Sun to Mac to //c and back
Folks,
I want to transfer some old textfiles from CP/M on 5.25"
disks to my Sun; so I first have to gather the programs for this
task from the net, as per FAQ:
(1) get CHAMELEON.SHK a progam that is said to be able to read
CP/M disks from ProDOS
(2) get an archiver which can read the CHAMELON.SHK file;
Fine; So I get the CHAMELON.SHK file, and find I need nulib,
for UNIX so I get nulib (from a Linux archive) [which btw is bundled
with a stdio.h (Wow!) and therefore cannot be compiled out of
the box -> THROW the stdio.h away! and it compiles fine...]
I compile nulib and find that my CHAMELON.SHK file contains the
things I want:
jazz(jh): ~/tmp/apple2> nulib v CHAMELEON.SHK
CHAMELEON.SHK Created:01-Jul-91 21:52 Mod:01-Jul-91 21:52 Recs: 2
Name Kind Typ Auxtyp Archived Fmat Size Un-Length
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAM.SYSTEM File SYS $2000 01-Jul-91 21:52 shk 83% 19516
CHAMELEON.DOC File TXT $0000 01-Jul-91 21:52 shk 54% 27341
(have an eye on the "Typ" section) so I extract the files:
jazz(jh): ~/tmp/apple2> nulib xv CHAMELEON.SHK
Extracting 'CHAM.SYSTEM' (data)...overwriting...unshrinking (I)...done.
Extracting 'CHAMELEON.DOC' (data)...overwriting...unshrinking (I)...done.
Then I start Fetch on my Mac and transfer the files to a ProDOS 720K
disk; great I think and move the disk over to the //c and voila
the disk is readable; but--the files have type $00 not SYS and TXT
as expected; ok I thought, let's bload the files and bsave them with the
appropriate type; but this doesn't seem to work; it's
always WRONG FILE TYPE (load, bload, run, exec, whatever);
So here's the question: How do I change the attribute of a ProDOS
file from $00 to SYS/TXT/whatever? and What's wrong in the above?

Have fun, -joke
