8.3toAmiga ========== NOTE: read this file first, if you want to avoid trouble and loss of data! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since tfmx-play requires the TFMX files to be named in Amiga fashion (mdat.SONG / smpl.SONG), I have included a small script that renames all files in the current directory that are named in 8.3 DOS format (SONG.tfx / SONG.sam and SONG.TFX / SONG.SAM) to the Amiga format. Of course this only works if your filesystem supports long filenames... Example ------- The current dir contains these files: -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 116160 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.SAM -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 29184 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.TFX -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 158500 Mar 9 12:28 muds.sam -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 8400 Mar 9 12:28 muds.tfx After running "8.3toAmiga go", it looks like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 29184 Mar 9 12:29 mdat.R-TYPE -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 8400 Mar 9 12:28 mdat.muds -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 116160 Mar 9 12:29 smpl.R-TYPE -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 158500 Mar 9 12:28 smpl.muds ====================== Danger, Will Robinson! ====================== If your directory contains files like SONG.TFX/SONG.SAM and SONG.tfx/SONG.sam, the files ending with .tfx/.sam will be overwritten: -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 116168 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.sam (x) -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 29188 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.tfx (x) -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 116160 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.SAM -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 29184 Mar 9 12:29 R-TYPE.TFX thus becomes -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 29184 Mar 9 12:29 mdat.R-TYPE -rw-r--r-- 1 neo users 116160 Mar 9 12:29 smpl.R-TYPE (the files marked with (x) will be lost!) Also, mixed cases (SONG.tfx/SONG.SAM or SONG.TFX/SONG.sam) are not supported!
