Neato

Many improvements, including:

• much improved setup utility
• bootctl boot parameters for choosing 40/80 columns and c64mode
• added assembler.128
• added command . to kmon for sourcing text files
• bootloader128 more beautiful and hopefully faster
• command line args from c128 mode passed through autostart64
• added cpm+.d81 CP/M install disk
• added basic runners for kmon and pip to run the appropriate version
• cpm+.prg patched to boot from ram disk (M:)

C128

Many improvements:

• c128 versions of kmon and pip
• new BRK handler in bootsect.128 for c128 mode which automatically starts c64 programs in c64 mode
• now you can just RUN "PROGRAM" in c128 mode and it will run in the appropriate mode.
• new vdc64 program to use VDC chip in C128 in C64 mode, providing support for 80 columns
• convert from and to trigrams in kmon (#)
• improved directory layout and build process
• pip interactive and ASCII/ANSI mode

RUN!

• base conversions work now
• r : run command for loading and running programs
• b : boot command for rebooting and autostarting programs
• quoted arguments supported for r and b commands
• better color handling. color can now optionally be set from bootsect.128
• added new patch64 program which copies ROM to RAM and applies some patches
• added new pip program which will copy and print files

VARTAB

Now some pointers are set prior to running basic program. This improves compatibility with more software.

Beautiful boot screen

Boot program has been changed to show less garbage on screen while switching to c64 mode, making booting look a bit neater. The second bootblock now loads at $0C00 and therefore tends to stick around a bit longer than if loaded directly into screen memory at $0400. Now you can SYS3072 to switch to c64 mode and run the program.

Also, code has been cleaned up and now uses more common labels for well known addresses.

Initial release

This is initial release of the loader. It seems to work fine in many cases!
