to view files from PC like XB or Object files or DV80 or GRAM files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example a bug I hate is making all files lower case when the filename was ALL UPPPER CASE! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
