Help STILL needed labeling .ST files!

[Harry Potter]

Hi! I still need help labeling some .ST disk images on a PC. I have two versions of the STEEM emulator on Win10/64 and the Michtron utilities. How do I do it? I want to install Lattice C, and the User's Guide says I need to label the disk images on which I install the compiler.

Create a blank disk in steem and format it which will let you label it, then copy all the files over to the new disk.

How do I format a 880k disk? I have a blank disk image to use.

tjlazer, does your method work on 880k disk images? The Lattice C manual says I need a special method to handle such disks.

Mount your 880K disk image in Steem. Click the drive icon and in the menu, click "File" and then "Information". Give the disk a name.

Perhaps a more important question is, "Why are you using Lattice C?" The community has long favored Pure C and AHCC. Pure C is basically Borland C, including the BGI libraries, and AHCC code is Pure C compatible. The best graphic and sound libraries in C for the Atari (i.e., GODLIB) are Pure C compatible.

 

Of course, this is assuming you want to actually write code on the Atari. But you don't. You want to write code that will EXECUTE on the Atari. You want to WRITE the code and CROSS-COMPILE the code on a modern desktop; Windows, Mac, or Linux. For this, you will go find "Vincent Rivière's m68k-atari-mint cross-tools".

That's actually Disk Information, and you can not change/edit disk label there. Diverse Disk Util SW can do it.

As usual, I will link mine http://atari.8bitchip.info/floimgd.php

Look for COPYACC.ZIP at bottom - that's for Atari. May use program DISKIMAG too - little upper. It says DISKNAME, but that's it - label.
