• C= SEQ Files to DOS .TXT

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Tue Jan 2 15:32:00 2018
    I have used the MSDOS <-> 64 (MSDOS64) Program by M. Garamszeghy
    when I wanted to be able to put a SEQ file I made on the
    Commodore 64 PC into a ASCII .TXT file I could use on a computer
    that has a Windows OS on it.

    I use a 3-1/2" 2S/2D disk formatted for MS-DOS 720 KB and a
    C= 1581 Drive to put the .TXT file(s) on the disk.

    I've found it fine to occasionally convert a C= SEQ file to a
    .TXT file but it only allows "One File" to be Transformed at a
    time. It doesn't have a "Bulk" selection feature.

    MSDOS64 takes a long time to Read and Write one file and it
    would be a real long time if I tried using it for over 75 files.

    I thought if I used WINVICE 3.1 it would be able to help Me do
    what I want to do but I can't see anywhere in the Manual about
    it being able to read a SEQ file.

    The Manual talks about Reading disks converted to D64, D71, D81.

    If I converted the 1581 disk with the SEQ files to a D81 disk
    would I be able to use WINVICE's x64.exe program to Read those
    SEQ files and Save them to the Windows XP computer I use?

    I have read about D64 but never was interested in doing that to
    any of my 1541 disks (or D81 to my 1581 disks).

    Is there another Commodore 64 Program I could use?
    (I guess I ought to look at Zimmers after writing this) ;-)

    Thanks for reading (and Helping).

    Did you consider editing the MSDOS64 BASIC code, thus extending its functionality to include the desired bulk selection feature?
