It comes with free C source (one single C file) and does what you
want to do. Files can be extracted in binary or ASCII form -- the
latter includes a detokenization of Basic (A & I) files.

I haven't run it on Linux yet, but it compiles and runs fine on
Free-BSD, HP-UX and AIX, so I would expect no problems on Linux.

Mac OS X is BSD Unix. It does have a command line. I've run programs
that way. If I had a clue as to how to compile your program, I'd
probably give it a shot. But my programming knowledge is pretty much
limited to Applesoft BASIC.

This is getting amusing..... almost....

He wanted to do it on Linux. So why are you pointing at software not
running on Linux, while you keep silent of a piece of software which
actually does the job on Linux: the freeware FID utility from my
Apple II page:

People who have written a piece of software tend to believe that theirs
is the most useful.

The way I get Apple II files onto Linux is via a Samba server on my Red
Hat box, so I can get files "to Linux fs" without needing to run software
under Linux. Besides, there's nothing especially radical about the way
CP was written, so it should work fine in a Windows emulator like WINE.

The CiderPress point and click interface is more convenient for most
people than a CLI, especially when you want to convert a large set of
files from multiple disks. (Open the disk, click in the header to sort
by file type, shift-click to select the file range, and use the "extract" feature to extract and convert all files.) A2Fid is limited to DOS 3.3
disks, although since the original poster mentioned Integer BASIC there's
a fair chance it's what he wanted.

Besides, A2FID.C is already mentioned in the CiderPress credits. :-) (If
you ever find yourself running Windows, go to Help-->About, then Credits).

Mac OS X is BSD Unix. It does have a command line. I've run programs
that way. If I had a clue as to how to compile your program, I'd
probably give it a shot.

To compile it, you simply type one of (assuming fid.c is in your
current directory):

cc fid.c -o fid

or

gcc fid.c -o fid

depending on the name of your C compiler (a C compiler is included in
all Unix distributions I've ever had access to).

To run the program, you simply type one of:

./fid

./fid <name_of_dsk_image>

./fid *.dsk

and then answer the questions (the leading ./ can be omitted if
you have . in your PATH).

If you give it a try, I'd like to know how it all went.

But my programming knowledge is pretty much limited to Applesoft BASIC.

You don't need to knpow how to program in C to run someone else's
C program....

You may want to give MDC (Multi-Disk Catalog, part of CiderPress) a try.
It'll generate listings for all disk images in a directory hierarchy
(DOS, ProDOS, CP/M, Pascal, RDOS), and automatically unpacks .gz files.
I wrote it for a similar reason: finding stuff on hundreds of floppy and
hard drive images can be a pain. Letting it run through a local copy of
an FTP archive is kind of fun.

Unlike the main CP app, MDC doesn't require registration (it's one of those "free bonus just for trying" things, so it doesn't expire).

It's not automatically installed on Mac OS X, at least not on my
computer it wasn't. I had to go find the package and look for the
developer CD. You can also go to developer.apple.com and download
a disk image of the developer tools. It's a big download though...

Went well. I did have to compile (gcc) fidunix.c from your zip archive.
It compiled with no errors, I put it in the /usr/bin/ folder, made it executable, navigated to a DOS 3.3 .dsk image file and got this:

So, it works under Mac OS X. The compiled app is 34,420 bytes.

Yep, that's the normal procedure for free Unix applications: you get

Otherwise, happy to help and to let you know that it does work on a
