Please excuse this posting because it is my first time. I have both an ibm pc and a commadore 64 and would find it better if I could run my '64 disks on my pc. My question is: Is there any way that I can do this? Please post on the network. Thank you.

As far as running source programs, it will depend on the basic languages involved. For example, all I/O is usually in some way or another machine (i.e. manufacturer) dependent and would need some "massaging". In terms of plain old "disk" software, no since the disks have different formats. But... you can look for "porting" one system to another. In the current journals (I don't have them with me here) are two such articles. One for a commodore <-> radio shack 100 and one for (I think) commodore <-> ibm pc. This is via modems and connecting cables. Hope this answers what you need. astrix (Lou R.
