Slither is a simple virtual floppy disk explorer that makes manipulating a virtual floppy disk easier. The editing prompt is provided as slither_cmd.py and a user-friendly gui version of the program is slither_gui.py. ALTHOUGH I'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON STABILITY, YOU SHOULD STILL BACK UP YOUR VIRTUAL FLOPPY DISKS BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM!

• Built as a console and gui for your preference.
• File manipulation including renaming, deleting, pulling, and pushing files.
• Directory manipulation currently includes reading. (Will include more features in the future.)
• Supports long file names.

Releases are currently being built for Windows and Linux using PyInstaller. You can find the latest releases here.

Here's an example of the prompt.

Slither CMD. Type help or ? for a list of commands.

()> mount myfloppy.flp
Sucessfully mounted the disk.
(myfloppy.flp)> dir

EDIT.BIN
NOTES.TXT

(myfloppy.flp)> add CALC.BIN
(myfloppy.flp)> dir
Directory of drive:

(myfloppy.flp)> unmount

You can pass a list of commands before the script runs by using a semicolon (;) to seperate them. Ex: py -3 slither_cmd.py mount myfloppy.flp;dir;add CALC.BIN;dir;unmount
