LIF command summary
- Built in help
- Summary - List, Create, import, export, translate, copy, rename, delete, etc
- NOTE: Each disk image is a single file, encoded in LIF format,saved on the SD Card
- LIF format is a common the filesystem on series 80 computers.
- LIF format is also a vary common file interchange format for series 80 computers
- LIF format includes file date,size permissions and other important meta data
- Translate between DTA8x (type E010) and plain text files
- You can add a plain text file, and translate it, into a LIF image with file format DTA8x (type E010)
- You can extract and translate DTA8x (type E010) into a plain text files
- Key LIF manipulation features
- dir display a directory of a LIF image
- Directory listing of LIF images and SSD Card files
- If you have an RTC the listing can display file and LIF volume date and time
- Display time stamps if they were set
- But only if they were created or added with the built in tools
- add an ascii file to LIF image
- This function permits renaming of the translated file
- They get translated between HP85 DTA8x (type E010) format and plain text files!!!
- extract ASCII files from LIF image
- This function permits renaming of the translated file
- They get translated between HP85 DTA8x (type E010) format and plain text files!!!
- addbin add binary programs from one LIF image to another LIF image
- This function permits renaming of the translated file
- extractbin a single binary file or program into a new LIF image
- This function permits renaming of the translated file
- Extracted LIF images contain a single file a 256 byte volume header, 256 byte directory followed by a file.
- del delete file in LIF image
- rename file in LIF image
- create create a LIF image specifing a label, directory size and overall disk size
- createdisk create a LIF image specifying a label and drive model name
- For more **LIF** documentation
LIF command examples
- lif add lifimage lifname from_ascii_file
- Add ASCII file converted to E010 format to existing LIF image on SD card
- lif add /amigo1.lif TEST1 /test.bas
- lif add /amigo1.lif TREK85 /TREK85/TREK85.BAS
- Notes:
- Strings must be no longer then sector size - 3
- Any trailing "\n" and/or "\r" are coverted to "\n" when stored in LIF file
- lif addbin lifimage lifname from_lif_image
- Adding a binary LIF image files to another LIF image
- Examples
- lif addbin /amigo1.lif TEST /test.lif
- lif addbin /amigo1.lif TREK85 /TREK85/trek.lif
- Notes about TREK85 in the examples
- lif create lifimage liflabel directory_sectors total_sectors
- Create a new LIF image
- Example
- lif create /amigo3.lif AMIGO3 15 1120
- This formats an LIF image file with 15 directory sectors and a length of 1120 (16 * 2 * 35) sectors
- lif del lifimage lifname
- Delete a file from LIF image on SD card
- Example *lif del /amigo1.lif TREK85
- lif dir lifimage
- Directory listing of LIF image
Example:
lif dir amigo1.lif

- lif extract lifimage lifname to_ascii_file
- Extracts E010 file from LIF image converting to ASCII file on SD card
- Example lif extract /amigo1.lif HELLO3 /HELLO3.BAS
- lif extractbin lifimage llifname to_lif_image
- Extracts LIF file from a LIF image and saves it as new LIF image

TELEDISK command usage
- Convert TeleDIsk LIF encoded disk into pure LIF file
- lif td02lif image.td0 image.lif
TELEDISK conversion technical notes - extracting LIF data
- Unfortunately TeleDisk saves everything in on all sides and tracks.
- Question: what happens when we have a disk formatted multiple times with differing parameters ?
- Example 1
- Say we start an image that was two sided 80 track disk, 9 sectors, 512 byte sectors
- Later on someone formats it single sides 35 track disk, 16 sectors, 256 bytes sectors
- Analisis
- We examing the first 30 tracks on both sides looking for:
- FIRST sector on both sides and its size
- LAST sector on both size that matches the size
- COUNT of sectors on each side that matches the size
- We then compare sector COUNT, compare sector SIZE, and FIRSTd
- If SIZE or COUNT is not the same reject
- If only FISRT mismatches we then check FIRST for continuation of numbering on each side
- Conclusion
- We can reject side two by comparing the
- FIRST sector number, Number of sectors and size
- Eample 2
- We have a double sided disk that is formated single sided with FIRST,LAST,COUNT and SIZE matching
- Analisis
- We have no automated way to reject side two
- Conclusion
- The user will have to override heads
TELEDISK extracting LIF data user overrides
- Number of Sides:
- You CAN specify single sided override for two sided disks
- (as defined in the TeleDisk headers)
- However you can NOT specify 2 sided mode if the TeleDisk image headers say there is one side
- Sector Size override
- Rather then using the SIZE of the FIRST sector as a filter the user can manually pick the size
- Number of tracks overrides
- The LIF decoder stops after the last sector of the last file so this option is ignored
