What's the name of the program?
Which OS is on it? DOS 3.3 or ProDOS or proprietary?
Feel free to send it to me,


    As far as I know, the program I'm looking for does NOT exist.  I
hope I'm wrong.

    I suggest that anyone wishing to add to this thread that they
first go back and read the messages written about this subject back in
August of 2002.


Willi, Antoine was asking what the name of the *disk* was, not the
name of a (nonexistent) program to convert .nib's to disks.

Is there some reason that you want to preserve the non-standard format?
It would probably be fairly easy to modify the disks DOS (which Antoine
was asking about) to accept standard formatting, resulting in an easily
archivable and copyable disk.

If the .nib is usable, then such a deprotection should be doable.  If it
is not, then it is almost certain that the .nib does not contain enough
info to create a usable disk.

It is also not too difficult to create a disk with non-standard format,
though the motivation for doing so is hard to fathom.  ;-)
