UnixFiler 0.12 ============== J.G.Harston - jgh@arcade.demon.co.uk 70 Camm Street, Walkley, Sheffield, S6 3TR UnixFiler is a simple program for accessing Unix disk images to examine and extract files. It will run on BBC, Master, RISC OS and Windows. On running, you get a 0> prompt. You specify the drive to access by entering the drive number, or specify a disk image to access with the FILE command, which changes the prompt to display the image file name. At the prompt you can enter commands to examine the disk, examine files on the disk, and transfer files from the disk. To get a list of commands, enter ? or HELP. Command Summary =============== *command -------- This passes the command to the OS. d - Entering a single digit 0, 1, 2 or 3 will select the specified drive to access. The current directory is set to '/' on the disk. FILE ----------- Selects the specified file as a disk image file. All disk access is then sent to this file instead of a physical disk drive. The current directory is set to '/' on the disk image. CAT --- This displays a catalogue (listing) of the current Unix directory. LS or EX -------- This displays an extended catalogue (listing) of the current Unix directory. INFO ----------- This displays the file information on the specified file as well as the file's allocation vector. CD or DIR --------------------- This selects a new current directory. Only directories in the current directory can be selected, or '..' to go to the parent, or '/' to return to the root. TYPE [CTRLS], DUMP [7BIT] --------------------------------------- TYPE displays a file, and DUMP gives a hexadecimal file dump. If the [CTRLS] option is given to TYPE, then all control characters are passed unfiltered, otherwise only LF and CR are displayed. If the [7BIT] option is given to DUMP, then the characters in the dump are displayed in 7-bit format, with bit 7 ignored. EXPORT -------------------------------- This allows you to copy one or more files from the UNIX disk image to the host filing system. If is a file, that one file is copied to the file . If is a directory, the whole directory is recursively copied into the host directory . The file and directory creation and modification dates are set where possible. Executable Unix files are settyped to &FE6 (UnixEx), otherwise files are settyped to &FFF (Text). IMPORT ---------------------- This allows you to copy a single file into the UNIX disk image, overwriting an existing file. For example, IMPORT develop/pdp11/bbcbasic bbcbasic would overwrite the Unix file 'bbcbasic' with the file 'develop/pdp11/bbcbasic' from the currently selected filing system. HELP ---- This will list all the commands you can use. QUIT ---- This will terminate the program FREE ---- Displays the disk space free and used, and the total disk size. BLOCK ---------------- Dumps the contents of the logical disk block.
