Good stuff, Bill! Thanks for taking the time to clean everything up so
the next person wanting to dabble with this stuff will (hopefully)have
a much less frustrating time.
BTW I'm tidying up a few loose ends prior to packaging the latest
versions of peekbot + ripxplore into a gem - how would you feel about
beta testing that for me?
Also - at the moment the only Apple CP/M file type I have a convertor
for is unencrypted MBASIC/GBASIC files (e.g.
http://peekbot.jamtronix.com/dispatch.fcgi/native_file/http%3A%2F%2Fmirrors.apple2.org.za%2Fftp.apple.asimov.net%2Fimages%2Fcpm%2FCPM1.PO/2?display_mode=to_listing
) - if there are other files you think are worth extracting, and you
know the algorithms, then depending on your interest, it's pretty easy
to code up convertors for various file types hosted on dsks, so either
I could give you some pointers on how it's done, or else you could
send me some samples of files and explanation of the file structures
and I could add them in.
Cheers
Jonno
