*** Conclusion
** Document revision 1.1
This document was compiled in an attempt to unify all the other smaller
files dealing with file types that are floating about the net, or that
exist with other programs. It is by no means exhaustive (even though it
looks like it), but attempts will be made to keep it up-to-date, and
correct anything which is wrong. Use it, pass it around, upload it,
whatever. Just be sure to leave it INTACT, don't remove bits of it.
The following people have helped in many ways with many of the details,
of this document (whether they know it or not!):
Immers/Neufeld ----- 1541 disk layout (from "Inside Commodore DOS")
Joe Forster/STA ---- FilePacked ZipCode, basic LHA/LZH header layout, LBR
samples/layout, GEOS info, many document corrections
Jouko Valta -------- The latest X64 specification and header layout
Marko Makela ------- Generic LNX format
Andreas Varga ------ GEOS file information
Miha Peternel ------ Basic T64 layout, FRZ (C64s version <= 2.0) file info
Wolfgang Lorenz ---- Conversion algorithm for PC64 files, .C64 file info
Andre Fachat ------- CPK format layout (he's the author)
Peter Weighill ----- Info on C64 bitmap images and Power64 saved files
Todd Elliott ------- Info on WRAptor, more info on CKIT-94
John Iannetta ------ SPYne info (he's the author)
Markus Mehring ----- 64NET, 64LAN, PCLINK custom files
Christian Link ----- F64 info and sample binaries
Per Hakan Sundell -- ROM cartridge .CRT file layout
A very special thank you goes to Paul David Doherty for his extensive
(what an understatement!) contributions regarding the 4 & 5 file DiskPacked
ZipCode format, Sixpack ZipCode, much of the GEOS file layout, some
ideas/samples for CKIT, and proof-reading this entire document! Without his
help, all three file format areas would rather sparse, and there would be
lots of silly spelling mistakes as well.
Also, plenty of good information can also be gleaned from the source code
contained in the archive CBMConvert, which is on the FTP.FUNET.FI FTP site.
Contained in it are the sources for UnZipCode, UnLNX, Ark, some LHA info,
etc. It is an invaluable set of utilities put together by both Marko Makela
and Paul Doherty.
