       tor.

       c1541 can be used both in interactive and batch mode.  It will start in interactive mode if no images and no options are  specified  or	if
       one image is specified; when started in interactive mode, command line editing and command history are available.

       Each command line option for use in batch mode has an interactive mode counterpart, that is shown in parenthesis.

	       detach image from c1541.

       -format image (format image 'name,id')

	      concatenate oldname1, oldname2... into newname on image (can be used to copy files).

       -create image dump ['descr'] (create image dump ['descr']
	      build image from raw dump file dump (i.e. convert from D64 to X64 file).

       -tape image tapeimage [files...] (tape image tapeimage [files...])
	      transfer files from tapeimage to image (default is all files).

       -read image 1541name [fsname] (read 1541name [fsname])
	      extract 1541name from the disk image into fsname (1541name by default) from image.

       -extract image (extract).
	      extract all files from image.

       -write image fsname [1541name] (write fsname [1541name])
	      write fsname to image as 1541name (fsname by default).  (works with P00 files as well).

       -block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp] (block [drive:] [track] [sector] [disp])
	      show disk blocks in hex format.

       -info image ['descr'] (info ['descr'])
	      show version information about image.

       When more than one command is specified in batch mode, all of them are executed in the same order they have on the command line.
