CBM-Command v2.0 Beta 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 2.0 Beta 1 – 2010-11-25

New Features:

  • REL file copying between devices that support REL files.
  • D71 disk image support – now you can create and write dual sided disk images with a 1571 drive.
  • Configurable Hot Keys – Don’t like the default keys? You can redefine them yourself for version 2.0 using the Configuration program.

Changes:

  • Almost all code optimized for space savings to allow more features.
  • Issuing a drive command is now done on the main screen instead of in a popup box.
  • When renaming a file, the directory remembers where you were so you don’t have to scroll to the newly named file any longer.
  • Changed disk image writes to reposition the buffer pointer in the drive instead of rolling the data in CBM-Command which freed up a buffer and some memory in the main program.
  • Old keyboard shortcuts that required using the C= key now use the SHIFT key instead.

Known Issues:

  • Documentation is way out of date. New documentation is being written but is not yet ready for this release.
  • * Some of the default keys have changed. If you cannot find your old keyboard shortcut then go into the Configuration program and redefine the function as you need. These changes will be documented in the new version of the docs.
