  1.            ASSEMBLY '96: INFO ABOUT C64 CONTRIBUTIONS & RESULTS
  2.            ----------------------------------------------------
  3.  
  4.  
  5. I'm extremely proud to present you with all the C64 contributions released
  6.  at the greatest party in the world so far - Assembly '96, that is - which
  7.       was held in Helsinki, Finland from 16th to 18th of August 1996.
  8.  
  9. Many quality demos got released this year, proving that C64 scene isn't even
  10.  close to dying yet. The effects seen in today's C64 demos even beat some
  11.  of those seen on Amiga or PC! OK, maybe the demos aren't audiovisually as
  12.  impressive, but do remember to compare the CPU clock frequency, the price
  13. and age of the equipment and the effects achieved! Just watch C64 democoders
  14. always pushing back the limits on their 6510 CPU (From year 1975) running at
  15.        less than one full MHz (980 KHz)! This is the _REAL_ spirit!
  16.  
  17.  
  18.     Here are the results of the C64 competitions held at Assembly '96:

  95.  
  96.  
  97.                                 FILE TYPES:
  98.                                 -----------
  99.  
  100.              .LNX suffix = LyNXed file. Files have just been joined
  101.                            together without compression. A bit like LhA
  102.                            with "do not compress files" mode on. Use Lynx
  103.                            to extract these files (I recommend The
  104.                            Ultimate Lynx 3).
  105.  
  106. 1!, 2!, 3! & 4! prefixes = Zip-Coded disk side. One diskside has been
  107.                            packed to four separate files. A bit like DMS
  108.                            on the Amiga, but much more inefficient packing
  109.                            ratio due to RLE compression. Use Zip-Code
  110.                            Disk Unpack to decompress these files.
  111.                            If you're an emulator user, you might want to
  112.                            convert the zip-codes to D64 images.
  113.  
  114.  (Both The Ultimate Lynx 3 and Zip-Code Disk Unpack are available at least
  115.  from The Sharks IRC file server Sharkbite. (These files are also available
  116.       via WWW at http://stekt.oulu.fi/~mysti/the_sharks/online.html))
  117.  
  118.  
  119.   How to transfer the files to a real C64? It depends. If you're an Amiga
  120.   owner, the archive PDATA352.LHA - or better say it's contents - in this
  121.    very directory will be extremely useful to you. On the other hand, if
  122.  you're a PC user, you'll most likely need a RS-232 adapter for your C64.
  123.   After that, it's just the matter of using a combination of two terminal
  124.   programs and a null modem cable. In both cases, I suggest you to take a
  125.                        look at the PData archive...
  126.
