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
