Goodness gracious... clicking on hundreds of files to download it all?!

 

Any chance you could just upload a zip file of the last several posts of attachments? Thanks!

Thanks for doing this @rcamp48.  Not sure if you want to delete the individual posts.

 

EDIT - new updated ZIP posted on the next page.

Updated - for some reason, there were 418 disks posted, but your ZIP only had 200 or so.  Here's all 418 I downloaded.  Old file has been deleted.

 

First 418.zip

@rcamp48 You seem to be a good software sleuth. I am searching for a disk called PicPrint Pro [IIRC] 6.2.  BITD, I sold exactly ONE copy of it for $15.00. I lost the source code LONG ago. I released a demo version of it that works, but prints graffiti all over the picture. I obfuscated the code to make it unhackable and I am not able to remove the graffiti now.

I appreciate anything you can find.

Sold by MKD Systems, Apollo PA

I phoned Carolyn Hoglin [nice lady] (who reviewed it favorably) but she didn't have it. I don't remember selling that one copy to her, so someone who bought it must have given it to her. Please don't look her up and bother her. It's been I don't know, 5-6 years since I spoke w/ her.

 

I have this, but I don't think it's what you're looking for (crashes for me).

Pic Print 2.atr

Sadly, if it sold at that level, then the pirates would never have picked it up, so it vanishes..

 

I looked through all my stuff and it's a no here

Kyle22,

Do you remember advertising it somewhere? Even something like a couple of lines in a user group magazine? Or was it listed/mentioned in any shareware/public domain catalog?

I checked out that picprint2 file, it is a k file that is missing part of the info, @Zarx do you have a regular atr of it, ??? there is data missing from it, if you have a 92 K atr I may be able to do something with it, it is definitely the file that we are looking for, all I know is that it is a k file, it boots as far as the main menu then crashes. Russ

 

Edit : its just a bad atr from the Holmes collection, I fixed it so its readable by sector editors

No, just this file unfortunately. I can get it to load further using AltirraOS for 400/800 but it crashes again when the data stops at sector 96.

OK I can copy the sectors from the atr I fixed and the original, it seems to start on sector 4 , does anyone know how to copy from sectors 4 to ??? and create an xex from the file, I was thinking of a few users here that can do this, the pic print 2 file comes from the holmes collection, it can be turned into an xex file if I can figure out how many sectors, etc, I was able to read the file with scanalyzer from Alpha Systems.

The atr file from Pic Print 2 is definitely is supposed to have a DOS directory, I can trace that in the file, maybe a dos directory has to be rebuilt, its either protected, or has a hidden dos directory, I may be able to lead it in with my 130 XE and use Omnimon XL to create a file from memory, but I have forgotten how to use Omnimon XL.

I am going to use Omnimon XL to create a floppy disk with my 130  XE and a 1050 disk drive, I have the fixed atr on my fujinet and can see where the should go, but I will need help from you, Kyle, posibly a copy of the shareware version that has all of the needed files on it, right now I am using atr2disk to write out a 720 K disk .

I did NOT copy protect it.

 

OK I am working on the file right now and will use OmnimonXL to create a disk, do you have a copy of the disc that you have , the shareware disk can be used, I need to know an idea of the directory layout oin it.

I don't know where it is now. I was a member of Spectrum Atari Group of Erie. If you can find their Librarian who has the library now... It may be there. I haven't talked to any of them for a WHILE. I talked to someone years ago and got excuses about who has the Library. We had a GREAT LIbrary. I want it back.
