Using Floppy Diskette For Saves

    Well, let's say I wanted to use a USB memory stick. Same problem. It is not outdated, and is actually quite useful. I want to move all my stamps, saves, and preferences, but NOT the game itself. 

     

    ddir doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. The TPT terminal accepts the command but nothing changes.

    Don't put it in the TPT console, put it in the command line arguments.

     

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/command-line-switches-for-excel-HA010158030.aspx tells you how to use command line arguments with Excel. Follow instructions but adapt them for TPT. It probably needs to be something like "C:\wherever\powder.exe" ddir A:\

    just use a tool that "mirrors" that directory into another one.

    You can probably do something like 
    (cd /dev/disk1 && ~/tpt/powder)
    inside an actual terminal window to run TPT in that directory, since the Terminal on OSX should be Bash.

    But first, use 
    diskutil list
    to find the name of where your Floppy disk mounted itself inside the Unix-y file system.
