*** README about development-tools used to create SID-Wizard v1 ***
===================================================================

OS: I mainly used Puppy Linux, then Lubuntu (and Windows on some rare occasions)

IDE: Geany 0.20 (with extra filedefs,charset and c64 settings, see this folder) 
     comment: copy 'filetypes.asm' to 'filedefs' folder of Geany, 
     and copy CBM-64.TTF charset to 'fonts' folder of your OS for better look.
     There's also a 'Geany.conf' file and a 'filetypes.common' config file, they
     contain some reversed color-scheme data for C64-tass like display,
     to reduce eye-strain. The config-files are made in older Geany versions but
     don't seem to cause issues in newer Geany. Check out the screenshot to see
     how my IDE looks like when I cross-code C64 programs.

     In Linux I use these setting in 'Build/Set Build Commands' menu of Geany:
     1st Row button text is 'Compile' (without ahostrophes of course), command:
     64tass "%f" -o "%e.prg" | x64 "%e.prg"
     (Windows is another story. You might have to create a batch file for it...)

Compiler: 64tass V1.46 R38 (linux and windows binary versions)
    Original written for DOS by Marek Matula of Taboo, then ported to ansi C by 
    BigFoot/Breeze, and finally added 65816 support, CPU64, DTV,illegal opcodes,
    optimizations, multi pass compile and a lot of features by Soci/Singular.
    For the C code of the converter I used gcc in build-essential package.
    For the microcontroller assembly I used gpasm under Linux.

Testing: VICE 2.2  (The Versalite Commodore Emulator)
         (with a fastloader cartridge image for faster startups) 

Graphics: SPRedit 1.0 (my own tool, can be found at Sourceforge.net and CSDB)
 (Fonts were created with a C64 font editor, but I don't remember its name.)

Compressor: Exomizer 2.07 by Magnus Lind
