About

A tool for handling Human68k (Sharp X68000) FAT12/FAT16 disk images.

For now, it can be used for listing and extracting files from XDF and DIM images. These are the most common, and other formats can be supported if requested. I can also add support for creating and altering images, if anyone requests it.

It uses the elm-chan FatFS library for reading the FAT filesystem, with small modifications.

Command-line usage

Usage: ./fathuman <action> <file> [<arguments>]
Actions:
        list     - List all the files (recursively)
        copyout - extract one file, specify as third argument

Using in Midnight Commander (mc)

Add the executable (or create a link) in /usr/lib/mc/extfs.d/. Add the following line to /etc/mc/mc.ext or ~/.config/mc/mc.ext

  regex/\.(xdf|dim|XDF|DIM)$
  	Open=%cd %p/fathuman://

Restart mc and you should now be able to just tap enter on dim and xdf files to view their content.
