I'm proud to announce cc65 version 2.9.3. cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several other tools. cc65 has C and runtime library support for many of the old 6502 machines, including - The Commodore VIC20 (contributed by Steve Schmidtke ). - The Commodore C64 and C128. - The Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4. - The CBM 510 (aka P500), a quite rare Commodore machine (programs run in bank 0). - The CBM 600/700 family (programs run in bank 1). - Newer PET machines (not 2001) - The Apple ][ (library support by Kevin Ruland ) - The Atari 8 bit machines (thanks to the Atari team: Christian Groessler , Mark Keates , Freddy Offenga and David Lloyd, ). - GEOS for the C64 and C128 (by Maciej Witkowiak ) - The Oric Atmos (this one is BETA!). The libraries are fairly portable, so creating a version for other 6502s shouldn't be too much work. This is a maintenance release that contains bug fixes for version 2.9.2 (see http://www.cc65.org/bugs.php for a list). In addition, the current development versions of the ca65html and da65 applications (an assembler source to HTML converter and a disassembler) have been backported. Apart from these two exceptions, there are no new features in the release! Available packages: As usual I will provide the complete sources and several binary packages, including RPMs for RedHat Linux. Linux is the primary development platform, so the sources do compile out of the box on Linux machines. Please note that there are separate RPMs for the compiler proper and the target specific libraries. To develop for one of the predefined target systems you need the compiler RPM package *and* one of the target machine packages. Binaries for DOS and and Windows will follow or may already be available at the time you read this. OS/2 packages will again be available, but since there are almost no downloads for OS/2, so the host platform may get dropped in the near future (again). As with the RPM packages, you need the package for the development system (Windows, etc.) *and* one or more of the target machine packages. Download: For more information and a download link, please visit the cc65 web page at http://www.cc65.org/ Mailing list: There is a mailing list for discussing cc65 related issues (programming, suggestions, bugs, ...).
