| subject: | Minipix DOS33 and ProDOS disks 1-3 now ALL available |
I have updated MiniPix.zip on my website. http://www.clipshop.ca/DiskImages/MiniPix.zip I have added the Apple II DOS 3.3 versions to the ProDOS versionns and also my utility Mini2Rag which is a ProDOS program for viewing and converting Minipix of both the "Old" and "New" PrintShop varieties to the Native Mode .RAG format that I use in the AppleX Aztec-C environment. Source is included. http://www.clipshop.ca/DiskImages/MiniPix.zip If you have downloaded the version before this please download the latest version. It has much more. Here's how this happened (please read my previous posts on Minipix for the rest of the story: Update May 2008 How I reconstructed Minipix Disks 2 and 3 Apple DOS 3.3 Versions Shortly after I uploaded my announcement about the ProDOS versionsof Minipix Disks 1-3 I received an email from "RedskullDC" and attached to the email was a Disk Image of Disk 1 of the DOS 3.3 Version of MiniPix. So I again got busy and modified the Dat2Mini program ever so slightly to recreate the proper file names that the DOS 3.3 Version uses for Minipix. Unlike the ProDOS version which provided the Minipix as BSaved Images, the DOS 3.3 Version provided these as individual Minipix. I have no idea why this difference. So I reconstructed the DOS 3.3 Diskimages using Apple II Oasis entirely. I first tried CiderPress, but the file attributes couldn't be preserved en-masse. But I was delighted that Apple II Oasis did the whole job without running out of space after I deleted the files that I wanted to replace (It had space problems on the ProDOS version which is why I used CiderPress which has a replace function unlike Apple II Oasis.) Anyway, I recreated the title screens by combining the converted screens for Minipix that come with my ClipShop Utility with the converted screens from the version that Red had sent. The results again are pretty accurate as was the ProDOS conversion process. You now have all the Minipix disks available that I am aware of the Beagles ever producing (keeping in mind that disks 2 and 3 are reconstructed versions but they will do until the real ones come along). You also have the Mini2Rag utility and project complete with source code which will show you how to load your own MiniPix and RAG image fragments in an Aztec C program. You can also simply use this as a MiniPix viewer if you so desire. Have Fun!
