cbmconvert: create, extract and convert 8-bit Commodore binary archives

cbmconvert extracts files from most known archive file formats that are used on 8-bit Commodore computer platforms and writes them to several different formats, including some formats used by some emulators.

Examples

To convert Lynx archive files (*.lnx) into 1541 disk image(s):

cbmconvert -D4 image.d64 -l *.lnx

To extract the individual files of a number of 1541 disk images, you could execute the following commands in the Bourne Again shell:

for i in *.d64
do
  mkdir "${i%.d64}"
  cd "${i%.d64}"
  cbmconvert -d ../"$i"
  cd ..
done

Motivation

There are many archiving programs for the Commodore 64 and other 8-bit Commodore computers, most of which are incompatible with archiving programs on other systems.

It is faster and more convenient to convert files with native code running on a 32-bit or 64-bit processor than by 8-bit 6502 code running in an old computer or an emulator.

Requirements

  • CMake 3.0.2 or later
  • At least 32-bit C compiler, compliant to to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (C90) or later
  • A POSIX-like operating system (including Microsoft Windows)

Installation

You can build, test, and install the code as follows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
ctest
cmake --install .

For more information, see cbmconvert.html and the manual pages:

man cbmconvert
man zip2disk
man disk2zip

    no RUNTIME DESTINATION for executable target "cbmconvert"

    The step with cmake .. lead to the following error for me:

    $ cmake ..

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:57 (INSTALL):

    I fixed this by adding the RUNTIME DESTINATION this was:

    diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
