- DISTRIBUTION
-
- This demo version of A64 may be freely distributed, providing that all files

-
- WHAT IS A64
-
- A64 is a Commodore 64 emulator. The word emulate means "to strive to equal
- or excel, especially through imitation." A64 emulates the Commodore 64.
- This means that using A64 is just like using a real C64.
-
- This disk contains a demo version of A64. This version is fully functional,
- but after approximately 10 minutes it will automatically quit.
-
- The non-demo version of A64 is included with the product "The A64 Package,"
- by QuesTronix. The A64 Package is a hardware and software product that was
- designed to give Amiga owners the ability to access Commodore 64 peripherals,
- programs and data directly from their Amiga. The A64 Package includes the
- following:
-
- o A64, a complete Commodore 64 emulator
- o A Hardware Interface that allows you to connect all C64 compatible
- disk drives and printers to your Amiga, including the 1541, 1571,
- 1581, CMD hard drives and more. The interface plugs into your
- Amiga's parallel port (the Amiga 1000 requires an additional
- adapter cable).
- o A64Tools, an Intuition based file transfer utility that allows you
- to easily copy files between C64 drives and Amiga drives.
- o Several CLI based utilities for performing a number of tasks, like
- transferring files, formatting C64 disks and printing Amiga text
- files to C64 printers.
- o A 104 page printed manual.

- GETTING STARTED
-
- Before running A64 you must first use the Install utility. The Install
- utility will copy some files that are needed by A64 to either your WorkBench
- disk or your SYS: partition of your hard disk. If you do not have a hard
- disk and you do not want to add these files to your normal WorkBench disk
- you should make a copy of your WorkBench and use the copy whenever you want
- to use A64. If you decide to use a copy of your WorkBench make sure you
- reboot your Amiga using the copy before running the Install utility.
-
- To install The A64 Package software use the following procedure:
-
- 1. Insert the A64 disk into any drive.
- 2. Double-click the A64 disk icon to open the disk window.
- 3. Double-click the TAP drawer icon to open the drawer window.
- 4. Double-click the Install icon.
- 5. A window will open and you will be prompted if it is ok to continue.
- Type [Y] to continue. The Install utility will then add the necessary
- files to your WorkBench or SYS: partition of your hard disk.
-
- A64 can be installed on a hard disk by simply dragging the TAP drawer to your
- hard disk, however you must still run the Install utility before running A64.
-
- After running the Install utility you are now ready to run A64.
-
-
- AGA NOTES
-
- Before running A64 on an AGA Amiga (ie. the A1200 and A4000), you should
- disable Mode Promotion and set your Workbench sprite pointer to low res.
- Mode Promotion can be turned on and off with the IPrefs utility and your
- Workbench pointer can be changed to low res with the Pointer Preferences
- utility.
