New tool for DragonDOS disk images!

[robcfg]

Hello, wonderful people!

I found myself needing a way to create a small tool for adding files to VDK images, so I decided to take my almost finished DragonDOS file system code, and some code and concepts from other tools I've created and made this nice new tool:

https://github.com/robcfg/retrotools/tr ... /dragondos

I have to say that I'm having way too much fun checking disks for graphics, and looking at the basic listing without having to extract the file is definitely on the plus side

Note that when extracting a Basic file, it will be converted to ascii for easy editing and will be retokenized when adding it back to the disk image.

As usual, it works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

If you find an error (probable) or would like to request a new feature (even more probable ) just drop me a line.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Robert,
I have downloaded the zip file from GitHub, but I cannot find there any binary (already compiled)
I must admit that I have not devoted too much time ... Is there an easy way to have a win64 binary?
thx!

Pere, sure enough!

You can find pre-compiled executables in the releases section: https://github.com/robcfg/retrotools/re ... dos-v1.0.0

Please tell me if these doesn't work for any reason.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi, Robert
just downloaded the zip and have tested the ui opening one of the AGD converted games.
The very first time AGD antivirus has verified it and found that it was trying to access a file in my D dive (?)
It has not allowed the access but has let the program start. I have 'seen' a Basic file and the images, it is very good!
thx a lot
cheers!

Great stuff, Rob! Works like a charm

Thanks Rolf!

My sector allocation is not as sophisticated as yours, but works well enough

I also managed to update your DragonTools CS project to a newer version and compile it on .NET 7.0 on MacOS.

Cheers,
Rob

Thank you Rob. I was waiting for such a tool. Works fine for me with Windows. Gérard.
