22/08/1998 - Release v0.1b (The first one)

Directory Tool 64 v0.1b

Written by Vitor Manuel Branco Martins-Augusto
(C)1998

This software is freeware and may be distributed for free as long as this text is included.
It was written using Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 and needs the usual vbrun runtime libararies, which you should have already in your Windows directory.

What's it about?

*.d64 images are files containing the raw data of a complete 1541/1570 floppy disk drived as used by Commodore 64 computers.

This software is useless if you never had a Commodore 64 with floppy drive or you don't use Commodore 64 emulators.

This tool allows you to list the directories of *.d64 images and extract all the files you need.
You would want to extract files from *.d64 images for several reasons:

- to convert your data (text, etc.)
- to use the files with emulators that don't emulate 1541 drives and only load files directly
- to have the files for your own Commodore 64 emulator project
- to analyse, decompile, modify the files
- to import C64 files into diskimages of other emulated computers (like importing a Commodore 64 assembly program into an Apple II emulator)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's next?

In future releases I want to implement importing files into *.d64 images. This is usefull to organize all your existing *.d64 images in order to remove duplicate files and use the ful 170KB instead of having on file per image.
