Thanks for sharing this news Mike, seems like quite a useful set of tools.

If anyone reading this speaks Linux, git, and Windows, and could build Windows versions of Mikes new tools to share with the community, I think many (at least several!) folks here would be very appreciative. A general-purpose utility that can convert TD0 <==> LIF images would be very handy and save much time as compared to either dredging out the vintage PC, or using the multi-step procedures available with other conversion utilities.

Many (most) of the Series-80 disk images are available only in TD0 format, while new ways to consume those files (Everett's EMU85 and FDIO (to write LIF media) are good examples) depend on having LIF volumes.
