cbmshell

This Python module provides an interactive shell to read and write files to disk image files (.d64, .d71, .d80, .d81, .d82) and tape image files (.t64, .tap) used by various Commodore microcomputer emulators and tools.

It permits moving files between images and the local file system as well as other actions such as directory listing and file deletion.

It provides many common benefits of a traditional UNIX shell including filename completion, command history and output redirection.

Quickstart Guide

The shell is started by running the cbm-shell command, this presents the prompt

(cbm)

The list of available commands is shown by the help command

(cbm) help

Documented commands (use 'help -v' for verbose/'help <topic>' for details):
===========================================================================
alias   detach     from_petscii  lock   rename        shell       unlist
attach  directory  help          macro  renumber      shortcuts   unlock
cat     edit       history       merge  run_pyscript  text        untext
copy    file       images        mkdir  run_script    to_petscii
delete  format     list          quit   set           token_set

Detailed information for a command is shown using help <command>.

Images need to be attached to a drive number in order to be used.

(cbm) attach mydisk.d64
Attached mydisk.d64 to 0

Up to ten images can be attached at any one time.

Files in an image can be addressed by prefixing the drive number followed by a colon. For example, to list a BASIC program in the image

(cbm) list 0:PRINT
5 INPUT"UPPER OR LOWER";C$:SA=0:IFC$="L"THENSA=7
10 INPUT"FILENAME";F$
11 OPEN4,4,SA
15 OPEN2,8,2,F$+",S,R"
20 GET#2,A$:IFST<>0THENPRINT#4:CLOSE4:CLOSE2:END
21 IFA$="π"THENA$=","
30 PRINT#4,A$;:GOTO20
