Hi, Lance:

  I have years and years worth of the LoadStar 128 disks.  There are 
several games, and a few utilities on them, that I still use/play to 
this very day!  I'd like to see if I can get them to run under VICE.

  Well, the LoadStar128 disks are/were only for the 128 native mode.  
The programs were not meant to be run in C=64 mode, at all.  That was 
why I subscribed to it, originally. 
  
  And, as I stated, there definitely were quite a few good games on 
those issues - especially card games.  I play them frequently! 
  
  Regarding VICE, though, I was just looking into the WinVice110 .ZIP 
archive, and I am wondering how I should go about extracting the files 
out of it.  Should I create a WINVICE folder on my C: drive, and then 
put all the .ZIP's files into that - using the command to restore all 
of the included subdirectory folders, in the process? 
  
  Some tips on that aspect would be very helpful, please!  [g!]  Thanks 
in advance!
