Here are the files requested of me by many of you out there...
Included is everything necessary to take a MAC PAINT format
or MAC SCREEN format picture from an ALADIN/MAGIC SAC 1 or 2
sided disk or Spectre 1 sided disk and convert it to any
resolution on the atari. Only the transfer credit is mine.
Included are:
SPUFILE.TOS -JEKPACKED version of transfer program
SPUFILE.C -LASER/SOZOBON compatible source
PICSW.PRG -By someone else out there, see credits
SPUFILE was begun by me in early 88 and left hanging. I even
finished a GEM interface, but never put the two together. So
all you get is "INSERT SOURCE DISK IN DRIVE A:", a listing of
disk info, MagSac, Alad or Atari. The file can be read from
any of the above formats, but I never finished the write routines
to the MAC FORMAT disks, only to the ATARI, being that they
were easy, I'm a student, and I'm a 10 on the lazy scale.
If anyone really wants them done, I'll do it since it is un-
documented code. It is fairly straight forward though. (As
straight forward as an insane person like moi programs, anyway.)
Most of you could probably handle it. The structures are
self explanatory. One just has to sift through the MAC FATS
for free space and write the blocks.
Anyway, after pressing return comes a file listing by number
dumped to the screen. Choose a number, watch the drive whirr,
"INSERT DESTINATION DISK IN DRIVE A:" is fairly straight
forward. EXIT.

/(-)-' hi there!

Simple, but good for that occasional 'really want pic' or important
ascii text.
Have fun. And hey, no disclaimers here, if your disk is messed
up, then I'm a ding and I'll refund you for your effort.

P.S. My bike was stolen in June '88 ($700 Canondale) and today
I saw someone walking with it on the Quad. I had filed
a report with the police in '88 with serial number.
This guy bought it at a police auction. I got his
name & number. Any action I can take?
(Sorry, I'm pissed!)
