.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Cpmff
allows the manipulation of floppy images in cpm standard format.
The image is for a standard 8" floppy, single sided, single density,
with 77 tracks, 26 sectors/track, 128 byte/sector, with up to 64 files
per image.
Available commands are
.B c
to create a floppy image with specified files,
.B t
to tabulate files on a floppy image, and
.B x
to extract files from a floppy image
.sp
.BR C reate,
.BR x tract, and
.BR t abulate
accept file names as arguments.
The first 8 chars of the file name and the first 3 chars after the first '.'
will be used to make the cpm file name.
.sp
Available flags are:
.TP
.B v
verbose mode - more information.
.TP
.B s
Size information about files is provided, in 1 Kbyte groups.
.TP
.B f
.I image
specifies the file to use as cpm floppy image (default "floppy").
.TP
.B r
Raw mode is utilized when extracting files from image,
rather than discarding trailing control-z's from each sector.
.SH BUGS
This command is only usable with the raw floppy device, or with a file
created by flcopy(1) or itself, as the files are not true cpm images,
having been hashed by flcopy during the copy from the raw device.
.sp
Specifying a file multiple times on the command line will result in multiple
extractions, creations, or tabulations.
.sp
Text files going on floppy need a ^M at the end of each line to be usable
in cpm based microcomputers.
.sp
There is a risk that unix files will collide with the same cpm file name.
