vprg-4.1-win32.zip

WAV-PRG is a program for converting Commodore 64 tapes to PC and back.

It is designed so it doesn't require any custom-built cables: transfers between PC and tape are done by means of a tape player/recorder connected
to the PC's sound card by a standard audio cable.

THE REAL VIC-20 PROTOTYPE
*************************************

The website says:

You'll note in the photo that the Vic-20 prototype is styled similarly to
the original Commodore PET from 1977, complete with funky calculator-style keyboard. Naturally, upon its actual retail release, the Vic-20 would
receive its own, larger case, the iconic "breadbox" design and a full
stroke keyboard, both of which would also be found in the best selling Commodore 64 just a few years later (and similarly found on all PET
computers after the original models).
