____ALASPEC.PRG_________________________________________1st December 1990
Format and copy of ALADIN and SPECTRE discs by M. SARO
This program has been placed in the Public Domain with the hope that you
will find it useful, but he cannot offer any guarantee as to its reliability
(use it at your own risk). The program was developed using SOZOBON C running
under GULAM. It does not carry a version number, only a production date.
The author uses ALADIN version 3.xx for outputting documents on the SLM804
laser printer at 300 dpi, and its internal RAM disc which is conserved under
GEM. SPECTRE version 2.65C is used for its ease of reading MAC (GCR) discs.
This program provides a useful link between these two emulators, but runs
without them.
__Use:
*** You must know which type of disc is to be copied or formatted ***
Start the proram under GEM.
Click on the parameters to be changed in the central frame.
(Note that HFS-MFS is only used during formatting)
Choose the operation to be performed in the bottom frame.
__Changing language: (French-English)
While running: click on 'information' in the upper frame, then chose the
required language from the following window.
By default: the byte at offset $1F of the program can be patched to give
the required language: even value = French, odd value =
English.
Running requirements:
ALASPEC needs 250K to run and will one or two drives.
When copying, if there is sufficient RAM available to contain a complete
image of the source disc, then the program will offer the possibility of
making multiple copies of the same disc.
No verification is made as to the type or the contents of the disc being
copied/converted, nor is the destination checked for consistancy.
The author would like to thank his friends: Yves LAGARDE for his comments
after testing, and Paul DAGLEISH (that's me) for his suggestions and the
English translations (my pleasure).
