Downloaded this program a couple of weeks ago. I've been using it quite a bit. Works beautifully. Thank you Boray.

This is still the gold standard; askew query though: is the long-missing command-line version now gone forever? Nobody has found it elsewhere or kept a copy?

That is a question for Robert Hurst ( http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bul ... ile&u=1506 )

I've sent a private message; I'll keep my fingers crossed but fair enough if that version has been withdrawn.

UPDATE: with immense gratitude to Robert Hurst for responding, the binary has long ago fallen off the internet but the source remains available. So that's even better!

I'm using PRG starter with Launchbox which is a front end to a number of emulators.

Any tips on how to set up multipart files via command line? I am trying to automate the following feature:

Some cartridge images on Vic-20 are in two parts that goes to different memory addresses. They are normally named something like SpaceMan_6000.prg and SpaceMan_A000.prg. To start these, do like this: Double click the non-A000 part. Then drag and drop the A000 part into the VICE window. Press Alt-R to start.

I tryed to setup PRG starter with wine on my Debian PC but failed. After some attempt fighting with mono I was able to launch it but the configuration of xvic executable directory resulted in error

I can run xvic myself, what is important for me is getting the parameters to be able to launch for example the two chess programs listed here: https://www.commodore.ca/manuals/funet/ ... dex-t.html

"/games/8k" is a strong hint that you should enable a +8K RAM expansion in BLK1:
