Introduction

Dragon Tools is a library for making it easier to work with the Dragon family of home computers from the early 1980s, whether real or emulated. The Dragon is currently well supported by emulators running on Windows and a number of other platforms. The goal of the Dragon Tools library is to make it easier to interface to these emulators and move data between emulators and a native Windows environment. This starts with basic support for reading and writing virtual disk and tape-based filesystems used by the emulators. I also have short term plans to add an assembler and other tools to make Dragon development in a Windows environment easy and frictionless.

Dragon Tools is also a collection of tools based on the library.

The library and tools are written entirely in C#. Currently Windows .NET Framework 4.0 must be installed for the library and tools to work. The source code is maintained as a Visual Studio 2012 solution. You should be able to use the free Visual Studio 2012 Express edition to play with the code.

Source and binaries are available under a BSD licence. See the License.txt file in the repository for details. Binary releases are available from http://www.rolfmichelsen.com/dragontools

Development status

A library needs a stable API to be useful. This library is currently in an experimental state where significant changes to the API must be anticipated. This wiki will be updated as the API matures and reaches a more stable state.
