                 EDITORIAL   
   *************************************   
      
   This is quite an exciting issue, and although they seem to be taking more   
   and more time, are still readable and I seem to be receiving a great number   
   of emails asking from new issues and comments about how people enjoyed   
   reading the last XXX issue.  I would like to thank everyone for your kind   
   comments (although I have done so personally by email) and I am glad you   
   are still with us on our Commodore journey.   
      
   This issue then has the usual news and in no particular order we have   
   sneaked alongside "A Comparison of some Common Fast Load" by Wilfred Wells.   
   Lenard Roach goes back to his Growing Pains with part Part Fin, not sure   
   why he stopped naming the 1, 2 , 3, 4 etc but its an interesting read about   
   one man and his Commodore adventures.  We have an interview with Alessandro   
   Abbruzzetti who is the Creator of KERNAL64, although some may say, "Just   
   another emulator," you need to read the interview to find out why this is   
   different from the current batch of emulating systems.  Then another   
   interview, this time with Christian Krenner, the creator of Space Chase For   
   the CBM II.  Not a lot of software was created for this machine and little,   
   if any games.  Not only is this an impressive creation, it's also very   
   playable, even in its current state.  It's a game I am looking forward to   
   reviewing in the not too distant future, of course once the game is fully   
   finished.   
      
   This brings up another point.  Commodore Free doesn't review, preview, or   
   beta software.  I may say that the software is excellent and may point to a   
   final score, but a review isn't made on beta software as the code and   
   indeed game will evolve (change) and so the score will alter.  Once the   
   game is stable and released then a review will be undertaken.  The review   
   period is usually a month with extensive playing!  The reviews are   
   completed on hardware, or if the system is very rare, then I have to resort   
   to emulation if I don't have the physical machine.   
      
   Lenard Roach continues in this issue with what he entitles "Growing Pains   
   Part Quad", continued work on "The Ledger", and I would like to press   
   Lenard to release this series of titles to the community either as freeware   
   or donation ware, as there is still life in these titles.   
      
   Finally, we have an interview with the IDE64 creator Tomas Pribyl.   
   Although this is a reprint of an interview I conducted some time ago for   
   Commodore Scene, many people have asked me to interview Tomas for Commodore   
   Free so I have reprinted the article.   
      
   And that's the end of another magazine.   
      
   As usual help is required for all parts of the magazine either as a one off   
   contribution or a regular columnist   
      
   Thanks for reading   
      
   Regards

       JOYDIVISION JOYSTICK ADAPTER   
   *************************************   
      
   Stefan Blixth has developed a joystick adapter that makes it possible to   
   use an Atari style joystick on an emulator running on a PC.  The adapter is   
   a HID device and does not need to use a special driver but should be picked   
   up by the operating system.   
      
   There is also a PCB-layout if you want to build the adaptor yourself.
