This new version includes the file manager changes promissed earlier:

• Sometimes syntax error on floppy when manager starts bugfix
  
• Less repeated device not present errors
  
• Switch off sprites on panel change (non-JD + CMD devices)
  
• Less useless directory reload when content already in other panel
  
• Other panel updated when the same on directory reload
  
• No partition list, parent directory, or root directory on floppy
  
• Now can copy filename beginning with "#$" (except to floppy)
  
• No more window flicker during file copy
  
• Progress bar correct now also when copying small files
  
• Directory name can be changed before copy, just like for file
  
• No more abort question when copying haven't started yet and stopped
  
• Faster recursive delete by using S:*
  
• Faster directory sorting, more tolerant to broken directory lists
  
• Do not allow to enter the system partition
  
• Manager freezed sometimes on 1541 II select with CBM DOS
  

There was a big restructuring of code, so there can be regressions. Please drop a mail to the mailinglist or directly to me if something does not work.

Anybody tried the ID64 v0.06 tools on NTSC? (d64/d71 read/write?)

ID64 v0.6b released

After a few years there's another update to the disk image conversion package. What's new?

• significantly faster write of D64 images to 1541
  
• slightly faster read and verify of D64 images
  
• new read/write/verify for D71 images on 1571
  
• cosmetic changes to D81/D1M/D2M/D4M writers.
  

Testers are wanted for checking the NTSC timing of D64 or D71 read/write/verify. It should work, but maybe not. Please report any success or failure!
