Hi,

Well I pulled my old A5000 out of the attic, and pulled the rom images.

Now I've got them loaded into arcem, and compiled the latest cvs with
hostfs support. (It wouldn't compile with the #include
<sys/syslimits.h> in hostfs.c, but will happily without it) but I've
no idea how to get any of my acorn files into it.

I used dsktrans to get the file images off a couple of my old
floppies, but arcem won't mount the images. So I used the python
ADFS-libs to get the individual files off the disk images.

How does one get arcem to mount the hostfs system?

Alternatively, how can I get an adfs hard disk image that I can mount
from both Arcem and from linux? Then I could copy the files to that
and edit them, and copy them back off.

[ The point of all this is that I have a file in acorn !draw format
(My familt tree back to 1720) that has a huge amount of text
information. Most drawfile converters won't convert text only paths.
So I'd like to use the 'Convert to path' option in draw this can then
be converted to some other format. ]

On another note. It was an oddly nostalgic moment to see the old
RISCOS boot screen up after all these years.

Thanks

Tom
