Brent!

I FINALLY found a program that can make .d81 Commodore images on a MAC! The issue is that I am having problems understanding how to do this. Can you tell me step by step (CLI and all) how to install this as I need to get this running fast.

Thanks!

Okay, well I think I got the .jar to load. The instructions on the website are pretty straight forward, though with a bit of inaccurate information (LINKS).

I was unable to get it to work with just installing the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), and had to install the full JDK (Java Development Kit.).

I used JDK 8 https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java ... 33151.html

Since I tried installing JDE first, I am not sure if you need to install both JDK and JDE. Here is the link to the runtime environment in case just the JDK alone does not work. https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java ... 33155.html

Once you have the JDK installed open the terminal.app and type java. You should see output and be returned to the command prompt.

Now download droid64

For testing, if you already have a dev directory in your home directory awesome, if not either create one with mkdir dev
or put the the file to the location of your choice. The easiest way to do this is type in your command window cp<SPACE> then drag the droid64-0.15b.jar file into your command window. Notice it will input the absolute path into the command line with a space for you. Simply enter the destination path, or ./ for the current directory. Press <Enter>

Now do a directory listing to make sure the file was copied, and enter java -jar ./droid64-0.15b.jar <ENTER> to test. It should how load.

Figuring out how to use it is up to you.

Once you confirm that it is working, let me know and I tell you a couple of methods to get this to execute from anywhere in your terminal or create an icon that will execute a script.

No bueno...

Any ideas?

Can you send me the output of the ls of your /dev directory?

Why is dev in root? I would suggest putting it in your home directory /Users/<shortname>/

Or use the shortcut ~ (Which denotes your home directory in paths).

Good morning,

I still have not seen the reply with the contents of your /dev directory.
