• Re: C64/1541 copy: have disk, need file!

    From Grant Weasner@3:770/100 to Robert Wolfe on Sun Aug 6 19:41:50 2017
    This only works for PRG type files, and not SEQ, REL and USR type files.

    PRG = Programs.
    REL = RELative (aka random access) data files -- often used for
    databases. SEQ = SEQuential files. Often PETSCII based text files used for configuration data, etc.
    USR = USeR type files. USe varies depending on application.
    However, to copy files between disks, I would use a file copy program
    that is usually available on one of the test/demo disks that come with
    the 1541, 1571 and 1581 drives.

    Thank you Robert.

    I've been having some fun with c64 disks.
    I think I will figure out how to unhide some files that I can't see. I have
    an Infocom game called Spellbreaker and the prg file is 3 blks or 3
    something. I know it has to be larger than that because if I copy just the
    prg flle to another disk. It doesn't run.

    Its a stretch for me basically using DOS from the start. Yeah I had a c64 but the things I did was play games or write really small programs then save them to disk.
