ATRCopy
=======
Support Atari 8-bit emulator disk images in pyfilesystem
Utilities to list files on and extract files from Atari 8-bit emulator disk
images. Eventually, I hope to add support for these images to pyfilesystem.

Example on Mac OS X
-------------------
OS X supplies python with the operating system so you shouldn't need to install
a framework version from python.org.
To prevent overwriting important system files, it's best to create a working
folder: a new empty folder somewhere and do all your testing in that folder.
For this example, create a folder called `atrtest` in your Documents folder. Put a few `.ATR` images in this directory as well
Download or copy the file atrcopy.py and put the Documents/atrtest folder.
folder.
Since this is a command line programe, you must start a Terminal by double
clicking on Terminal.app in the Applications/Utilities folder in the Finder.
When Terminal opens, it will put you in your home folder. Go do the atrtest
folder by typing::
cd Documents/atrtest
You should see the file `atrcopy.py` as well as the other ATR images you placed
in this directory by using the command::
ls -l *
For example, you might see::
mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 rob staff 92176 May 18 21:57 GAMES1.ATR
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rob staff 8154 May 18 22:36 atrcopy.py*
Now, run the program by typing `python atrcopy.py YOURFILE.ATR` and you should
see the contents of the ATR image in the familiar Atari DOS format::
mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ python atrcopy.py GAMES1.ATR
GAMES1.ATR
File #0 : *DOS SYS 039
File #1 : *MINER2 138
File #2 : *DEFENDER 132
File #3 : *CENTIPEDE 045
File #4 : *GALAXIAN 066
File #5 : *AUTORUN SYS 005
File #6 : *DIGDUG 133
File #7 : *ANTEATER 066
File #8 : *ASTEROIDS 066
Without any additional arguments, it will not extract files. To actually
pull the files out of the ATR image, you need to specify the -x command line
argument::
mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ python atrcopy.py -x GAMES1.ATR
GAMES1.ATR
File #0 : *DOS SYS 039 : copying to DOS.SYS
File #1 : *MINER2 138 : copying to MINER2
File #2 : *DEFENDER 132 : copying to DEFENDER
File #3 : *CENTIPEDE 045 : copying to CENTIPED.E
File #4 : *GALAXIAN 066 : copying to GALAXIAN
File #5 : *AUTORUN SYS 005 : copying to AUTORUN.SYS
File #6 : *DIGDUG 133 : copying to DIGDUG
File #7 : *ANTEATER 066 : copying to ANTEATER
File #8 : *ASTEROIDS 066 : copying to ASTEROID.S
There are other flags, like the `-l` flag to covert to lower case, and the
`--xex` flag to add the `.XEX` extension to the filename, and `-n` to skip DOS
files. So a full example might be::
mac:~/Documents/atrtest $ python atrcopy.py -n -l -x --xex GAMES1.ATR
GAMES1.ATR
File #0 : *DOS SYS 039 : skipping system file dos.sys
File #1 : *MINER2 138 : copying to miner2.xex
File #2 : *DEFENDER 132 : copying to defender.xex
File #3 : *CENTIPEDE 045 : copying to centipede.xex
File #4 : *GALAXIAN 066 : copying to galaxian.xex
File #5 : *AUTORUN SYS 005 : skipping system file autorun.sys
File #6 : *DIGDUG 133 : copying to digdug.xex
File #7 : *ANTEATER 066 : copying to anteater.xex
File #8 : *ASTEROIDS 066 : copying to asteroids.xex
