## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Introduced in 1980, the SOS operating system for the Apple /// used a
|
|
|
|
|
hierarchical file system, a significant improvement over the flat
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems used on the Apple II (by Apple DOS, Apple Pascal, and
|
|
|
|
|
CP/M).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1983, Apple introduced the ProDOS operating system for the Apple II
|
|
|
|
|
family, intended to replace Apple DOS. ProDOS used the same filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
as SOS.

|
|
|
sosar (pronounced like "saucer") is intended to provide a command line
|
|
|
|
|
interface to manipulate SOS and ProDOS disk image files. As of this
|
|
|
|
|
writing, sosar is only capable of printing the directory of such a
|
|
|
|
|
disk image file.
