A word of warning: Do NOT run any of Glen Bredon's repair programs on the resulting ProDOS volume. They do their job well enough to want to "correct" the mismatch between physical size reported by the drive firmware and the shortened size in the volume header. Think about it for a minute. So many folks were bit that I also shipped a utility to correct the damage (provided you didn't copy of pile of data to the volume in ProDOS before running it!)Why not create a locked "file" that encompasses the CP/M disk space, so there won't be any size discrepancy?
I had thought of that, but ran out of tuits. We wanted to sell the CardZ180 design and software to Applied Engineering. When that fell through we all lost interest.
Do folks have any preference regarding the particular license I put my code under? I'm tempted to GPL it unless there are well-reasoned objections.I also think public domain is preferable, and agree with Paul's logic. These days, the problem isn't someone using it, it's *no one* using it!
Thanks for all the feedback. I'll echo Andy's sentiments about business being scared of the GPL. No names shall be mentioned, but I work for a sizeable, bluish organization and have seen this close-up and personal. That said, ProPartition is not something that any sane business would be interested in. So, GPL it is!
Steve p.s. - It will take me a bit of time to get this stuff organized.
