Star Tape This program was designed to create tape images by collecting PC64 file images into them. It does not handle relative files since I have never seen one. Star Tape is an external utility of The Star Commander but is also distributed separately. 1. Usage STARTAPE |@ : Type the path and the mask of the source files here. You can use wildcards to process multiple file images and you can use long filenames, too. : If you have the list of the source files in a file, then type the path, the name and the extension of the list file here. Note that you have to use a short filename and prepend the '@' symbol to it. : Type the path and the name of the tape image here (the extension of tape images is always '.t64'). The directory of the tape image will have just enough entries to hold all the converted files. You can use long filenames. 2. Error messages FILENAME.EXT not found The file does not exist. Cannot create FILENAME.EXT The file could not be created for some reason. Too many files You can only convert a maximum of 499 files into a tape image. FILENAME.EXT has an invalid header The usual header of file images was not found in the file. 3. Copyright and legal issues This program is freeware. You can use it as long as you wish and you can spread it as you like provided that it is in the original unmodified archive. Don't distribute single files only the whole package and don't ask for money above the normal fee of the distribution media itself. This program may not be included in any compilation or sold on disk or CD-ROM without my prior permission. 4.
