Thanks for forwarding, Kirk!
 
As for fastload routines, there are none.  If you are having a problem as 
such with the program, I would suggest answering 'n' to the "Dearcing to 
a 1541 or 1571?" query in the de-arcer.  This is the only time QWKie does 
anything "non-standard" to the drive (changes the interleave).
 
The only purpose served by changing the interleave is to speed up the 
scanning routine when you first read a mail packet.
 
QWKie was developed with an Epyx Fastload installed the whole time.  
Since adding REU support while currently developing v2.0, this has 
obviously changed.  No scan time necessary.  Stay tuned for the next 
release (you too, Gordon!!).

This is what I was actually looking for. I have Mapping the 64, which lists all

Twin Cities 128/64 will do what you want, and the catalog section of RUN
is still available under the heading of TECHMEDIA PRODUCTS (trying to
find the catalog I JUST got in the mail).  User groups and COMPUTE
Gazette may be your only other avenue, besides the nets of course.
There are two magazines that are BBS specific, BOARDWATCH, and 
ONLINE ACCESS, but note that they are PC systems oriented.

Sounds like maybe your head is pushed forward too far.. If you still have that little cardboard thing that came with you '41, stick it in and pull it out and try again.. If that doesn't help, or you don't have that cardboard thing, open the drive and manually (SLOWLY!) push the drive head to about the middle.  Then put in a disk, issue the "i" command, and try again...

Keywords: Want to learn more about Power C for the C64.
Date: 30 Dec 92 13:52:53 GMT
Organization: Georgia Institute of Technology


  While home from school, I dug out my old C64 and played around a bit. It
just so happens that I had a C compiler that I purchased for about $5.00 at
Electronics Boutique a few years ago called Power C by Spinaker Software.

Has anyone else used this package. It seems pretty nice. It has a SHELL program
that turns the C64 into a UNIX like developement environment. The compiler 
seems to make some decent code and runs fairly fast. There are both C64 and 128
versions inclded in the package. I recomend it to anyone trying to learn a
little C (like myself) and would like to do it on the 64.

There are a couple of things that I'm having problems with though....

1) If I load the CED editor, enter a program, then go back to the shell and
compile it, when I try to load up the linker, the disk spins and the system 
just sits there. If I do a cold boot, load up the shell, then immediately
load up the linker, it works fine. I have an EPYX Fastload cartidge on my 
system.....

2) I can't seem to figure out what switch to use in the printf function to 
cause force a newline. In normal C it's \n, but as we all know, the c64 doesn't
have a \ key! Any ideas?

3) The documentation REALLY SUCKS! It's just a little 30 page booklet that
doesn't seem to have any usefull information in it. It only has the function
key definitions, the editor commands, shell commands, and REALLY sketchy 
descriptions of the function libraries.....

Well, just thought I'd share this all with you. I am glad to be able to still 
use my C64 for some worthwhile adventuring in the land of programming. Too
bad I have to leave it in a few days to return to school and my Amiga......

I presume when you say UPLOADING you are actually sending from the buffer,
since that is the only time that type of problemw will occur.  You need to
go to the phonebook entry for that particular BBS and change your
TRANSFER EOF to CR/LF to keep your overtyping from happening.

Uploading and sending from buffer are two very different animals.  If
you UPLOAD (ALT S), the file gets sent intact as you received it.
If you transfer from buffer (ALT C, then ALT +) and have not changed
your TRANSMIT EOF, then, yes, you will have the same problem.

There was a message on the FIDONet stating that some issues were not

You need an REU to create .SFX files, which are described in the LHARC 
file docs. You won't find SDA in there, because those are a different
file created with a different utility.
Check the info on LHA with the -S switch in the docs.

  What about Tenex?  I think they sell it in both Cartridge and Disk form.
Get the Cartridge... the disk access is killer but it has a GREAT intro,
nice music, and decent gameplay..  one of the better C64 games of late.

  I wonder if the rumors that Wing Commander is coming to the c64 via
cartridge are true?

Hello All!
This is the runner of the cbm ftp site at cwaves.stfx.ca.
I have some news:
1) we have approval for 56.6 Kbaud net connection which will be implemented
next year.  This is great news as currently all data goes over a 9600
baud line.
2) the site is up and running fine with new uploads:
first, an emulators section where there is a C64 emulator which runs
on an IBM PC, and requires Hercules graphics.  There is documentation in
German which I have given to several people to translate and hope to
have english docs supplied soon.
Also there is a verion for the Amiga which I have to put up soon.  This
is a very nice and fast emulator and even multitasks, does rasters sound
and sprites.
3) Some new files: zmodem for the 64!  2400bps source code (replaces
kernal routy)! Blackice demo screen has solid filled 3d vectors etc.!
Lots of new files and lots of the good files from other ftp sites.
4) coder may want to check the /pub/text section for some interesting
docs.  I have routines in C and Pascal to implement CORDIC, a method
to computer transcenentals (that is, sine/cosine/tan/log/exp) in a very
fast algorithm which uses only integers, shifts and adds.
The x/y modem specifications
IFF format.. TIFF specs.. etc.
Also in the 64 section.. a program for the Amiga, which converts PPM
picture files to FLI 64 pictures.  PPM is a public domain set of
utilities for image processing and conversion.
Also some example FLI pics I converted to GIF format (for viewing on
IBM Amiga Mac etc).
I actually did have an IRCbot set up to work as a file server but I'm
recoding that.  Hope to see 64 bot on IRC in channel #c-64.
Can anyone point me to a mail file server?  I would like to open up
the site that way as well.
All contacts I have talked to about coding please contact me and also
feel free to upload anything to this site (except commerical games).

Most problems with relative files are cured by making sure you set the 
record position "p" before and after every read or write... perhaps this 
will aid you.

Hmmm, your message shows how COMPUTE shot themselves in the foot.  They still
have the GAZETTE edition, that we are finding out is available on some
LIMITED newsstands, but otherwise is only available by subscription, which
is currently $9.97.  That is going up next month to about $12.  Get an issue
of COMPUTER, and call the subscription department. Make sure you specify
STRONGLY the 64/128 issue, or the multi edition.  If you get the wrong issue
the first time out without the GAZETTE section, call them back and they will 
adjust your subscription accordingly.
Twin Cities 128 is going to combine a Twin Cities 64 to become one magazine
that covers both computers.  There are additional newsletters, as well
as user groups available.  
I am waiting on one address and will post info on two by mail user
groups as well as my home group which has associate memberships for those
peopele that can't make monthly meetings in Ohio. heh, heh.

A big THANK YOU to the chap who put the x1541.exe program on the system.
(GHIELMET@eldi.epfl.ch)  I have successfully made up the cable and have
the program running - 2 way copies from 1541 to IBM! And the program is
very nicely mouse driven and professional. Am still working out all it's
features and how to drive it correctly (e.g. all files seem to become
prg type), but it works and is a wee beauty! So far I have only tried a 1541
but see mention of 1581 - maybe it supports 1571 and fast serial mode, too?

Now my PC with a 1541 on top is almost respectable!

Cheers - Kirk
