CBM-Command v2.1 Release Candidate 1

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 2.1 – 2011-10-28 – Release Candidate 1

This version is intended to replace all prior versions you may have downloaded. Please see release notes for prior versions to get comprehensive list of changes.

New Features:

  • It can detect the formats of Creative Micro Design’s partitions and sd2iec’s disk images.
  • It knows automatically when to create either single-sided (D64) or double-sided (D71) images.
  • CBM 8050 and CBM 8250 (SFD-1001) disk copier.

Changes:

  • A better help file.
  • Fixed batch delete: it can remove many more files in one pass.
  • After a rename, it shows both the new and old names (you can verify that you changed what you wanted to change).
  • It is better at catching and reporting disk/file errors.
  • It is less likely to be jammed by missing drives.
  • It has improved support for RELative files.
  • It copies all of the data in IDE64 files.
  • The panels show the disks’ format codes.
  • The image creater says which image format it plans to make. Now, it tells you before it asks for a file-name (to remind you about which suffix to use in the name).
  • Cleaner VIC-20 screens.

Known Issues:

  • It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
  • It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
  • It can’t create or read images with error-blocks or extended tracks.
  • The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
  • It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
  • Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.
