CiderPress II v0.3 is now available. Most of the effort was focused
on disk images and filesystems. A five-minute demo of the GUI is
available at
https://youtu.be/5tE07owhcCc .
Summary of changes:
- Added commands: create disk image, create file archive.
- Added actions: test files, scan disk, save as disk, replace
partition with disk image,
import, export, defragment.
- Added disk image formats: Trackstar, DiskCopy 4.2.
- Added multi-partition disk formats: MicroDrive, FocusDrive.
- Added filesystems: CP/M, Pascal, Gutenberg (read-only), MFS
(read-only), RDOS (read-only).
- Added file archive format: MacBinary (read-only).
- Added access to removable media (with Admin privilege escalation).
- Added import/export conversion options editor.
- Added metadata editing.
- Updated sector editor.
- Various GUI improvements.
Documentation for the new items has been added to
https://ciderpress2.com/doc-index.html .
Most of these were handled in the original CiderPress, but the new
implementations are generally superior. DiskCopy is no longer limited to 800KB
disks, Trackstar metadata can be edited, CP/M is read-write, RDOS disk
recognition is better, etc.
The multi-disk catalog output should be fairly complete at this
point. For a subset of the Asimov repository it generated 97MB of output
with --depth=max. The listing can be downloaded from
