About 10 years ago I posted in this group about wanting an Apple ][ emulator that would run on my then new Chromebook. Now, thanks to DOSBox, I'm able to run ApplePC which satisfies my current Apple ][ environment testing needs. But now I'm in need ofan image manipulator, like AppleCider, that doesn't need Windows, i.e. can run in DOSBox. Is there such a beast???

To be clear: you want a command-line utility that runs in MS-DOS?
What do you want it to do?

To be clear: you want a command-line utility that runs in MS-DOS?Yes, command line utility that runs in MS-DOS. Ideally, it would take a text file and convert it to an image of a 5.25 inch ProDOS disk. That way, I could mount the image in ApplePC and transfer the text file to an existing 32 MB HD image for

So you want it to _inject_ a text file into an existing disk image? Or,Either one. When I test using AppleCider and AppleWin, via Windows 10, I do any final editing on the text file with Notepad and then transfer the text file into a 32 MB HD image for compilation and testing. ApplePC accesses the same '.HDV' files as
you want the text file to somehow form the basis for a new disk image?
I'd like to work with you on improving AppleCider's ability to cope with images of CP/M disks.

Presumably you mean CiderPress?
The support in CiderPress is a reflection of my level of familiarity with CP/M, which is
pretty low. It supports 140KB disks, but read-only.
I found what appear to be a couple of 800KB CP/AM disks, which look like CP/M with a
different catalog start and possibly a different block size. The tricky part is stuff
like, "The DPB is not usually stored on disc. It is either hardwired into the BIOS, or
generated on the fly." (https://www.seasip.info/Cpm/format31.html) So it might be
necessary to have a set of possible configurations and apply each in turn until something
reasonable pops out.
In any event, I hope to have time to make some improvements in a couple of months.
With respect to your original question, Cadius (https://brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/cadius/index.html) can create disk images
and copy files on and off of ProDOS disks. If you want actual MS-DOS, and not just
command-line, it'd probably work for that as well, being straightforward ANSI C.

The Debian
`cpmtools' package has a file, /etc/cpmtools/diskdefs, with information
on the disk layouts for quite a variety of systems and floppy-disk
sizes. There are 98 such definitions in the package on my system.
There is MSDos command line software for the Apple II that Reads/writes to FAT formatted disks.

Peter Watson's shareware MSDOS utilities, for the IIgs (Orca/GNO).
This looks like it: https://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/msdos-tools-v2-21.html

No. This is not what I have. The one I have is Prodos system based and does not have .exe or S16 files.
I can't seem to locate it on Asimov, so I think I may have got it through someones collection I bought at one time.
Ah, writing MSDOS _from_ the GS. That wasn't the direction I understood

sim2du10.zip at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/simiie/ appears to be exactly that which I originally requested.
This information found at https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/apple2/emulator/2-9-10-SimIIe-SimSystem-IIe-version-1-0.html
One thing to be aware of: for Sim //e, a ".HDV" file had a small header on it. CiderPress recognizes the files but I don't know how many other things will. The header is a fixed-length string ("SIMSYSTEM_HDV") followed by the volume block count, andthe rest of the file is just ProDOS-ordered blocks like you'd find in .po/.hdv, so modifying the tools to work on other files should be straightforward.
"AFTP" didn't complain that the header I prepended to the '.DSK' file had a volume block count of $FFFF.
Non-Windows disk image manipulator no longer needed as I'm now able
to access CiderPress and AppleWin from my Chromebook via Chrome
Remote Desktop. My thanks to all who responded in this thread.
