People who have written a piece of software tend to believe that theirs
is the most useful.

The way I get Apple II files onto Linux is via a Samba server on my Red
Hat box, so I can get files "to Linux fs" without needing to run software
under Linux.  Besides, there's nothing especially radical about the way
CP was written, so it should work fine in a Windows emulator like WINE.

The CiderPress point and click interface is more convenient for most
people than a CLI, especially when you want to convert a large set of
files from multiple disks.  (Open the disk, click in the header to sort
by file type, shift-click to select the file range, and use the "extract"
feature to extract and convert all files.)  A2Fid is limited to DOS 3.3
disks, although since the original poster mentioned Integer BASIC there's
a fair chance it's what he wanted.

Besides, A2FID.C is already mentioned in the CiderPress credits. :-)  (If
you ever find yourself running Windows, go to Help-->About, then Credits).
