ToddP Dot Com

I prayed to googlegod in attempt to learn about Disk Copy 6.0.1. The only result was Disk Copy 6.1.2 User's Guide in a large organised collection of Macintosh files. (The same document is in Macintosh Garden, but not indexed by G.)

Do with it what you will.

edit add: I later found mention of "DiskCopy 6.0.1" in TidBITS#339/05-Aug-96 via Christoph Pfisterer's disktype Documentation.

That is one seriously flawed archive. Pity, seeing that it is such a huge archive. There was some good stuff placed there. Some of it is recoverable, but.....

All executable content in the "BasiliskII 2Gb Software 7.6.1" directory appears to be hosed.
Of the "Mac OS" folder, any floppy disk image that shows a size less than 1.4MB or 800K will be hosed.

YMMV

Much of the content from that archive can be found intact on this HFV image.

Its not so much that the content cannot be located elsewhere. I was dismayed at the seeming lack of understanding of the Macintosh resource fork when viewing this archive. Such a waste of space.

I see there is a 6GB gzipped tarball "Volume68k.tar.gz" on the 1st page. I'm thinking that its likely to suffer the same fate as the rest of this "archive", so will give it a miss.

What a travesty, so much goodness ruined...

ToddP needs an introduction to Stuffit Deluxe, and the HQX file format, and a time machine!
