Whdload Disk2File ?

[coze]

Today I was making an install for Xenomorph and whdload asked for an image dumping utility called disk2file. Searching aminet, I was horrified to see that it was not there. The install itself is made in 1998 so probably it evaporated. There is a utility called diskfile in aminet which doesn't work in its place:( any ideas ?

Ok, I managed to get it working by fiddling with disk2file parameters in the install script. If somebody needs to use this install in the future, you need diskfile (http://aminet.net/dev/e/DiskFile.lha) from aminet, and change the respective part in the install script to this :

(message ("\nPlease insert Xenomorph disk 1 into DF0:"))

(if
(= 0 (run ("disk2file df0: T:X1 keeperrors")))
("")
(abort "\"disk2file\" must be in your PATH !")
)

(message ("\nPlease insert Xenomorph disk 2 into DF0:"))

(if
(= 0 (run ("disk2file df0: T:X2 keeperrors")))
("")
(abort "\"disk2file\" must be in your PATH !")
)

oh, and rename diskfile to disk2file and put it in your path (or modify the script accordingly)

Disk2File is from the JST package not from that program on Aminet. Bored Seal used to do JST installs so probably thought everyone had it.
