ProDOSifier 2.0
User Guide

ProDOSifier is an AppleScript program for Macintosh that will let you process files for ProDOS disks. All you do is drop some files on it, and ProDOSifier will ask you what you want to do.

With ProDOSifier, can can easily reset or change the file types and auxilary types of files. You may set the types of each file individually, or set the types of the files all at once to the same thing. Input for file types may be a mneumonic (such as BAS), a decimal integer (like 33), or a dollar sign followed by two hexadecimal digits (such as $FF). Input for auxilary types may be a decimal integer (like 1024) or a dollar sign followed by four hexadecimal digits (such as $1F5C). The types are filled in automatically for you if the file is already a ProDOS file or has a file extension.

The third option for setting the file types is to let the program set the types itself based on file extensions. ProDOSifier will look at the endings of each file's name and find the appropriate file and auxilary type and assign this to the file, all by itself.

You may create a CATALOG-like listing of the files, or, if you have already done so, you may combine several of them into one file for easier reading.


System Requirements
€        MacOS 7.1 or later
€        AppleScript (included with MacOS 7.5 and later)
€        At least 2MB RAM

Note: If you experience a problem with running ProDOSifier on MacOS 8 or later, try opening the program with the AppleScript Script Editor and recompiling it. You may have to increase the Script Editor's memory allotment (mine is set at 5.6MB) in order to do this.
