From: Payton Byrd on 26 May 2010 22:53 The official release of CBM-Command is here! I want to thank all the folks who've tested, supported and critiqued the project; you have all made it better. Please see the website at http://cbmcommand.codeplex.com for downloads and release notes. There are no new features over the beta, but I have cleaned up the display of the screen so that more of the filenames can be seen. Thanks, Payton

CBM-Command would have been very much appreciated back in the 1980's by folks like me who were big fans of text-based MS-DOS command shells like Kevin Bourbaki's 1Dirplus, and who also enjoyed the C64. It is never too late... Well done! Regards, Bill
From: Jerry Kurtz on 27 May 2010 08:30 I've only now taken a peek via VICE and this does seem to be a nice tool. I'll want to give it a shot on real hardware sometime -- especially if it's useful for copying files between a CMD HD and an uIEC :) A couple of things though -- it would be nice to see the number of files/blocks selected. Also, maybe it's just VICE, but there seems to be a lot of screen flashing. For example, when I toggle the selected state of a file, the entire directory window flashes (redrawn). Also, when cursoring up/down the list of files, the bar across the top flashes instead of just updating. Again, maybe that's just VICE? This could prove useful as a cartridge. I may have to see if it works on my EasyFlash... Jerry

With just a very few exceptions, the same code runs in both 128 and 64 mode. To do that required using the CONIO library of cc65 which does not do any tricks such as double-buffering which could have eliminated the flicker.

I gave it a try with my 1541-U and 1581 (both using JiffyDOS). Seems to work as expected. But I couldn't figure out how to use the text file viewer mentioned on the web site. -- -Brandon http://www.brandonstaggs.com/c64.html |
