Documentation missing information on how to copy files from Apple 2 images #17

Open DavidGriffith opened 3 years ago

DavidGriffith commented 3 years ago

It's not at all clear how to simply read Apple 2 images or copy files from said images. It seems like starting diskm8, mounting an image, and typing cat would do something useful, but I get just this:

Disk has 2MG Magic
Block count 1600
mount disk in slot 0

dsk:0:stuff.2mg:> cat

dsk:0:stuff.2mg:>

Similarly, the copy command also does nothing:

dsk:0:stuff.2mg:> copy * /home/joe/apple2/d1

dsk:0:stuff.2mg:>

From within diskm8's command line, that's all I can do. From a bash command line, I can do just this:

diskm8 -dir * -disk stuff.2mg

This gives me a directory listing, but I cannot access or copy any of these files.

Working on fixes for this.
