This gem provides a cli wrapper around c1541 provided with the vice emulator.

Execution will look recursively inside a directory (specified by --source-dir/-s, by default ./) for T64 files to convert to D64 files.

It will look for T64 files as plain files and also look inside any zip files to see if they contain a T64, a D64, or another zip file (if they do it will be unzipped into a temporary directory to operate on.)

A new directory (specified by --output-dir/-o, by default ./C64DISKS will be created, or reused if it already exists.

Every T64 file found will have a new directory made which has the same name as the T64 file (if it is SHOWDOWN.T64 a directory SHOWDOWN created), placed into a subdirectory which is the same of the first letter (uppercased) of the T64 filename (so as to alphabetise them) and have any .nfo file found in the same location as the T64 placed into the same directory.

All of the files in the output directory will be created with uppercase names.

So in the following structure:

.
└── tape_images
    └── showdown
        ├── SHOWDOWN.T64
        └── VERSION.nfo

Would produce

.
├── C64DISKS
│   └── S
│       └── SHOWDOWN
│           ├── SHOWDOWN.D64
│           └── VERSION.nfo
└── tape_images
    └── showdown
        ├── SHOWDOWN.T64
        └── VERSION.nfo

Note in the above example the showdown directory could be a zip file named showdown.zip instead of a directory and the same result would be produced (utilising a temporary directory to perform the extraction).
