A2Catalog auto-detects normal 144k disks.

April 11, 1999
A2Catalog v1.1

Announcing the release of a new version of a free Apple ][ 
Disk Image Utility to support Apple ][ emulators

A2Catalog is a utility program to manipulate files containing 
Apple ][ 5.25" 16 sector disk images for use with Apple ][ 
emulators. Specifically, A2Catalog allows you to:
1. Read in .DO (.DSK), .PO (.RAW), .NIB, and .2MG (2IMG) files, 
   even if .gz (GZIP) compressed;
2. View the file's contents as an Apple ][ disk dump;
3. View and save the catalog (directory) of disks in DOS 3.3, 
   ProDOS, RDOS 2.1, RDOS 3.3, and Apple Pascal formats;
4. Extract certain file types on an OS/Filetype basis;
5. Save the disk image file as .DO, .PO, .NIB, or .2MG; and 
6. Create new disk images formatted as DOS 3.3 and ProDOS.

Further information about A2Catalog along with the download 
can be found at:

Please direct all A2Catalog inquiries to the news group:
comp.emulators.apple2

Note:
A2Catalog is written in Java as an application, not an
applet, so you can't run it from a Java enabled web
browser.  You must have the Java runtime version 1.1+
installed.  A2Catalog should run on any platform supporting 
Java 1.1+.

Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:
1.1 April 11, 1999
Corrected data checksums in NIB output.
Replaced deprecated methods.
Suppressed some multi-characters in Macintosh high-ascii dump.
Added ability to extract files as text.
Added ability to extract selected file types interpreted.
Modified Catalog saved to disk to show originating disk image file name.
Modified Dump to show byte addresses.
