BITFIRE V0.1
*************************************

The group Oxyron has released
Bitfire. It's as the readme file
says:

A fixed interleave loadersystem with
depacker and an image writing tool.
Aim was to make the loader as fast as
possible while being as tiny as
possible. So at some points size and
speed had to be traded against each
other. An own, however d64-compatible
(bam copy is sufficient), file format
is introduced to make the code less
complex and loading faster. Also,
functions that are not used regularly
(like turn disk detection) are
available as statically linkable
functions and thus make the resident
part on c64 side even smaller. Being
that tiny ($99 to $200 bytes,
depending on configuration) and still
fast makes it perfect for being used
in demos. The imaging-tool creates
diskimages with all demofiles and a
dirart on it. Also, it is accompanied
by an lz-packer based on doynamite,
however smaller in code and a bit
faster than that, while yielding
nearly the same results.

PLAYIT64 V0.9 RELEASED
*************************************

PlayIt64 is a tool to generate an
executable .PRG file from a .SID
file. First the PSID header is
analysed to get information needed to
build an interrupt player routine and
displaying some data on the screen.
Then the header is cut off and the
tune data relocated to $0EB0 in order
to achieve reasonably small files, 6
or 7 blocks larger than music data.
PlayIt is meant for PAL systems only
and adjusts NTSC tunes to the right
speed.
