Details

Use this function to write amigaDisk objects as binary data to so-called Amiga Disk Files (ADF). These files can be used as input for Amiga emulator software.

Alternatively, the object can be saved with 'write.adz', which is essentially a gzipped version of an ADF file.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
## Let's write the example data to an ADF file:
data(adf.example)

## Let's put it in the current working directory:
write.adf(adf.example, "test.adf")

## You can also use file connections to do the same:
con <- file("test2.adf", "wb")
write.adf(adf.example, con)
close(con)

## Last but not least the same object can be saved
## as an adz file:
write.adz(adf.example, "test.3.adz")
}
