You'll need bzip2 and tar to extract it, then Visual Studio 6 to build it. I'm guessing you probably just want a version to use on your Win98 machine, rather than to build it yourself? > Is there a similar version for Windows. I would like to be a > willing volunteer to try out for Windows ;-) Sure... I've built an updated Win32 EXE from the same code Stefan's is using under Linux. If you've not got it already, download the existing Win32 version 0.81a from http://www.simcoupe.org/. Then download the updated EXE from: http://www.simcoupe.org/SimCoupe-0.90-beta4-Win32.zip and extract the contents over the old SimCoupe.exe. To confirm you're using the new one have a look in the About box - the version should be "0.90 beta 4". To use the Atom support, change the Drive 2 type to "Atom Hard Disk" in the options. Then create an "Atom" sub-directory in the directory containing SimCoupé, and copy some disk images to it. Any disk images found will become part of a virtual hard disk for BDOS. I'd recommend starting with about 5 blank disk images, created using New Disk on the File menu, before using existing images (just in case!). Of course, it'll be easier if you've used a real Atom before - see the BDOS docs for more info. The Win32 verison continues to use the native GUI, but you can still access the new GUI (as used by the SDL version under Linux). If you hold down shift as you select "Insert...", "Options..." or "About..." from the menus, the built-in versions will be used instead. Note that some of the Display options will be disabled, as they're not yet available in the SDL version. There are lots of other (mainly internal) changes I can't remember now - the ChangeLog and Win32-specific documents will be updated just before the release. If you're unsure of anything, or you find any potential bugs, please let me know! Si
