I gave it a go under Wine. Installs ok, but running the exe just gives "Run-time error '0'". The screenshots make it look pretty useful though.

Edit: hexedit.exe runs ok, but I already have native hex editors :)

Hi Luis!

I tried to run your program and I get the same error as sixxie ("Runtime Error 0").

I think is a missing VisualBasic component that we don't have installed in our computers. Which version of Visual Basic did you use for creating your program? I'll try to download the runtime environment of the same version and see if it works then.

Un saludo!

Running under real Windows gives a somewhat more meaningful error message. Looks like the control "vbalSGrid6.ocx" is used but not installed with the application.

If you need code for reading OS-9 disks, I have something that I can share. I also have code supporting both reading and writing of DragonDos disks.

Regards,

I've done so many tests that I couldn't say now which is the path to success, but try the following:

- Install the CocoDskUtil_V1 application.
- Install the NEW CocoDskUtil application without uninstalling the previous one. (I installed them in different directories. It seems that the older app registers the components and then the new one can be run).

Hope this helps!
