Jeff Parsons 715e603ea2 Added --xdf option to DiskDump to enable (experimental) XDF support
Without --xdf, DiskDump simply dumps an XDF disk image as a vanilla 80-track, 23-sectors-per-track disk image.
In addition, I regenerated all the PC-DOS 7.00 disk images without --xdf, to see if that works any better (it seems to work for VirtualBox)

DiskDump

Module (and command-line utility) for converting disk images to/from various formats (eg, JSON, commented JSON, and IMG files).

Building images from folders/files

I finally ported the code in convdisk.php that creates disk images from the contents of local files/folders, which you can now access via the DiskDump API.

For example:

http://www.pcjs.org/api/v1/dump?path=/apps/pc/1981/visicalc/bin/vc.com;../README.md&format=json

would be equivalent to the older PHP script operation:

http://jsmachines.net/bin/convdisk.php?file=/apps/pc/1981/visicalc/bin/vc.com&format=json&download=true

These commands produce a "disk.json", a copy of which is stored at /apps/pc/1981/visicalc.
