Horizon Converter is a utility to convert BBC software from the Internet to the format used by the Horizon BBC emulator for the Macintosh (and Horizon 1.3 (or newer) for Jaguar). It serves the same purpose as the Append and Beeb Disk Splitter programs supplied with Horizon, but offers rapid batch conversion via drag-and-drop to greatly simplify and speed up the process, keeps files of a program or disc image together in a folder and automatically routes converted files to the Horizon software folder from wherever they were downloaded. It also gives converted files handy icons. A must for any user of Horizon who downloads BBC software from the Net. Version 2.1 final is now posted with a few small changes. With help from some testing by macmcseboy, I have decided that dragging items onto the program’s main window in Mac OS X is just not going to work. However, you can indeed drag items onto the file header editor and EXEC viewer windows in X successfully. At present, no further support will be added for working with !BOOT files – this depends on whether Richard Bannister ever plans to put proper DFS support (or simulation) into Horizon. If not, I am open to ideas for how Horizon could make !BOOT files easier to manage. |
