                         64NET 1.71.00 BETA ADDENDUM
                         ---------------------------

     -----------------

To use 64NET you must first find a way to transfer the 64NET.64 file if you
are using 64NET with a C64 or C128, or 65NET.64 if you are using a C65/C64DX,
from the IBM compatible disk to the Commodore machine.
  Common methods employed include the following:

     * NULL-MODEM cable in conjunction with terminal software on the C64 and 
IBM compatible & a suitable RS-232 interface for the C64/C65/C128.   
     * BIG BLUE or LITTLE RED reader programmes for the C128/C64 to transfer
the file directly using a 1571 or 1581 commodore disk drive or compatible
unit.
     * COPY CARD for the IBM compatible computer to allow read and writing
1541 and 1581 diskettes in a PC drive. (These units are difficult to find)
     * X1541 PC-1541 interface system to directly connect a 1541 floppy drive 
to an IBM compatible computers printer port.

                                   or

     * Type in the 64NTTRAN.BAS file included in this distribution onto your
Commodore 64/65/128, and SAVE to floppy disk.  Also copy the 64NET.64 file to
your 64NET directory if it is not already there.  Then add the following two
lines to the 64NET.INI file:

[Preferences]
TRANSFER MODE
  
  Then run the PC software and also run the 64NTTRAN.BAS file which you typed
in (on the C64/C65/C128).  Several messages should be displayed, and the file
will be transferred to your device 8 disk drive.  This may take upto 10minutes
but it will do the trick!
  Once the transfer is complete exit 64NET on the PC by pressing ESC - note 
this may take several seconds as 64NET will be operating in "slow" mode 
(which allows connections from BASIC to function correctly).  Remove the two
lines from your 64NET.INI file which you added at the begining of this
procedure.
  64NET will now function normally if you LOAD and RUN the 64NET.64 file from
your diskette (NOTE: you must be in C64 mode on a C128 or C65/C64DX). You may
then copy the C128 or C65/C64DX native mode wedges to your diskette for 
starting 64NET from those computers' native modes.

*** If you are unable to transfer the file yourself contact your local 64NET
distributor and they will be able to provide you with a 1541 or 1581 diskette
with the file for a nominal fee.

NOTE: If you have purchased the 64NET system as a complete package from a
registered 64NET dealer you should have received a 1541 or 1581 diskette with
the appropriate files.
