 Re: Plus4emu disk read question

I have a mostly working beta version now for testing, which can be downloaded from here: http://www.sharemation.com/IstvanV/p4e126b1.7z
To install it, you need an already existing installation of version 1.2.5.2 (available at SourceForge); the .7z file should be unpacked to the installation directory, overwriting any older files.

The IEC level drive emulation in this version allows access to the PC filesystem directory that can be selected with "Options/Set working directory", and is enabled when the drive type for unit 8 or 9 is set to 1551, but no D64 file is selected (you may need to use "Options/Floppy/Disable unused drives" if a disk image was previously used and the true drive emulation is still active).
Note that the filesystem access is read only by default, but this can be changed in the "Machine/Configure..." menu.
Currently implemented features include reading and writing PRG, SEQ, USR, and REL type files (the latter one is quite possibly buggy, though), listing the directory, getting the error message (DS$), and the following commands: C (also merge), I, N (scratches all files, and sets the disk label and ID), P, R, S, and V.

The FLTK file dialogs have been replaced with native Windows dialogs.

A few utilities are also included:
compress.exe - compresses .prg files
p4fliconv*.exe - image converter (supports several video modes and output formats)
p4sconv.exe - converts PixelShop .p4s format files to the output formats of p4fliconv
tapconv.exe - converts .tap files to plus4emu format tape files
