[Coco] [Color Computer] Problem with files .arc an tc3.bin

[Benoit Bleau]

Pierre,  Tu peut utiliser l'utilitaire "imgtool" qui vient avec Mess 
(www.mess.org)  pour créer une image de  floppy que Mess peut utiliser.
La page web de Nitros9 spécifie que tc3.bin (RS-DOS) , AR et LHA (OS9) 
sont des programmes coco .  Pour les utiliser sur un vrai coco, il te 
faut trouver le moyen de les transférer.  Je vois 2 possibilités:
    1- utiliser un programme de terminal et transférer les programmes 
par RS232 entre le coco et un PC, ou encore
    2- crée une image de floppy  avec imgtool, puis utilise DSKINI pour 
créer un vrai floppy.
         http://www.nitros9.org/dsk.html donne les instructions pour le 
faire.

Note que tu doit être en MS-DOS (un floppy rescue de Win98 fait 
l'affaire)  pour utiliser DSKINI.

For the non-French speaking audience :)
Pierre, you can use the imgtool from Mess to create a floppy image to 
use with Mess. The Nitros9 web page says that tc3.bin (RS-DOS) , AR and 
LHA (OS9) are coco programs.  If you want to use them on a real coco, 
you need to find a way to transfer them. I see 2 ways of doing that:
    1. use a terminal program and transfer through RS-232 between a coco 
and a PC, or
    2. create a floppy image with imgtool, then use DSKINI to create a 
real floppy.
        This page http://www.nitros9.org/dsk.html gives the instructions 
to do this.
Note: You need to be in MS-DOS (a win98 rescue disk should do) in order 
to use DSKINI.
