These two programs are a quick and dirty file transfer system. They
allow the C64 to load programs that reside on a PC. A special cable is
necessary to use this system:

C64 User Port           PC Parallel Port
-------------           ----------------
GND                     GND
FLAG2                   D4
PB0                     *Strobe
PB1                     *Auto
PB2                     Init
PB3                     *Select
PB4                     D0
PB5                     D1
PB6                     D2
PB7                     D3
PA2                     *BUSY

To use:
Load the file rxpc on the C64. Enter 'SYS 820'.
On the PC, type x64 filename.prg. When the program has finished transfering,
both computers will return to their normal prompts.

This is just a first pass program. It is only good for loading single
file programs, since no hooks were provided to use it for normal loading.
However, it has worked with every program I have thrown at it. Loading
time is very quick (a couple of seconds).

When I have more time (probably over the Thanksgiving weekend), I'll try
to make this into a normal fastload type program. I'll also add save
capability, though saving will take about twice as long as loading.

If you have any questions, comments, or improvements, please send me mail.
