We released our C64-asm-editor Relaunch64. This windows-based editor works together with common crossassemblers like acme, dasm, c64asm etc. and makes it very easy to code in asm.

Currently only the german version is available, but we’re working on an english translation and will hopefully release it soon. For more infos on this programm, screenshots and so on
go and visit www.koolpeople.de.

A german sample-file is also available for download, which makes it a bit easier to get used to the editor and learn the powerful functions. This program is freeware!

Due to recent abuse of our ftp by warez kidz (we?ve survived 4 years with liberal upload policy but this internet is going downhill these days) we?ve changed the upload rules.

You can still upload your files to /incoming directory but the files will be no longer readable, it?s a write-only. They will be moved to "/incoming-readable" directory after verification and this will be the "read-only" directory.

I hope you will accept that. We really have no other choice.

On the other hand we are looking for dedicated maintainers for the site. If you are interested and would like to take care of any part of the site, please let me know.

Version 1.1.2 of the cross platform C64 cruncher Exomizer has been released. The release includes dos, linux and win32 executables, decruncher assembler source code and full source code for the Exomizer itself. Highlights of the changes since v1.1.1 are: It now includes two different stream decrunchers with example sourcecode. It has a new option to skip the decrunch effect. Finally there is also a new tool included that preprocesses basic programs so they will cunch easier and better. For a complete list of changes see the included changelog.txt file.

Especially for the Retro Replay and the C-One ( www.c64upgra.de/c-one ) there will a networking card for the C64 before the end of this summer. Together with Adam Dunkels, the author of the web-enabled Contiki ( dunkels.com/adam/contiki/ ) operating system, the first drivers for this 10MBit-card have been made. Contiki even has web-server functions that can be seen on the internet: The server www.tfe.c64.org is running on a stock C64 with a similar networking card! RR-Net will be available in August 2003 for 50,- EUR.

Also this year www.forum-64.de organizes a (Forum)-logo competition again, to look for the most beautiful logo for our board.

The competition starts on 1.6.2003 and ends on 6.9.2003 on the Classic Computing.
The rules are very simple: Everything is permitted, the graficformat should Jpg, the size 800*120 pixel. Other formats, which are sent in, should be convertable.
Please no animated GIF or Flashs.

Special prizes were expenditure-praised:

1st place: 1 x C64 II + 1541 II

2nd place: 1 x 1541 I or alternatively "C64 internal" book (Data Becker, German language, 4th edition)

3rd place: 1 x Dela II Eprommer (new, original packed)

4th place: 1 x Final Cardridge III

The prizes are spent starting from a participation of more than 15 users.

So that everything happens with right things, those will co-ordinate user of the forum 64 together. Each user has 1 voice. Delivery of the prizes takes place on 6.9. on the Classic Computing, alternatively post office dispatch (only in Germany, outside Germany + shipping). Each participant can send maximally 3 in logos (it is however possible to withdraw logos already sent in). To the legal one: With the entry of the logos you give up all rights at the logo, i.e. puts the logo at the free disposal, it in the Forum-64 (or sites, which have to do directly with the forum) is so long used. It is permitted, parts, or whole pictures, on the sides the Forum-64.de and Doc64.de are to use. Please send your logo(s) to: Logowettbewerb@forum-64.de

PS: The Forum is in German language, but you can write in English too.
