Dragon Toolkit
The Dragon Toolkit is a collection of tools for working with the Dragon family of 1980s home computers from a Windows environment. Only a limited set of tools is available at this time, but the goal is to support a collection of tools to support Dragon file management, development work, etc. The Dragon Toolkit is also a .NET library that makes it easier to create such tools. Tools, the library and source code are made available under a friendly open source license.
Note that this software is highly experimental and under development. For the time being no assumptions about compatibility with previous or future releases of this software can be made. Comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Tools
The binary distribution contains a number of tools briefly described in this section. See the documentation in the binary distribution package for more details about each tool. Source for all tools is included in the source distribution.
