What is CPCFS?
CPCFS is a program to maintain filesystems that are needed by some
CPC emulators (especially CPCEmu by Marco Vieth).
If you are familiar with some emulators, you may have already
encountered the problem, how to copy files form DOS into the
image of an emulator, or vice versa.
The methods described in the documentation of CPCEmu only deal
with transferring whole CPC disks to CPCEmu diskimages, but not
single files.
If you use CPCEmu you can use the cassette interface to load and save
files from the CPC memory to DOS files. But this method lacks
some (in my sense important) features, e.g.
- transferring files > 42k
- transferring data files without Amsdos-Header
- installing CP/M, if you don't have a 5 1/4 inch drive at your
CPC and can't copy whole disks.
- transferring is so slow as the emulator
- you can't transfer files in a batch
If you don't use another emulator than CPCEmu, I do not know
another solution other than CPCFS.
What other products do I need?
- A CPC-Emulator (CPCEmu, CPE, SimCPC, CPCEmuII, ...)
- A CPC Computer with CP/M License, if you want to copy CP/M
to an image.
How do I install CPCFS?
Just unpack the archive with the -d switch to extract the
subdirectory src. If you omit the -d switch, you get all files
in one directory. Then copy the *.EXE files, CPCFS.CFG and
CPCFS.HLP to a place where they can be found (somewhere in the
path) or where you like them to be. CPCFS.CFG must be in the
current directory or in the same directory as CPCFS.EXE.
What is new in version 0.85?
Main features:
- Vortex images are now supported
- User areas and file attributes are fully supported
- Extensible help system containing nearly the same as the manual
- Commands can be controlled by options
- History mechanism
New comamnds:
- COPY copy files
- TYPE look at files
- DPB see the complete Disk Parameter Block
- COMMENT describes your images
- ATTRIB change file attributes
Extended commands:
- DIR shows long output, including Amsdos header
- DUMP now addresses single sectors or blocks
- HELP accesses the online manual
