mc_uadf/README.rst

Midnight Commander extfs plugin for handling Amiga adf/dms floppy images.

Requirements

It requires unadf utility from ADFlib repository.

If it turns out that your distribution doesn't provide proper version of ADFlib, there will be a need for building it by hand.

It may be done by using following steps:

1. Grab the sources and patches from Debian repository.

2. Extract unadf_0.7.11a-3.debian.tar.gz and unadf_0.7.11a.orig.tar.gz into some temporary directory:

   $ mkdir temp
   $ cd temp
   $ tar zxf ~/Downloads/unadf_0.7.11a-3.debian.tar.gz
   $ tar zxf ~/Downloads/unadf_0.7.11a.orig.tar.gz
   $ cd unadf-0.7.11a

3. Apply Debian patches:

   $ for i in `cat ../debian/patches/series`; do
   > patch -Np1 < "../debian/patches/${i}"
   > done

4. Apply the patch from extras directory:

   $ patch -Np1 < [path_to_this_repo]/extras/unadf_separate_comment.patch
   $ make
   $ cp Demo/unadf [destination_path]

5. Place unadf binary under directory reachable by $PATH.

For optional dms support, xdms utility is needed.

Installation

• install extfslib

• copy uadf to ~/.local/share/mc/extfs.d/

  # adf
  type/^Amiga\ .* disk
      Open=%cd %p/uadf://
      View=%view{ascii} unadf -lr %f
  
  # adz
  regex/\.([aA][dD][zZ])$
      Open=%cd %p/uadf://
  
  # dms
  regex/\.([dD][mM][sS])$
      Open=%cd %p/uadf://
