I'm curious to know why one would need a blank FLP image file. Why not just use a QXL.win file? Are these microdrive and floppy formats particular to just Qemulator and Qlay? I've used floppy image files, but these are direct copies of a floppy using 'dd'.

This (plus much more) can be done with Structured SuperBasic (SSB) a SuperBasic preprocessor I wrote some years ago. I can be found on Dilwyn's site: http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/program/i...
