 Re: CBM-Command V2.3 Released

it is different on my plus4 screen, from the youtube url. But I think it just the config file is different.
But I can't display two drive list in same time on my plus4 (Cursor left-right not work for me) Just One panel is displayed.
And I can select a file (space is make selected filename) But I can't copy too.
How do I open 2nd panel?

You use the SHIFT-D key combination to open the drive selector for the second window. The YouTube video shows the C64 colors, on the Plus/4 the default colors are different.

IMHO it is the most useful program. How to copy files without it?

[edit]
I have to add that this program has very good sequential file reader.

However I have also to write about several problems.

1) It is very slow. It is slow even with the emulator's 700% speed. Why to reread a directory so often? 24K is enough for table with 1000 directory entries - it is more than two D81 disks! The Plus/4's version may try to find this 24K or even more and to read all directories to RAM. ;-) I can add that '+' and '-' commands reread directory even in the case when they show the same files. :-(

2) What is the new horizontal panels for Plus/4 for? They leave much of empty space on screen and show less files. :-(

3) Version 2.3 has became incompatible with plus4emu when it emulates disk over directory. Version 2.1 works with this emulator in this mode. BTW yape and Forever_Plus4_Emulator (+4forever?) work fine in this mode with new version of CBM Command.

4) How to get Shift-^ at Plus/4? It is shifted 0!

IMHO the vertical panels should be default for Plus/4...

5) Why Plus/4 version is without timing support? Plus/4 has 3 hardware timers and ROM raster based timing subroutine...

The config program does not allow multiple key config, i.e.
enabling the f1, f2 etc.. for me.


I want to set the configuration to the same as norton commander, but these keys are not allowed ..

Persze nem lehet mindent..

(i am learning the default config) happy

But it is a good program!
