- What is CPCfs?
-
- CPCfs is a program to maintain filesystems that are needed by some
- CPC emulators (especially CPCEmu by Marco Vieth).
-
- If you are familiar with some emulators, you may have already
- encountered the problem, how to copy files form DOS into the
- image of an emulator, or vice versa.
-
- The methods described in the documentation of CPCEmu only deal
- with transferring whole CPC disks to CPCEmu diskimages, but not
- single files.
-
- If you use CPCEmu you can use the cassette interface to load and save
- files from the CPC memory to DOS files. But this method lacks
- some (in my sense important) features, e.g.
- - transferring files > 42k
- - transferring data files without Amsdos-Header
- - installing CP/M, if you don't have a 5 1/4 inch drive at your
- CPC and can't copy whole disks.
- - transferring is so slow as the emulator
- - you can't transfer files in a batch
-
- If you don't use another emulator than CPCEmu, I do not know
- another solution other than CPCfs.
-
-
- What other products do I need?
-
- - A CPC-Emulator (CPCEmu, CPE, SimCPC, CPCEmuII, ...)
- - A CPC Computer with CP/M License, if you want to copy CP/M
- to an image.
-
-
- How do I install CPCfs?
-
- Just unpack the archive with the -d switch to extract the
- subdirectory src. If you omit the -d switch, you get all files
- in one directory. Then copy the *.EXE files, CPCFS.CFG and
- CPCFS.HLP to a place where they can be found (somewhere in the
- path) or where you like them to be. CPCFS.CFG must be in the
- current directory or in the same directory as CPCFS.EXE.
-
-
- What is new in version 0.85?
