I wrote this when I got my first disk system - it's a simple collection of disk utilities written in Extended BASIC.

This makes use of Barry Traver's XXB extensions, which are autoloaded by the LOAD program. After getting to the READY prompt, enter RUN "DSK1.TOOLBOX" to get into the program.

It only works with single-sided, single density (90k) floppies, so it's really more curiousity than anything else. It's also fairly slow, due to be written in XB.

Note: this program worked when I last used it /32 years ago/, but I take no responsibility for it now. Classic99 won't like a lot of the utilities, and it doesn't expect errors in certain operations.

Once it starts, press a key to get past the title page.
