[Coco] Atom IDE + toolshed

[pfitchjr at bellsouth.net]

I moved the Rogue floppy image to the C: drive and re-ran the batch file. The output was:
currentfolder Rogue
projectfolder C:\Rogue
REM make a dir on the host system to hold the extracted files from the floppy image
"C:\Program Files (x86)\toolshed-2.2\os9.exe" makdir Rogue
REM use dsave to copy all the files from the imagte to the prepared host file system
"C:\Program Files (x86)\toolshed-2.2\os9.exe" dsave -b=24k -r -e rogue128.dsk,. Rogue,
copy: error 215 on file ''rogue128.dsk,./OS9Boot'': badly formed pathname
makdir: error 214 creating 'Rogue,CMDS'
dsave: error 214 encountered during dsave
os9 copy 'rogue128.dsk,./OS9Boot' 'Rogue,OS9Boot' -r -b=245760
os9 makdir "Rogue,CMDS"
End

Actually, it works here both with and without the dots. Toolshed can deal with the leading slashes. However I think the issue is that you have a colon in the destination part "E:\Rogue,". Searching my mail box I see that this was discussed here 4 years ago, but no clear conclusion on how to fix it came out of it.

The problem is that the colon is used to designate an HDB-DOS sub-disk (floppy image), like IMAGE:23,FILE Now if an image file name is C, it would be C:23,FILE which could also mean a file "23" on the current directory of the C drive on a Windows computer. I guess there is no perfect solution, but I can suggest enforcing HDBDOS image names to be at least two characters long, and interpret one letter + colon as a Windows drive.

BTW, in your first post you wrote:
"os9.exe" dsave -b=24k -r rogue128.dsk, E:\Rogue, and that it produced:
os9 copy 'rogue128.dsk,/OS9Boot' 'Rogue,OS9Boot' -r -b=245760 thus without "E:\". Was that correct?

Can you please move the destination image file Rogue to the current drive and confirm that it works?

I think it would be most natural that dsave does not add the leading slash after the image file name and comma. I might have a fix for this.
