At +least one file must be given (to_pro cannot create a completely blank +image), and up to 51 file arguments are allowed. +.PP +The size argument is in kilobytes (1024 bytes each), and must be larger than the total size of +all the files (no checking is done, it's up to the user). ProDOS has a limit +of 32MB per partition, so the \-size argument should always less than +32767. +.PP +Long UNIX filenames are truncated to the 15\-character +ProDOS limit. +.PP +The author warns that the generated disk image files should only be used +temporarily, to copy files from the image to another ProDOS disk image +that was formatted within KEGS using ProDOS itself (or, the generated +image may be formatted within KEGS to create a proper blank disk image). +.PP +to_pro automatically sets the ProDOS filetype of files ending in ".shk" +to $E0. +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +to_pro \-800 wolfdemo.bxy +Creates an 800KB disk image called POOF1, containing the file "wolfdemo.bxy" +(which is likely an Apple IIgs archive, downloaded from an FTP or web site). +Probably the next thing you will do be "mv POOF1 wolfdemo.dsk". +.TP +to_pro \-4096 wolfdemo.bxy +Same as above, but creates a 4MB POOF1 image file instead. +.TP +to_pro \-32000 *.shk +put all *.shk files in the current Unix directory into a 31.25MB +image called POOF1. +.SH SEE ALSO +xkegs(1) +.br +partls(1) +.PP +More information on to_pro in /usr/doc/kegs\-@VERSION@/README.kegs.txt +.SH AUTHORS +KEGS and to_pro are by Kent Dickey <kadickey at princeton dot edu>. +.PP +This manual page was written by B. Watson for the SlackBuilds.org project (but +may be used by anyone for any reason). |
