D64tools

A Ruby gem with tools for working with D64 images (dumps of Commodore 1541 floppy disks.)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'd64tools', github: 'lhz/d64tools'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install d64tools

Usage

There are several tools installed with this gem:

d64reserve <d64-image>

This tool will reserve track 35 in the BAM of the given d64 image, to avoid other tools adding files to the image using that track.

d64unreserve <d64-image>

This tool will free up track 35 in the BAM of the given d64 image, so that other tools may utilize that track again.

d64hide <d64-source-image> <d64-dirart-image> <d64-target-image>

This tool will move the directory from track 18 on the source image over to track 35, copy the directory from track 18 on the dirart image on to track 18 and store the result in the target image.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
