   been working on.   
      
   He already has a working prototype that communicates at 2400 baud using   
   standard terminal program for communication and all RS - 232 signals are

   Program Description:   
      
   The software combines several d64 images of the same physical floppy into   
   one image with less or zero errors.  Error detection is based on the   
   errormap part of d64.

                ARC64 V2.6   
   *************************************   
      
   Arc64 is a small tool to deal with D64, T64, LNX and ZipCode archives.   
      
   It can be used to edit D64 images, run D64 images in the WinVice emulator,   
   run PRG files via CodeNet, convert T64, LNX, PRG, ZipCode, and other   
   formats to D64.   
      
   A key feature is the drag & drop support.  If you drop a D64 image, it will   
   be opened instead of the currently opened D64 image.  If you drop any kind   
   of other file, Arc64 will try to add it to the D64 image.  Formats like   
   T64, LNX and P00 will automatically extract into the D64 image as PRGs.

           CONTIKI BBS V0.2.7.1   
   *************************************   
      
   Released by:  Niels Haedecke   
      
   Contiki BBS is a tiny, little, text based bulletin board system (BBS)   
   server for the Commodore 64 home computer and a compatible Ethernet   
   cartridge (e.g.  TFE, RRnet, 64NIC+).  It will also run in a VICE emulator   
   with Ethernet support enabled.  The BBS itself can be accessed through a   
   standard telnet connection.  Despite a floppy disk drive and the Ethernet   
   cartridge, no further add-on hardware is required (for emulation use VICE   
   with Ethernet support).

   Introduction   
      
   Spindle is an integrated linking, loading, and crunching solution for C64   
   trackmos.  By hiding the details of the storage model, it allows the demo   
   coder to focus on effects, transitions and flow.   
      
   The core of Spindle is a cutting-edge IRQ loader featuring extremely fast   
   scattered loading and decrunching, state of the art serial transfer   
   routines, and GCR decoding on the fly.  On top of this, Spindle provides an   
   optional linking framework that automates much of the tedious work   
   traditionally associated with trackmo development.

   Escape-man '87 by Charles Grey.  Second version of a game originally made   
   in 1987, improved in 2015.  'vidcade games' was what it was named at the   
   time.  Ignore the lame list protect message.  I just learned it from a   
   magazine.   
      
   You have to guide your man through a random "maze" collecting diamonds and   
   avoiding the strange squares.

   This tutorial shows how to capture memory, save it to disk, and manipulate   
   it.  But doesn't discuss bypassing copy protection.  Meant as an entry   
   level tutorial, one can capture single file disk or tape games and save   
   them to disk.  Also covers how to train games for infinite lives, etc.  Not   
   an advanced tutorial, but an introduction to basics.
