**Note:** diskii is not stable yet! I don't expect to remove
functionality, but I'm still experimenting with the command syntax and
organization, so don't get too comfy with it yet.

diskii is a commandline tool for working with Apple II disk images.
2016-11-13 03:41:03 +00:00
It is also a library of code that can be used by other Go programs.
2016-11-14 03:35:38 +00:00
Its major advantage is that it's written in Go, hence
2016-11-14 03:58:20 +00:00
cross-platform.
2016-10-30 01:57:08 +00:00
Its major disadvantage is that it mostly doesn't exist yet.

It rhymes with “whiskey”.

### Goals
Eventually, it aims to be a comprehensive disk image manipulation
tool, but for now only the `applesoft decode` command works.
The library code aims (a) to support the commandline tool operations, and (b) to replace the "read and write disk images" code of the [goapple2 emulator ](https://github.com/zellyn/goapple2 ).

Current disk operations supported:
| Feature | DOS 3.3 | NakedOS/Super-Mon |
| ------------- | ------------------ | ------------------ |
| catalog | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark: |
