The programs I use to extract on Unix are send to comp.binaries.apple2. From article <1581@mentor.cc.purdue.edu>, by asd@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (Kareth): > > YES, YES there's interest! I have Mousetalk which allows me to download > > Questions: > - Does your program extract from an exec file? or just blu files? I've send programs that recreate the binaries from an exec file, which then can be used with the unblu program (also send). > - Can it handle files that have been split? If think you mean exec files that are split in to two or more postings. Well, I'm sorry you have to merge the postings into one. For files created by executioner with 6-bit encoding, remove all overhead so you only have the 6-bit encoded part. To join two files, remove the last twoo characters of the last line in each file and past them together. For example: File 1: ------- CALL -151 ... F00G A000BD0099... . . . A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE00 BSAVE .... File 2: ------- CALL -151 ... F00G A000BD0099... . . . A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE00 BSAVE .... Remove all overhead (mail headers, call -151 ... F00G, bsave ..). Remove the trailing 0 from the last lines in each file (this is not necessary for the last file, i.e. file 2), join them resulting in the following file: A000BD0099... . . . A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE A000BD0099... . . . A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE A0A0A0A0A0A0EAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE This file can be processed by the 'unbit' program to create the binary file. - Marcel -- ######################################### # Marcel J.E.
