Utility Functions

The transformenator project includes several supporting utilities. Each is invokable with a Java command like this:

java -cp transformenator.jar org.transformenator.util.DOSImage

There are supporting batch file/shell scripts, transformutil.bat/.sh, that simplify the invocation of all of these utilities. So the same utility can also be invoked like this:

transformutil DOSImage

CreateLwpMacro

Creates a Lotus Word Pro macro (lotus2word.lss) to feed to that word processor to transform all files in a filesystem to Word .doc format.

CreateLwpMacro in_directory out_directory

DOSImage

View or update the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB) to older DOS disk images to make them mountable - fixes those pesky "no mountable filesystems" errors, also removes the Stoned and Michelangelo viruses from boot blocks.

DOSImage display infile

(or)

DOSImage update infile outfile [force160|180|320|360|360a|1200]

RevealValdocsEntries

"Un-hide" the CP/M directory entries of files that have a leading byte of 0x60 in a disk image - typical of Valdocs files on Epson QX-10 TPM-II disk images.
