Small command-line utilities for manipulating Acorn 8-bit filing systems ADFS and DFS

Acorn Filing System Utilities

Introduction

This is a set of utilities to work with the Acorn filing systems DFS and the 8-bit version of ADFS. The programs can work with simple disc image files that contain these filing systems and, on Linux where devices are accessible as files, on actual devices.

The utilities auto-detect between ADFS and DFS and are also able to work with disc image files from IDE emulations that have zero bytes between the real data bytes - this is also detected automatically.

Usage Summary

This is modelled after similar programs like cpmtools and dosfstools so files on the host (PC) are referred to by a simple name and files inside an Acorn filing system image are referred to with a name like:

img-file:acorn-filename

i.e. the name before the colon is the name of a disk image file or device and the name after the colon is the name of a file within that disk image.

afsls <img-file[:pattern]> [...]

afschk <img-file>

afscp [ -r ] <src> [ <src> ... ] <dest>

afsmkdir <directory> [ <directory> ... ]

afstitle <img-file> <title>

acunzip <zip-file> <...>

scsi2ide <scsi-file> <ide-file>

ide2scsi <ide-file> <scsi-file>
