Use the given CP/M disk <I>format</I> instead of the default format.
|
|
<BR><BR>
|
|
For Apple II CP/M 80
|
|
users the disk image formats apple-do and apple-po are available. These
|
|
are DOS3.3 order and ProDOS order disk image formats respectively, and must always be specified
|
|
using the form <b>-f apple-do</b> or <b>-f apple-po</b>.

Write the contents of the file <I>bootblock</I> to the system tracks
|
|
instead of filling them with 0xe5. This option can be used up to four
|
|
times. The file contents (typically boot block, CCP, BDOS and BIOS)
|
|
are written to sequential sectors, padding with 0xe5 if needed.

This will likely only be of interest to programmers. In a Win32 system
|
|
the exit code can be trapped in a batch file as an "ERRORLEVEL" or as a
|

return value when run from another Win32 console program written in a
|
|
language like C.

<B>FILES - diskdefs - CP/M disk format definitions</B><BR><BR>
|
|
|
|
The diskdefs file is a plain ascii text file (in "unix" format, not Windows format)
|
|
that serves as a database of
|
|
disk and disk image format definitions. It can be reviewed for available CP/M
|
|
formats and their names. For Apple II CP/M 80 users the disk
|
|
image formats apple-do and apple-po are available.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
To convert between Windows text and "unix" text, two utilities (rmcr and cr) are
|
|
included in the Windows distro of the cpmtools binaries. These are included so you
|
|
can use a Windows text editor to edit a copy of diskdefs if your Windows text editor
|
|
does not edit "unix" text.
|
|
<BR><BR>
|
|
<b>The possible locations where cpmtools first looks for the diskdefs file:</b>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Can vary depending on the preferences of the person who builds the
|
|
cpmtools binaries (executables) from the source code.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<b>If it's not found the current (work) directory is then searched for a
|
|
file called diskdefs.</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The Windows distro uses <b>\cpmtools\diskdefs</b> as a default.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<b>On a unix-like system</b>, a <b>${prefix}/share/</b> style path
|
|
like <b>/usr/local/share/</b> is a possible place that cpmtools will first
|
|
look for diskdefs.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<b>In a Win32 system</b> sometimes unix-like shells like cygwin
|
|
are used to build and run cpmtools instead of Windows cmd. For those installations
|
|
unix-like conventions may apply.
