Here are roughly the steps of seeing this work in progress. Step 1: Download the mtcf-snapshot.blk file and copy to a floppy starting at sector 0. The Image should be 200 blocks long. for Unix/Linux systems one can use "bput 0 mtcf-snapshot.blk" for windows one can use rawrite or debug. Step 2: Use the word "l" to load mtcf. This will effectively load block 170. Step 3: At this point mtcf should load and run. One will notice changes like: the keypad is on the left hand side of the screen. The words VC 0 in magenta indicate which virtual console one is using. Use the function keys F1-F6 to change vc's. Step 4: try something like this to get a feel for what I'm trying to achieve. press F1. then do a "0 dump" This should run the dump program as expected. Press F2 and try doing "icons" this should load the icons program as expected. pressing F1 again will take you back to the still running dump program. Try pressing F3 and doing "colors" this should load the color display utility. I hope this gives you a bit of a feel for the idea. Step 5: To end mtcf at the moment one needs to use the word "mt" it will crash if not used from VC0. So to end mtcf press F1 then "mt".
