What you describe is what the "C" code does that I found.

It is possible that my memory is faulty after 30+ years and I saved an old version. Sorry. ;(

My printed copies of what is on what disk is in an unmarked box in an unknown pile in a unknown room with who knows what boxes on top.

The utilities to find files and extract files both are not working with my 80T2S ".dsk"s. "CoCoDskUtil" and "EmuDisk", both!

Five months without running hot water and counting. Finally my kitchen is starting to look better but empty. Never let your water heater leak!
