- Hi Cameron -
-
- I got the worms d64 file. I'm trying to use it with my Mac64 emulator. The
- D64 file has these files in it -
-
- Worms, EA, Demo.wrm, val.wrm, and kmds.wrm
-
- When I load the Worms file, and run it, I get a syntax error message. I
- guess it might be a problem with the emulator.
-
- I recently got a real C=64 with a 1541 drive, but I have no way to
- transfer the file between my mac and the '64.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
