Interactive shell to manipulate Commodore files
Project description
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):
===========================================================================

attach directory history mkdir shell unlist
cat edit images quit shortcuts unlock
copy file list run_pyscript text untext
delete from_petscii lock run_script to_petscii
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
