- For those of us that have been long confused by the various versions of Atari
- disk readers for PCs, here's what I discovered. It turns out there are several
- copies of the same thing at the archive.
-
- The various 8-bit Atari disk readers for PCs on the atari.archive:
-
- util.arc
- atario.asm
- READ.ME
- util.c
- util.exe
- util.txt
-
- pcxfer.arc
- atario.asm
- pcxfer2.txt
- pcxfer.txt
- READ.ME
- util.c
- util.exe
-
- ataridsk.arc
- atario.asm
- blurb.txt
- READ.ME
- util.c
- util.exe
- All of the above are the same UTIL by Charles Marslett.
- They are identical copies of util.exe, util.c, atario.asm and READ.ME
- Reads/Writes DD Atari disks.
-
- dskutil.arc
- ATARIO.ASM
- READ.ME
- UTIL.C
