C= SEQ Files to DOS .TXT [message #359957] Mon, 01 January 2018 22:32 Go to next message

I have used the MSDOS <-> 64 (MSDOS64) Program by M. Garamszeghy
when I wanted to be able to put a SEQ file I made on the
Commodore 64 PC into a ASCII .TXT file I could use on a computer
that has a Windows OS on it.

I use a 3-1/2" 2S/2D disk formatted for MS-DOS 720 KB and a
C= 1581 Drive to put the .TXT file(s) on the disk.

I've found it fine to occasionally convert a C= SEQ file to a
..TXT file but it only allows "One File" to be Transformed at a
time. It doesn't have a "Bulk" selection feature.

MSDOS64 takes a long time to Read and Write one file and it
would be a real long time if I tried using it for over 75 files.

I thought if I used WINVICE 3.1 it would be able to help Me do
what I want to do but I can't see anywhere in the Manual about
it being able to read a SEQ file.

The Manual talks about Reading disks converted to D64, D71, D81.

If I converted the 1581 disk with the SEQ files to a D81 disk
would I be able to use WINVICE's x64.exe program to Read those
SEQ files and Save them to the Windows XP computer I use?

I have read about D64 but never was interested in doing that to
any of my 1541 disks (or D81 to my 1581 disks).

Is there another Commodore 64 Program I could use?
(I guess I ought to look at Zimmers after writing this) ;-)

Thanks for reading (and Helping).

Did you consider editing the MSDOS64 BASIC code, thus extending its functionality to include the desired bulk selection feature?

Thanks for the Reply.

I have often thought about EDiting the Basic Code portion, but never
looked into doing it.

When the Program is Ran it loads a ML file from disk.
I haven't dug in to looking at what that ML portion does.

I thought asking here first before trying to EDit the PRG to see if
anyone knew of another program that would be easier on Me.

I did look around Bo Zimmers pages today and grabbed a few files
that I found interesting, but haven't put them over on the C= machine
yet. ROUNDTUITS.......................
