In regards to the Kernel routines:
When I sold my C-64 I gave the Programmer's Reference Guide (PRG) away,
so I cannot post them. But the PRG gives a decent description of all
the routines, as well as quite a few helpful examples as to how to use
them. I found it very helpful in other regards, too. If you don't
already have one, I strongly recommend getting one. I got mine at the
same store as I got the C-64, for about $10 US. Probably it is cheaper
now. You could probably get Commodore to send you a copy if you contact
them and ask them about it. I'm not sure how they handle such things,
but all my connections with them have been profitable. Like the PRG, I
don't have USnail address or phone#, but it would be somewhere in your
documentation of the computer anyway (the warantee is a good start). If
you still have trouble getting one, email me at the first location
below and I'll get the routines for you and email them back, as well as
anything I can find out about getting a PRG.
In the PRG there are also some good memory-maps that you can experiment
with. Enjoyable and certainly profitable.
Also: Don't forget that CHROUT uses PET ASCII. If anyone can give me
a good reason why CBM insisted on a weird character set, tell
me. I want to know.
In case you're wondering why someone would be on here after he sold
his C-64, it's because I still dabble in it occasionally and am the
local reference for it in my neighborhood. Cheers.
