A *NIX port of the Dragon DOS Utils, a suite of utilities for MS-DOS designed to handle Dragon DOS floppy disks, originally written by Graham E. Kinns gekinns@iee.org in Apr 1997 and released under an unspecified open-source licence.
This version was ported to *NIX by Adrien Destugues <pulkomandy.tk> in November 2021; port-specific code is available in the file linux.c and is published under the WTFPL licence.
The original tool handled physical Dragon DOS floppy disks in a real floppy drive on MS-DOS computer systems; the port uses VDK disk images. If you have physical floppy disks you want to read, use an imaging tool like a KryoFlux to create a VDK.
make -f makefile.gcc
Clean with make -f makefile.gcc clean clean_exes
The tools are as follows, in alphabetical order:
Converts Dragon BASIC BAS files extracted using dcopy into plain text files.
USAGE: ./bas2txt.exe input_file.bas output_file.txt
Copies files out of a Dragon DOS VDK-format disk image onto your filesystem.
USAGE: ./dcopy.exe input_file.vdk [wildcard] [output_directory]
Lists the files in a Dragon DOS VDK-format disk image.
USAGE: ./ddir.exe input_file.vdk [wildcard]
