- What does APCNames ?
-
- APCNames is a useful utility for people who use PC disks to
- interchange files between Amiga (with CrossDOS) and Macintosh
- (with AccessPC®).
-
- It implements a slightly modified (debugged ?) version of the
- file mapping algorithm used by AccessPC to map the long Mac file
- names to short MS-DOS file names. By that means APCNames lets you
- reconstruct the original file names on the Amiga.
-
- As APCNames is written in ANSI-C, it might be useful also for
- UN*X users. The source is included in the archive.
-
-
- What's new in this version ?
-
- v1.1: As I got bored of the "hardwired" type & creator mapping of
- the former versions, I decided to make it configurable. This version
- of APCNames allows you to specify for which extension which type
- & creator information is created. See the documentation for more
- details.
-
- v1.2: In former versions APCNames did nonsense when encoding more
- than 2 files with the same 8 starting characters and same extension.
- In some cases it even crashed. The encoding of file names was
- complete rewritten and should work for up to 38 files with the same
- 8 starting characters and same extension.
-
- v1.2a: For you Unix users out there this archive includes the sources
- of a version of APCNames running on Unix, which should compile with
- GCC properly. I use this version on SunOS. Look into the docs for
- additional options.
