Trying to resurrect Spellbinder Word Processor (CP/M-80) - diskdefs needed for HP-125

I am trying to put together some software and docs for the Spellbinder word processor.
I have the generic CP/M software and the Eagle version but not identified any matching doc.
I have discovered that the HP-125 computer had Word/125 which is a version of Spellbinder, and for that I have also found some matching doc. However I have not been able to properly extract the software files from the disk image (freely downloaded from HP Museum)
Does anyone know the process to get the TD0 usable with cpmtools (and have the appropriate diskdefs?) I tried converting td0 to dsk with samdisk utility ,and then tried all my available diskdefs - the 1715 diskdef looks like a good directory but failed on copy of the .com files.
I tried to attach the td0 file here but failed , but the link to the file is :
http://www.hpmuseum.net/software/WORD125.TD0
I was hoping the the hp doc might be a basis to hack a generic guide, coupled with the text in the help files.
It would be good to get this sorted so I can offer it back to one of the archives
Cheers
Richard

Richard,
The process isn't hard, but you need to know a bit about the TD0 file you are going to work with.
The SYDEX Software Teledisk's file can be viewed with any HEX Editor to see if it's Normal (TD) or
Advanced (td) compression by the text in the Header. Byte 5 is supposed to clue you into the version
that created the TD0 file. But, I typically fine 15 in those bytes for Version 1.5. It seems to not display
exactly what it should. For the file you referenced it is Normal Compression and maybe Version 1.5 ???.
John Elliott's libdsk has "dskid" and "dskscan" available to tell you more about the TD0 file. You can
use "man dskid" and "man dskscan". "dskscan -types" and "dskscan -formats" will tell you what formats
are defined in the /home/usr/.libdskrc file. (You can add as many as you want.)q
Here is what I got for your TD0 file:
[code]$ dskid -type tele WORD125.TD0
WORD125.TD0:
Driver: TeleDisk file driver
Sidedness: Alt
Cylinders: 70
Heads: 1
Sectors: 17

Comment: [2006-09-26T16:52:18] WORD/125 FOR HP 120 AND 125 [/code]
Notice that it is 70 tracks, 1 side, 256 bytes per sector, 17 sectors per track, First sector number is ZERO,
it's MFM, and not complemented Data. Right away the 17 sectors per track seem VERY ODD as most are
even numbers for sectors above 10. Creating a dump of the sectors lets you see that a random sector is
missing from the TD0 file. That alerts you to the possibility of a corrupt image because of hardware problems.

So, It appears that this TD0 was read with faulty Hardware. No sector 16 for any Track.
Internet searches for HP software located a second copy named 100-word.td0 (.imd and .bin)

Perhaps this is a good copy, and dskid should be used to verify it's status.

Now you have a starting point for the cpmtools and libdsk definitions.

To process and TD0 file I typically use a batch file in DOSBox, because I run Linux (Debian 11 - 64 Bit).
Imagedisk Ver 1.18 has Utilities to do whatever you need to extract or create an updated file.

----------------------BAD SECTOR (but the Image/DATA we are wanting is OK.)
I modified the RAW file to delete some of the first bytes to move the directory so it started at
Track 2. (cpmtools doesn't like 3 boot tracks and this is an easy work around to get the files)

But, notice that WORD125.com and WELCOME.TBL are ZERO BYTES? This doesn't look good.
It may be a problem with cpmtools or something I've overlooked.
Next step is to create a floppy and see if I can access it with a PC utility or CP/M utility that
supports the HP125.
Do you have a functional HP 125? If so we can get the Directory Parameter Block information
and the result from:

To process and TD0 file I typically use a batch file in DOSBox, because I run Linux (Debian 11 - 64 Bit).
Imagedisk Ver 1.18 has Utilities to do whatever you need to extract or create an updated file.

----------------------BAD SECTOR (but the Image/DATA we are wanting is OK.)
I modified the RAW file to delete some of the first bytes to move the directory so it started at
Track 2. (cpmtools doesn't like 3 boot tracks and this is an easy work around to get the files)

But, notice that WORD125.com and WELCOME.TBL are ZERO BYTES? This doesn't look good.
It may be a problem with cpmtools or something I've overlooked.
Next step is to create a floppy and see if I can access it with a PC utility or CP/M utility that
supports the HP125.
Do you have a functional HP 125? If so we can get the Directory Parameter Block information
and the result from:
STAT A: DSK
STAT B: DSK

Just a few hints:
Look inside the disk image, find the directory, then the data blocks.
You get an overview of the directory and the block size.
The skew also is often visible.
The image uses 1 byte block numbers, so the maximum track number is 66!
Because (67-3)*16*256 leads to 2 byte block numbers.
That CYLINDERS 66 is there for a reason,
so use this diskdef.
diskdef hew1
seclen 256
tracks 66
sectrk 16
lower case filenames.
This are the zero length files. Change them to uppercase with an
hexeditor. Then the cpmtools work.

Martin,
Those files looks to be valid files now, and appear to extract sane. That is quite a coincidence the files
got changed to lower case. (I had overlooked that for about 5 hours.)
THANKS for the tip(s).

While the software itself doesn't run on my vanilla system, I can at least compare the help files between Spellbinder v5.30 and HP to deduce if any features are added or removed, in order to determine which text in their manual is valid to try to cobble together some notes for SB v5.30
In the process I have learnt more about TD0 and IMD etc.
For the WORD125.TD0 I got errors from IMD, but SAMDISK seems to convert to DSK ok, and with Martin's hint to hex edit lower case file names I was then able to use CPMTOOLSGUI to extract files - the HEW1 def didn't work but 1715 seemed to give me something. I am aware that perhaps some files are mangled, but may have sufficient to be useful.
Thank you!

Richard,
I extracted all the files to my Linux box. Then, changed the case to UPPER for file names.
I copied them to my RunCPM environment and the following files execute PIP & STAT
Format executes but says it needs HP125 CPM Environment. One other gives me the same error.
You also need to change this:
