This is some brief notes on the 64NET Demo release.

The pinout for the cable is:

	Userport	PC Printer port
	-------------------------------
	A (GND)		25 (GND)
	C (pb0)		10 (an input line)
	D (pb1)		11 (an input line)
	E (pb2)		12 (an input line)
	F (pb3)		5 (data bit 3)
	G (pb4)		6 (data bit 4)
	H (pb5)		7 (data bit 5)
	I (pb6)		8 (data bit 6)
	J (pb7)		9 (data bit 7)

It will only look for a C64/C128 on LPT1 (port $378)

The PC software MUST be run before the C64 software.

The PC software should be placed into a subdirectory called \64NET, ie from the
root directory.

The PC software is run by typing 64NET-PD
When it is scanning then the c64 software (64NET-PD.64) may be run.

*** The software has a few quite pronounced bugs ***
I had to rush it this morning to get it onto the net before my break from uni.
If the PC hangs (ie the num lock led will nolonger change when you press the num
lock key is a good test) reset and try again.

**** Whats in and whats not?
	SAVING is out
	LOADING is in (6 blocks or less though)
	OPEN is in (for command channel only)
	INI parsing is in
	BURST-LOADING is out

Here are some things to try:

	LOAD"$:/*,*
	(not you dont need a ,8 or end quote if you dont want to :)
	This will display ALL files in the root directory of the drive 64NET is
on.
	

	LOAD"NETWORK STATUS

	LOAD"USER STATUS

	LOAD"DOS STATUS

	LOAD"MON
	This is an off board disassember.  Disk commands may be given by
	@command
	X or Q will exit from it.
	A to assemble,
	D to disassemble,
	M to view memory in block format,
	I to view memory as ascii,
	F to fill,
	H to search memory (if your really lucky!!)

	LOAD"HELP
	Get the online help system, self explanatory from there.
	The help service is VERY FAR FROM COMPLETE, there are only about 
	6 man pages in it.
	
Ok, now also included in the PC archive are a few other utilities:

	C64DMON a bodgey X-Tree style sort of thing for the virtual file system.
	64DIR do a directory showing .C64 files a bit better :)
	DEHEADER (?) convert .C64 files to raw 64 format.

	Anything else is pot luck.

	There are several (quite a few) c64 proggies included to play with (the
 first 6 blocks any way)

	The C64DMON has a basic listing exporter for the really keen types.

Really important:

	1) I __WILL-NOT__ be on the internet for the next two weeks
(begining 16/4/94) as it is mid-semester break.  All requests for info, and
bug reports etc.. will have to be sent to me directly for those who want some
sort of promptish reply.
	This is where you CAN contact me during this time:

Voice:	   +61 8 2777479
BBS:	   +61 8 2771361 (answer all questions ofr instant d/l access)
Snailnet:  Paul_Gardner-Stephen@1_Hurst_St.Morphettvile_5043.SA_Australia

OR you can contact anyone who you think might be able to pass the info along.


	2)This is a DEMO of a PRE-RELEASE BETA version of a product!!!!
It works to AN EXTENT, it is full of bugs (lots!).  I take no responsibility for
what it may do to you, your computer(s), your life, family or anything else.
If you blow your compys up with the cable you fail to make correctly, or even if
you do make it correctly , it is not my fault.
	This system is guaranteed to do nothing, not even take up disk space
properly!!  The finished version, on the other hand is nice and stable.
