No, I was only referring to the SLIP demo by Daniel Dallmann.
TO my knowledge (and I've saw the C=Scape thread), no such beast
exists for the 64.

Maurice Randall, I, and Daniel Dallmann are all working on stuff that might
end up being a browser, and Maurice is probably farthest along, as he
is working on the WAVE, but it's just a term prg at present.

I've got my old SLIP code around here somewhere, and Daniel's has his (that
is more complete) on the WWW site linked of the CBMLINKS site:

http://www.msen.com/~brain/cbmlinks/

BTW, as an FYI, I have been working on automating the CBMLINKS site.
The old site is updated manually, making it hard to maintain.  ALso,
I wanted to give users the option of including or not including
graphics, tables, or comments.  So, the new automated system will
handle that.

No URL yet, as it's too fragile. However, if people would like to help add URLs
and beta test it, send me email.

Yikes!  You mean there are still serveces that'll let you go that slow?

For no real reason, other than to make sure it can be done, I logged on
to two of my ISP's the other night on the old C64 with the old 300 baud
Master Modem and vt 100 emulator. Workd fine, though screen refreshes were
a little slow and 40 col. screen was a bit hard to follow. Read some email
with no problem. IRC was a bit hard to take though. <g>

In the future, I'll not only be doing that, but much more. But patience,
I'm only one man.

Besides, people on the net have to act like they care in reasonable
numbers, to make it worth doing tons more work. I posted a message weeks
ago, saying I was working on a Vic20 FAQ, and not one person responded. So
it will get done, but only in back-burner mode now... other projects come
first.

I'm not the only person alive, who is capable of doing hard work or
research, so come on and add to what I've done, folks!

Later...

Does anyone out there know of a Dir/Editor useable with the FD2000 drive
in its 1.6meg High Density disk mode?  The 1581/and-or/Maverick dir eds
will not work with the drive in HD mode.  It will read the Directory
in the Mav version of dir/editor, but cannot manipulate or write a
revised dir back to the HD 1.6 meg formatted disk.  If someone hasnt
done it we need one by CMD thats would let us mark off various type
data stored on the disk with seperator bars (lines).

The only one I remember is a sys to a memory location.
In immediate mode on a 128 (in 40 or 80 column), type:
sys32800,123,45,6  and hit the Return key.

It should work without any modifications. Some Commodore and
compatible supplies (I have a repairable one in fromt of me) came with
the 7 pin DIN plug. Only four of the pins are actually used, but since
the socket on the C-64 is a 7 pin DIN anyway, it should fit right in.

I am not sure if there is enough of an audience out there for this, but I
am asking if anyone is interested in chatting in IRC in the CHannel #C64?
Or perhaps there is a Group that already meets on a regular basis?

If not, I am a regular user of IRC and will be on Undernet in the #C64 room
every Friday night from 8-9pm if anyone wants to chat. If you access IRC
chat through a PC using MIRC, we can trade software. (no pirated stuff!)

Ward, I care.  But sometimes we're all buzy and read the posts but don't have
the time to
reply.  I'm very interested in a Vic20 FAQ.

 =============================================================================
 The above prices DO NOT include shipping. I'm in California. Depending on
 how far away you are, how many items you want, if they have boxes, and how
 heavy everything is, the shipping cost usually ranges from $3 to $8 UPS or
 priority US mail. I don't have time to deal with lots of small transactions,
 so I need to ask a minimum of $15 worth of items. If you are interested in
 buying a lot of stuff at once, I will try to make you a deal on the shipping.
 In general, a few pieces of software cost $4 or $5 to ship. Leaving out the
 boxes will often significantly reduce the shipping cost.

 I will only ship within the UNITED STATES and to CANADA.

 Thank you,
  Randall

Yes, I have that old program - a 24 block program called, appropriately,
"lcp hotel".  It evicts the old LCP.  You sit and watch after re-running
the game, and a new tenant arrives with suitcase, and eventually a new
dog.  There are many variations of hair color, dog color, etc.  There is a
list of more than a 100 different LCP names that can be randomly generated.
