c1541 - a stand alone disk image maintenance program

c1541 [options] [image]

c1541 is a stand alone program that can be used for D64, D71, D81, X64 and G64 disk image file maintenance. It is part of the VICE emulator.

c1541 can be used both in interactive and batch mode. It will start in interactive mode if no images and no options are specified or if one image is specified; when started in interactive mode, command line editing and command history are available.

Each command line option for use in batch mode has an interactive mode counterpart, that is shown in parenthesis.

-delete image files... (delete files...)

-validate image (validate)

-copy image oldname1 [oldname2...] newname (copy oldname1 [oldname2...] newname)

-create image dump ['descr'] (create image dump ['descr']

build image from raw dump file dump (i.e. convert from D64 to X64 file).

-tape image tapeimage [files...] (tape image tapeimage [files...])

transfer files from tapeimage to image (default is all files).

-read image 1541name [fsname] (read 1541name [fsname])
