Despite its age, I still use Discover from Dave Walker. Not pointer
driven - works on just about any system with disks and direct sector
access. It's shareware though.
Try one of Jonathan Hudson's disk readers, QLTools or similar.
Not 100% sure but I think ATR_rext didn't support level 2
On a disk I have here, I've found a file called
QTYP_DICTIONARY_VLAAMS - does anyone have any idea (a) what language
is it (Dutch?) and (b) what it might be (i.e. content)?
