This is getting amusing..... almost....
 
He wanted to do it on Linux.  So why are you pointing at software not
running on Linux, while you keep silent of a piece of software which
actually does the job on Linux: the freeware FID utility from my
Apple II page:
 
    http://home.tiscali.se/pausch/apple2/
 
It compiles and runs fine on several Unices -- personally I've tested
it on Free-BSD, HP-UX and AIX, but it should run fine on Linux as well.
Just compile the single C soruce file with gcc .....
 
And now you know why I wrote this as a CLI rather than a GUI application:
then it becomes _p_o_r_t_a_b_l_e_ to other OS'es ......  yes it runs
fine on 16-bit MS-DOS and 32-bit Windows as well.....  the only reason
it won't run on a Mac is because the Mac enforces a GUI on you, it has
no command line....
