DWLOAD server implemented in Python (OpenSource, GPL v3 or above).

Connect your Dragon 32 into your PC and LOAD/SAVE basic listings.

~$ git clone https://github.com/6809/DwLoadServer.git~$cd DwLoadServer~/DwLoadServer$ ./devshell.py run serial

• load/save files via DWLOAD
• on-the-fly converting ASCII BASIC listing (see below)
• dynamic "AUTOLOAD.DWL" (see below)
• backup all files on save
• SupportUSB Adapter andBecker TCP/IP Interface.

Tested DWEEBS:

Implemented DriveWire Transactions:

• enhanceAUTOLOAD.DWL.py, see:http://archive.worldofdragon.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4977
• compare checksum
• write unittests

There is a general machanism to generate DLOAD responses via Python:

• Store in server root a python script, e.g.: "FOO.BAR.py"
• DLOAD the file (without .py extension) on client, e.g.:DLOAD"FOO.BAR"

The script will be called via subprocess and it must write the Dragon DOS binary data back to stdout.

Currently, there is only onepyscript file:AUTOLOAD.DWL.py (see below)

There exist a way to generate a dynamic DWLOAD menu.Just copy the file/dwload-demo-files/AUTOLOAD.DWL.py into your server root.

Thepyscript reads the server root directory and list all files into the DLOAD menu.e.g. the server root looks like this:

/HOME/FOO/DWLOAD-FILES  +--- AUTOLOAD.DWL.py  +--- HEXVIEW.BAS  +--- TEST.BAS  \--- SAVE

The generated listing looks like this:

10 CLS20 PRINT" *** DYNAMIC MENU ***  14:11:18"30 PRINT"/HOME/FOO/DWLOAD-FILES"40 PRINT" 0 - HEXVIEW.BAS"50 PRINT" 1 - TEST.BAS"60 PRINT" 2 - SAVE"70 PRINT"PLEASE SELECT (X FOR RELOAD) !"80 A$=INKEY$:IF A$="" GOTO 8090 IF A$="X" THEN DLOAD100 IF A$="0" THEN DLOAD"HEXVIEW.BAS"110 IF A$="1" THEN DLOAD"TEST.BAS"120 IF A$="2" THEN DLOAD"SAVE"130 GOTO 10

You must only callDLOAD on you Dragon to get this menu. Because aDLOAD will requestAUTOLOAD.DWL and the Python server will all.py and callAUTOLOAD.DWL.py if exist.

This feature make the following file:

|/dwload_server/hooks/dynamic_dwl.py | general API to 'pyscript' files ||/dwload_server/pyscripts/autoload_dwl.py | generates the DWLOAD menu |

The server read/save ASCII BASIC listing and send/store them to the DWLOAD client on-the-fly.So you can edit listings on your PC and try them on your Dragon without any external conventions!

e.g.: save

10 PRINT"HELLO WORLD!"DLOAD"SAVE""HELLO.BAS"DWLOAD!OK

The server will create two files:

e.g. load (and execute):

DLOAD"HELLO.BAS"!HELLO WORLD!OK

(Note: the first! is from DWLOAD ROM routine)

The server will read theHELLO.BAS ASCII listing and convert is on-the-fly to the needed Dragon DOS Binary Formatand send this back to the Dragon.

This feature make the following files:

|/dwload_server/hooks/read_ascii.py | read ASCII listing and send as binary to client ||/dwload_server/hooks/save_ascii.py | save binary from client as ASCII on server |

Clone sources and bootstrap viadev-shell, e.g.:

~$ git clone https://github.com/6809/DwLoadServer.git~$cd DwLoadServer~/DwLoadServer$ ./devshell.py...Developer shell - DWLOAD Server - v0.4.0Documented commands (use'help -v'for verbose/'help <topic>'for details):dev-shell commands==================fix_code_style      poetry   pytest     toxlist_venv_packages  publish  pyupgrade  updateDWLOAD Server Commands======================runUncategorized=============aliashelphistory  macro  quitset  shortcuts(dwload_server) run --helpUsage: run [-h] [--root-dir ROOT_DIR] [--log-level {0, 10, 20, 30, 30, 40, 50, 50, 99, 100}] {becker, serial} ...optional arguments:  -h, --help            show thishelp message andexit  --root-dir ROOT_DIR  --log-level {0, 10, 20, 30, 30, 40, 50, 50, 99, 100}                        Logging level: 10=DEBUG, 20=INFO, 30=WARNING, 40=ERROR, 50=CRITICAL/FATAL (default: 20)Interface:  {becker, serial}    becker              Use the Becker interface    serial              Use the serial interface(dwload_server) run serial

You can also run as cli, e.g.: Start serial DWLOAD server:

~/DwLoadServer$ ./devshell.py run serial
