The usual round-up of non-Apple II applications. All of these assume you have converted your floppies to disk images. Presumably you were planning to export your detokenized BASIC programs somewhere else anyway, so you might as well copy them over as disk images first. Under UNIX (or most anything else with a command-line interface), you can use A2FID to transfer files and detokenize Applesoft programs from DOS disk images. Free, source code available. See also "a2tools" on the same site. http://home.tiscali.se/pausch/apple2/dsk.html Under Windows, you can use CiderPress to transfer files and detokenize Applesoft from DOS, ProDOS, Pascal, CP/M, and RDOS disk images. Shareware, limited evaluation period. http://www.faddensoft.com/ciderpress/ Under Windows, you can use FishWings to transfer files and detokenize Applesoft from DOS and ProDOS disks. Free. http://www3.bboard.com/charlied/FishwingsInfo.htm Under Mac OS, you can use ADFS to transfer files and detokenize Applesoft from DOS, ProDOS, Pascal, and CP/M disk images. Free alpha evaluation. http://www.lazilong.com/apple_II/adfs/ Under a Java VM, you can use Apple Commander to transfer files and detokenize Applesoft from DOS, ProDOS, Pascal, and RDOS disk images. Free. http://applecommander.sourceforge.net/ I recommend CiderPress, but I have a slight bias. :-) If you decide to do them by hand, don't forget to "POKE 33,33" before you list to avoid line breaks. -- Send mail to fadden@fadden.com (Andy McFadden) - http://www.fadden.com/ CD-Recordable FAQ - http://www.cdrfaq.org/ CiderPress Apple II archive utility for Windows - http://www.faddensoft.com/ Fight Internet Spam - http://spam.abuse.net/spam/ & http://spamcop.net/ Bill Garber wrote: >> > listings to plain text files?

You're still doing it the hard way. :-) Select the Applesoft files you want listings of (easiest way is to click on the "Type" header so the BAS files all sort together, then click on the top one and shift-click on the bottom one). Select Extract, and then hit the "Configure for easy access in Windows" button. The files will be extracted as text listings. With this approach you can convert all files on a disk in about 3 seconds. -- Send mail to fadden@fadden.com (Andy McFadden) - http://www.fadden.com/ CD-Recordable FAQ - http://www.cdrfaq.org/ CiderPress Apple II archive utility for Windows - http://www.faddensoft.com/ Fight Internet Spam - http://spam.abuse.net/spam/ & http://spamcop.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In article <1fzln47.qympnleaks6iN%email@luddite.ca>, Simon Williams wrote: >Are there any utilities that automatically convert Applesoft program >listings to plain text files?

";N$:?CHR$(4)"OPEN "N$:?CHR$(4)"WRITE "N$:LIST -63998:?CHR$(4)"CLOSE" RUN 63999 - --- trim here --- That would save you a fair bit of typing...EXEC the file, punch in the name under which you want to dump the program, and let it go to town. As long as the program doesn't have lines 63998-63999 in it already, this'll work. _/_ Scott Alfter / v \ salfter@salfter.dyndns.org (IIGS( http://alfter.us Top-posting! \_^_/ pkill -9 /bin/laden >What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/Ol5XVgTKos01OwkRAmGsAKDRN9E46s4Svgfr56FuiTMFGHM//wCg9sBl 8pTWbhZTC6NkuYbR0oTsVbo= =HdT4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
