Check out: http://hotel04.ausys.se/pausch/apple2 and download the C source for FID available there. FID is a program written in portable ANSI C which allows you to peek at the contents of files in .dsk images, and optinally save them on your disk. Applesoft and Integer Basic programs are de-tokenized by FID when doing this. Since FID is written in portable ANSI C, it compliles and runs fine on both Linux and Windows machines -- in the latter case as a console application, or even as a 16-bit DOS program if you're still running 16-bit Windows. On UNIX it compiles under both cc and gcc -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Swedish Amateur Astronomer's Society (SAAF) Grev Turegatan 40, S-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at saaf dot se or paul.schlyter at ausys dot se WWW: http://hotel04.ausys.se/pausch http://welcome.to/pausch
