[Coco] Converting OS9 disk to DSK

[Robert Gault]

There certainly will be some damage to it. Can the software be 
retrieved, maybe.

Get into OS-9 and use dEd to examine the tsword disk. See if any of the 
original file structure is left undamaged. If you can find the programs, 
you may be able to reconstruct the directories.

I hate to ask, but don't you have at least one backup of the tsword disk?

I did a Google search of the internet and checked the usual sites like 
RTSI but could not find any that had tsword for download. However, there 
ought to be at least one member of our newsgroup who owns tsword and 
would be willing to send you a replacement .dsk image. Since you did pay 
for it, there is nothing wrong will someone giving you a replacement.
