C64LIST
*************************************
C64List is a Windows command line based tool to aid in cross-development of Commodore 64 software, particularly BASIC software development. It converts
and detokenizes .prg and .p00 files into .txt files so they can be edited
using your text editor of choice on a Windows machine. And it also tokenizes and converts modified text files back into .prg or .p00 files that can be loaded directly into a C64 machine or simulator such as Vice.
C64List also currently has some limited support for disassembling machine language programs; we intend to add more support for this in the future.
C64List was designed and developed by Jeff Hoag

C64 FILE BROWSER
*************************************
Alan Reed has released NAV, a C64 file browser designed for navigating the
uIEC drive and other SD2IEC devices. It also works with the IDE64 (thanks to Schema) and 'real' Commodore drives. NAV lets you navigate up to five drives, reads D64/D71/D81/DNP/M2I disk images, and can be controlled by 1351 mouse, joystick, or keyboard. For more info including screen shots and D64 download, visit Alan's CommodoreServer blog at

"ALAN'S COMMENTS"
Browsing through directories and disks is just point and click! Drives like
the uIEC that can store gigabytes of software can be tedious and frustrating
to navigate. NAV lets you easily work with D64/D71/D81/DNP/M2I disk images as well as "real" Commodore disks and the IDE64. Up to five drives at a time!
COMMODORE FREE: Some love it others hate it, but here is another
release/update to Nav for the Commodore 64 range of machines, written in DOTbasic. Personally I love it!
csdb.dk/release/?id=115764&rss
NAV VERSION .9.6
News from the Blog
The Nav file browser for the C64 gets a big update!
There are so many changes in this version of NAV that I thought I should
create a new blog entry for it. Find it in the Public Disk area here on CommodoreServer, or download it directly HERE.
Some of the changes include:
* More drive icons.
* The font has been improved, directory listings look better.
* NAV now displays the number of files on the disk.
* Lots of bug fixes.
* LOAD and RUN the CHANGES program to read the complete changelog. As before,
type "@help" in NAV to get a full list of features.
* You can now choose from 12 different backgrounds. I copied most of these
tiles from ones used in GEOS (thanks ShadowM).
Unfortunately, NAV still does not work with the Final Cartridge III. Sorry. It seems as though there is a way to temporarily disable the FCIII to allow it to work with NAV... but I can't figure it out... yet. Feel free to drop me a line if you think you can help. Please let me know about bugs, suggestions, etc. Be nice.

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST EVER VINTAGE
COMPUTER FESTIVAL SOUTHEAST
*************************************
The original Vintage Computer Festival was founded by Sellam Ismail and held
in Pleasanton, California during October, 1997. Now, finally, the greater Atlanta area / southeast region of the US gets its very own!
ROSWELL, Georgia - February 4, 2013 - Vintage Computer Festival Southeast - a public celebration of computer history and nostalgia - will be held on
Saturday & Sunday, April 20 & 21. Our mission remains the same as that very first show:
The main mission of the Vintage Computer Festival is to promote the preservation of "obsolete" computers by offering attendees a chance to experience the technologies, people and stories that embody the remarkable
tale of the computer revolution.
We will educate and entertain!
A large premier exhibit will welcome each attendee as they enter the festival
- The Apple Pop-Up Museum which tells the story of how a small start-up company, founded in a garage by two young friends, became the leading consumer electronics and personal computer company in the world. The exhibit displays
an exclusive collection of game-changing Apple personal computers and consumer electronic products while presenting the history of the company since its founding in 1976 to the present. An Apple I, the first disk ][ and controller card, original apple ][, original Lisa and even a Xerox Alto are among the
rare artefacts to be displayed, plus much, much more.
Within the 6,000 square feet of display space that this premier exhibit occupies will be the following rooms: Pre-Apple Room, Apple I Room, apple ][ Room, Turmoil Years Room, No Founders Left Room, Jobs' Come Back Room, Ive's Colours Room, iPod / iPhone / iPad Room, The Timeline Lounge and Apple's Present to the Future Room.
Dozens of exhibitors will be present from all over the region, plus many from other parts of the country. A large variety of historic computers will be represented in the exhibit hall for live demonstrations by their owners.
A vintage game station will be available for children and adults to play classic games on classic computer and game console systems.
Two retrocomputing kit building classes will be held, plus continual, inexpensive introduction to soldering classes.
Many luminous speakers and special presenters are now being scheduled.
The VCFSE is hosted and produced by the Computer Museum of America and the Atlanta Historical Computing Society.
One-day adult tickets to the VCFSE are $10, with a two-day pass for $15. Children ages 17 and younger are admitted free when accompanied by a parent or guardian. For hours, location, and other details, please visit vintage.org/2013/southeast

Hi All,
As my kids grow up I decided to give hem an interest in electronics and
coding, as a back-up to their rather healthy interest in just playing games!
Introducing KodeKLIX and the PUP; a hand-held gaming console.
www.kodeklix.com
The PUP is a simple hand-held console that provides the key elements of a game system - LCD screen, sound and user control - in a handy pocket sized package. It was Winner of the November 2012 PICAXE Project Prize.
The PUP is based around a 20pin PICAXE microcontroller - its amazing what you can do these days with just one chip! The current version uses the 20M2, but the pin assignment have been selected to allow an older 20M or more powerful 20X2 chip to also be used.
Several games have already been coded so far including cut-down clones of
retro classics like Invader
