This is getting amusing..... almost.... He wanted to do it on Linux. So why are you pointing at software not running on Linux, while you keep silent of a piece of software which actually does the job on Linux: the freeware FID utility from my Apple II page: http://home.tiscali.se/pausch/apple2/ It compiles and runs fine on several Unices -- personally I've tested it on Free-BSD, HP-UX and AIX, but it should run fine on Linux as well. Just compile the single C soruce file with gcc ..... And now you know why I wrote this as a CLI rather than a GUI application: then it becomes _p_o_r_t_a_b_l_e_ to other OS'es ...... yes it runs fine on 16-bit MS-DOS and 32-bit Windows as well..... the only reason it won't run on a Mac is because the Mac enforces a GUI on you, it has no command line.... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Grev Turegatan 40, SE-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at stockholm dot bostream dot se WWW: http://www.stjarnhimlen.se/ http://home.tiscali.se/pausch/ In article , Greg Buchner wrote: > In article , > pausch@saaf.se (Paul Schlyter) wrote: > >> the only reason >> it won't run on a Mac is because the Mac enforces a GUI on you, it has >> no command line.... > > Mac OS X is BSD Unix.

To compile it, you simply type one of (assuming fid.c is in your current directory): cc fid.c -o fid or gcc fid.c -o fid depending on the name of your C compiler (a C compiler is included in all Unix distributions I've ever had access to). To run the program, you simply type one of: ./fid ./fid ./fid *.dsk and then answer the questions (the leading ./ can be omitted if you have . in your PATH).

You don't need to knpow how to program in C to run someone else's C program.... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Grev Turegatan 40, SE-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at stockholm dot bostream dot se WWW: http://www.stjarnhimlen.se/ http://home.tiscali.se/pausch/ Paul Schlyter wrote: >>> I have the need to extract files from a .DSK image to Linux fs, but I don't >>> find around a tool for this.

The way I get Apple II files onto Linux is via a Samba server on my Red Hat box, so I can get files "to Linux fs" without needing to run software under Linux. Besides, there's nothing especially radical about the way CP was written, so it should work fine in a Windows emulator like WINE. The CiderPress point and click interface is more convenient for most people than a CLI, especially when you want to convert a large set of files from multiple disks. (Open the disk, click in the header to sort by file type, shift-click to select the file range, and use the "extract" feature to extract and convert all files.) A2Fid is limited to DOS 3.3 disks, although since the original poster mentioned Integer BASIC there's a fair chance it's what he wanted. Besides, A2FID.C is already mentioned in the CiderPress credits. :-) (If you ever find yourself running Windows, go to Help-->About, then Credits). -- 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/
