There will be 4 new categories in Apple II DATs when I'm done splitting them:
[DO]
Filesystem = DOS, there might be files marked as [unk filesys] and have *.do extensions, I do this to keep software in 1 DAT, for example:
Bank Street Speller (1984)(Broderbund)(Disk 1 of 2)[cr Apple Mafia].do
Bank Street Speller (1984)(Broderbund)(Disk 2 of 2)[cr Apple Mafia][unk filesys].do
It would be bad to put disk 2 into the [DSK] DAT because you then would have to search for all files in the 4 different folders to get a complete set.
[PO]
Filesystem = ProDOS, there might be files marked as [unk filesys], read above.
[DSK]
Filesystem = CP/M can be seen by [more info] field [CPM]
Filesystem = Pascal can be seen by [more info] field [PASCAL]
Filesystem = RDOS can be seen by [more info] field [RDOS]
Filesystem = unknown, can't be identified so they stay as *.dsk, files won't have any [more info] field.
[NIB]
A "disk image" is typically a file containing every data byte on a diskette,i.e. Catalog tracks, files, DOS (if present) etc.. One kind of disk image, NIB, tries to preserve all disk information (e.g. sector headers, sync bytes, etc.).
Feel free to post your opinion about it, atm I'm just done with splitting the Applications DAT which took me quite alot time because it takes more checks than I thought to split them.
