1.Copyright

 This is freeware program and you may use it as long as you want. It can be
also  freely  distributed  in  original  package  as  long as no payment is
charged. C64s fix is provided "as is" and you use it just at your OWN risk.

2.Some informations


Programming: Piotr Tracz aka KaeMEGie
Palette    : Daniel Kottmair aka DeeKay / Crest

 This  small  tool patches the colors in Miha Peternel's C64s emulator. You
may  ask  "Why  patch  colors in C64s - they are good!". Well, I didn't say
they  are awful but some graphics looks quite strange under C64s, and there
are much better colors created by Deekay.

 C64sfix  can  patch  C64s  v2.0a,  2.5a  and 2.52a. If you have some other
version  which  my  tool  doesn't recognize, just send c64s.exe to me and I
will send you updated version of C64sfix.

3.Let's patch your C64s!

 Just  copy  c64sfix.exe into C64s directory and start it - don't forget to
copy your c64s.exe into some other directory, just for maximum safe. If you
will get "error: c64s seems to be packed - unpack it first" you must unpack
your  c64s.exe  first. What that mean? Exe files are very often packed what
makes  them  smaller  and  saves free hdd space. Probably your C64s will be
packed  by  LZexe - to unpack it use LZEXE, UNP or any other unpacker (they
are  available  on  almost every anonymous ftp site). If you has really bad
luck,  your c64s may be packed using PKLITE or WWP with unpackable option -
then you has really big problem - try to use some new unpacking tools (UPX,
etc)

 If  you  will  get  "error:  unknown  c64s version - cannot patch it!" you
should  send  your  c64s.exe  to  me and I will send you updated version of
c64sfix.

 If  you are lucky man, your C64s will be recognized correctly, backuped to
c64s.old  (keep  it in safe!!!), and finally patched. Now you can enjoy the
new colors. That's all!

4.Finishing words

First I would like to say "thank you a lot!" to these people:

Kovcs Balzs aka Joe Forster / STA for his software support
and
Daniel Kottmair aka DeeKay / Crest for giving me his color palette
