On the Hunt for Zeus64 Docs
Dear All,
does anybody have either .doc .txt or even a scanned document with the commands for Zeus64?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
Paul. |

Guys, don't worry, since posting this I managed to find it by chatting to a friend of mine in IRC.
Thanks though... |

Sorry for bumping this old topic but I'm also on the quest of finding Zeus docs and everywhere I've looked I only see info that somebody found it already or it has been PMed to someone else. Can anyone share a copy with the world publicly please? Thanks in advance. |

i think it was probably me that Trooper got the manual off; it's hand-typed from the original as an RTF (so some ytpos may have snuck in). Added it to the Mad Mekon's crack of Zeus 64 Assembler since the manual was from the same original used for the crack. =-) |

Thanks a lot. For preservation purposes it would be great to find actual scan of docs but for now this is perfect. |

Deleted the file, as it does not belong to the release in question. Add it somewhere else on the internet (I've heard it's full of data and blogs and stuff), and add the link in this thread. |

Good. And that's the proper place for it too. Not CSDb. |

So, rewinding back 10 years, as that is roughly when I originally posted this, is the CSDB forums not the correct place to ask about items like this? was the Zeus64 (and C128 version) not used in the 'scene' for 'commodore' during demo coding times? and should it not be put within a 'database' for prosperity?
Please help me understand why it shouldn't be within the CSDB?
Oh, just for reference I'm not being flippant, I've always been on the outskirts of the 'scene' since I was 14, 30 years on, I'm still on the outskirts, and never been as heavy into it as a lot of people around the world. So, I'm just trying to understand. |

Because zeus64 is not a scene product but a commercial product and the "real" manual (even if a scan or txt of it) is not a scene product either. The only way to make it csdb-worthy is to type it in a noter and release the resulting prg, but still it's not pertaining the release where it was added anyway. |

Thanks for the info, makes sense, as it could potentially lead to 'copyright issues' if someone wanted to be pedantic. |

its not about copyright issues - its simply that csdb collects scene releases only. no more no less. |

well, I didn't mean it literally like that, what I was meaning, if there is something online that shouldn't be, when it belongs to someone else, it 'could' leave to DMCA's so, if 'commercial' stuff isn't even LINKED then CSDB, whether user mistake or not, can't get in trouble. Make more sense? I get it's scene, no more, no less, as I didn't realize Zeus64 was 'Commercial' as, like stated above, I'm not as heavy into the scene as others. Just trying to have a 'back and forth' conversation, and understanding why, etc. |
