# konilo-applications

This is a collection of programs written to use in Konilo.

To make use of them, you will need to import them into your
personal set of blocks. Most will require the basic set of
blocks (0-127) provided with the basic Konilo system to be
loaded. Some may also need optional extensions from the
"konilo-extensions" repository.

Most blocks sets are 16 blocks long. This corresponds to
"pages" in the Konilo `catalogue` program. Some variation
will exist though.

# Importing Blocks

Before attempting this, please make a backup copy of your
blocks.

If not previously loaded in, you can just append them:

    dd if=$BLOCKSET bs=4k >> ilo.blocks

To replace a set, you can do:

    dd if=$BLOCKSET of=ilo.blocks bs=4k seek=$START conv=notrunc

Replacing $BLOCKSET with the filename of the block set to merge
and $START with the first block number to replace.
