Another survey thread. There are a number of file formats for Apple II users: NuFile (ShrinkIt), Binscii, Blu, Executioner, .dsk, .po, .sdk, etc.... Do they cause you bother when you download files? That is, does it take you some time to convert the file into a different format for use with an emulator or for transferring to real hardware?
.sdk, .shk, .bxy and their ilk bother me no end. The quicker they are expunged from all repositories, the better, in my opinion (an opinion not shared by all, I realize). Hint: I am working on making them transparent to ADTPro - so you wouldn't need a conversion program to be an intermediary. And it's a huge pain - the NuFx "standard" was interpreted "interestingly" by lots of compressors.
If so, how do you manage? Do you have a program that is convenient for you?
CiderPress rules them all. AppleCommander is getting there.
