atrfs - Atari ATR disk image filesystem tool
Peter Kaczorowski published a tool for accessing and modifying Atari 8-Bit floppy disk images (ATR). This can be very handy for extracting, adding, updating or removing files from ATR images, directly via command line. The tool supports different kinds of Atari file systems and can be integrated in Midnight commander as well.

The functionality of atrfs reminds a bit to Krystone's extremely practical online disk image extractor for the bigger brother, the Atari ST with its ST/MSA-images. A similar browser based tool for visually investigate ATR images can be found here.

While the preference of a graphical or command line interface may be a matter of taste, the command line approach could turn out more sustainable regarding availability on the long term?
