He should be encouraged, he does very good work. Ditto, this guy should be supported completely. This is one of the finest pieces of shareware I've ever seen, and its obvious a lot of work went into it. Although it doesn't work on processors higher than the 68000, he is promising a version that will. According to the manual, they have a version that will run on an 020 at 100% or better the speed of a C64. He claims that if it was run on an 030 (which they don't have) it would be 200%. I ftp'd the emulator from abcfd20. Get the "thea64package.lzh" file and reconstruct the file structure according to the manual. The "A64.lhw" and "C64*.lhw" files seem to have problems. Both of them gave me errors in several files after unlhwarping. Here is the address in the manual. If you order it directly from QuesTronix, you should probably include some extra bux for the disk. I don't believe it normally comes with the hardware. QuesTronix P.O. Box 340285 Hartford, CT 06134-0285 Again, this guy deserves support! Let's buy him a 3000! -- / (Rotate head 90 degrees for full effect) | BUNGEEEEEEEE! |---------------------------------------------------------------------->=<o \ Pete Ashdown pashdown@esunix ...utah-cs!esunix!pashdown
