    From Robert Bernardo@3:770/3 to All on Fri May 19 00:09:39 2023
    C64 OS v1.03 has been released and now has support for the scroll wheel on a mouse connected through a MicroMys/MouSTer and support for mounting .D64, .D71, and .D81 files. You can update the earlier version(s) of the OS by going to the download page at

    https://c64os.com/c64os/softwareupdates/

    Note: To update v1.0 to the latest update, you must first run the v1.01 update, then run the v1.02 update, and then run the last update.

    C64OS gets better and better! Version 1.04 has been released, the Multimedia Release. In this version, there is a new graphics file format called “Commodore Grafix” which has support for metadata, variable frame rate sizes, native/non-native video
    modes, multi-frame matrix images, including 3D models, panoramas, and animation sequences. There are the new and/or improved Creator Tool and C64 Archiver, and the new SID Preview Utility with a SID Search Service. Finally, the gfx.lib supports
    character-mode graphics. (Some new features only available with the use of a RAM expander) Whew!

    Check out the more complete descriptions of C64OS v1.04 and short videos of the Multimedia Release at

    P.S. Remember… to upgrade to v1.04, you must have upgraded to the previous versions, v1.00 to v1.03, in order. See https://c64os.com/c64os/softwareupdates

    There are separate term programs for the C64. Or do you mean that there should be a term program built into C64OS?

    Yes I use CCS for connect on an Italian BBS.with my C64C.

    What I mean is that a new OS for the C64 without the capabilities to connect directly online is almost a "closed system".

    Ah, you mean like GEOS had GeoTerm (and now the newer geoCBMTerm).

    This is not an OS, it does replace the old OS. It boots over it. You cannot fire up your C64 and the OS load like it does now. Looks like they have a lot of work still to do before it is a C64 Operating System.

    That's still pretty good. I watched a couple of the videos like the nerd
    I am.

    Got my emulator running now and I think I may even haul out the hardware
    soon. We're just re-arranging the apartment so my father in law can move
    in and once I know what space I have left...
