The aim of the A8CAS project is to create software to read, save and archive tapes for Atari 8-bit computers.
Early Atari computers could store their programs on Compact Cassettes. Lots of commercial software was also sold on tapes. Some of the tapes employed different tricks to prevent creating illegal copies. A8CAS aims to correctly read and write all such tapes.
A8CAS is inspired by existing utilities, Ernest R. Schreurs’ WAV2CAS and CAS2WAV. Schreurs’ tools however did not support tapes with non-standard data (copy prevention mechanisms), and reading tapes from audio files was very unreliable. A8CAS addresses both of those issues. A8CAS now provides a superset of WAV2CAS’ features.
A8CAS consists of:
A shared library, liba8cas, that contains all routines needed to read and write cassettes (support for CAS, HEX, FSK and sound files WAV, OGG, FLAC etc. is implemented). The library can be used in emulators and drivers for SIO interfaces such as SIO2PC; a set of command-line tools, a8cas-tools, that contains a8cas-convert, a utility similar to WAV2CAS/CAS2WAV. The tools use the A8CAS library; a patch for the Atari800 emulator, that allows to load and save tape files (CAS, HEX, WAV, OGG, …) using liba8cas.
Changelog:
Liba8cas:
- Added the A8CAS_flush() function to API, which ends any chunk being written and writes data from buffers to disk.
- Fixed the inability to adjust stop bit length tolerance during recognition of data blocks. It was hardcoded at 0.25, now it uses the value of the A8CAS_PARAM_BLOCK_HEADER_DEVIATION parameter.
- Fixed crashes when setting A8CAS_PARAM_BLOCK_HEADER_LENGTH lower than 20.
A8cas-tools:
- Fixed a bug in a8cas-convert. When user provided an invalid value to a command-line parameter, the program silently ignored the parameter instead of warning the user

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 / PET 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/PET have their own native version of the application.
Release Notes – Version 2.2 – 2013-04-16 – RC2
New Features:
- Provides Side-By-Side panels or Top-And-Bottom panels on 40-column systems.
- Batch disk image creation.
- User can select drive or partition number.
- The disks have a little BASIC-language program that can update your configuration files.
Updates from RC1:
- The help file explains how to use a new feature of the configuration utility.
- The configuration-file updater adds another configurable key to your personal configurations.
- The D80 image was rebuilt, in order to work around a VICE bug.
Known Issues:
- It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
- It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
- 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.

HermIRES it’s a cross-platform hires bitmap (Art Studio 1 format) editor for the Commodore 64.
The format has some restrictions, here are the rules:
- The maximal resolution of the picture is 320×200
- Only 16 fix C64 colours can be used (no gradient either)
- In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
- On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.
Changelog:
- Gave 45 pixel taskbar-height for GUI-size auto-detector (more tolerance)
- LoadVPL() is now before LoadFile() in ‘main’ (by commandline-argument or from config-setting) so opening .png/.bmp at startup is converted correctly with the latest palette.
- Caption name now doesn’t contain the extra letter at the end (string-delimiter 0 was put in wrong place by loop)
