These programs should build on a standard linux system by simply unpacking the archive and typing 'make'. Porting to other unix-like OSes will be difficult owing to the direct access to the floppy disk controller. At least lif_phy.c will need major changes.
Manual pages are found in the manpages/ directory. XROM definition files (for prog41 and key41) are found in the xroms/ directory.
I disclaim any responsibility for damage due to errors in these programs, and am not responsible for loss of data or other damage caused by using them.
