+.TH TO_PRO "1" "January 2011" "SlackBuilds.org" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+to_pro \- creates and copies files to Apple ProDOS disk images
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B to_pro
+[\fI-size\fR]
+[\fIfile\fR]
+<\fIfile\fR ...>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+to_pro is intended for use with the KEGS emulator.
+.PP
+to_pro creates a new ProDOS disk image called POOF1 in the current
+directory, of the given size, containing the specified file(s). At
+least one file must be given (to_pro cannot create a completely blank
+image), and up to 51 file arguments are allowed.
+.PP
+The size argument is in kilobytes (1024 bytes each), and must be larger than the total size of
+all the files (no checking is done, it's up to the user). ProDOS has a limit
+of 32MB per partition, so the \-size argument should always less than
+32767.
+.PP
+Long UNIX filenames are truncated to the 15\-character
+ProDOS limit.
+.PP
+The author warns that the generated disk image files should only be used
+temporarily, to copy files from the image to another ProDOS disk image
+that was formatted within KEGS using ProDOS itself (or, the generated
+image may be formatted within KEGS to create a proper blank disk image).
+.PP
+to_pro automatically sets the ProDOS filetype of files ending in ".shk"
+to $E0.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+to_pro \-800 wolfdemo.bxy
+Creates an 800KB disk image called POOF1, containing the file "wolfdemo.bxy"
+(which is likely an Apple IIgs archive, downloaded from an FTP or web site).
+Probably the next thing you will do be "mv POOF1 wolfdemo.dsk".
+.TP
+to_pro \-4096 wolfdemo.bxy
+Same as above, but creates a 4MB POOF1 image file instead.
+.TP
+to_pro \-32000 *.shk
+put all *.shk files in the current Unix directory into a 31.25MB
+image called POOF1.
