- Considering my 64 isn't even set up anymore this is probably a foolish
- thing to say.. but here goes: I'm interested. Let me know what 'nearly'
- finished means. Also I'd really like to see the completion of it become
- a comp.sys.cbm project (since I probably lack the enthusiasm to finish
- it myself).
-
- Here's what I'm proposing:
-
- There are several 'good' (or should that be 'excellent') C64 coders who
- read this group. There is also a fairly large interest in having Zmodem
- available for the 64. I'm willing to donate time and effort (experience)
- to complete the zmodem code, is anyone else? Are there any suggestions
- as to how we can organize a group hack on the code? I feel confident
- I can write pretty well any module from spec, or better still that I
- should be able to integrate various peoples modules into a single entity.
-
- If a plan like this were followed we could have a (rather large) discussion
- here in comp.sys.cbm about the current work on the protocol, what remains
- to be done, and who will take care of what. Then the code would be
- written and then one person would integrate the various bits and pieces.
