For discussions about the [[Main Page]] and the Side Bar please use the [[Talk:Main_Page|Main page disussion page]] page.<br />
For suggestions of completely new sections and features, please use the [[Suggestions]] page.
</div>

* ''For older talks please have a look at the [[Discussion/Archive1|Archive]].''

Hello! Thus is the discussion page. Thought it'd be useful to have something of the sort. Just enter your comments or suggestions, but for new entries always use the headline feature ('== Headline =='). New entries must always be appended at the end of the page. And you can reply to comments by using a ':' or '::' or ':::' the deeper you go...

== Category "News" ==

If we start to add the news to own categories we should avoid naming the news article with "News:" as prefix, because in the category listing everything would appear under the letter 'N'. The same problem occurs with programming articles (prefix "Programming:"). Maybe we should remove the prefix from this articles? --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 10:12, 28 August 2006 (CEST)
: Uh, good question... Somehow I like these prefixes, and as there are already sorted lists we even don't need the categories at all, but on the other hand you are also right. Don't know... -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 13:59, 28 August 2006 (CEST)
: I think we should keep the prefixes at least for the news, as the titles of this pages are not terms but small summary like sentences. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:49, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

== Discussion, Suggestions, Main Page Talk ==

Now we have:
* [[Discussion]]
* [[Suggestions]]
* [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page Talk:Main_Page]
In the sidebar, "discussion page" is the main page talk, on the main page "discussion" is the discussion page. Maybe we should clean this up a little bit or create some definitions, what to write where? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 22:32, 29 August 2006 (CEST)

: I moved general discussion stuff from the Main Page talk page to the two existing pages [[Discussion]] and [[Suggestions]] and added some messages describing the rules. I still wonder, if it makes sense to split up "discussion" and "suggestions"? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:44, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

== Linking to WIKIPEDIA ==

currently the tag {{Wikipedia}} doesnt seem to work howcome... It does over at [http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Hauptseite C64 Wiki] :-) --[[User:CPCLER|CPCLER]] 18:34, 1 September 2006 (CEST)
:Mmmm..... can you give an example? [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 20:41, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

:: Yep.. over at [http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/CP/M The C64 WIKI] under section '''LINK'''. OK i could just link directly!!! But.....

:::: Sorry, I can't follow?! This template doesn't exist yet at all and what do we have to do with the links in the C64 Wiki? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 12:44, 2 September 2006 (CEST)

::: Yup, confirmed. Am trying to figure it out - sorry for the lack of support lately, I've been so busy at work I can merely glance at it usually... [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]]

== Categories ==
Please remember about adding proper category for new articles(I'm not without fault here), as it allows much easier cataloging of similar articles.--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 17:56, 3 September 2006 (CEST)

: Sorry about that Torn!!...
::Hehe, You don't have to. Categories are only for the readers' convinience, they aren't some kind of "Wiki-law".;) And even if the were, I'm in no position to enforce them. :P --[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:39, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:::I always forget to add the categories in the initial article and have to edit it again, but I think it's quite important to have them. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:11, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== Why cant i upload MP3 files ==

Seems i cant upload MP3 files.. I want to add some speech examples of the SPO256 and MEA8000 chips!

:Yeah, and also PNG, ZIP and others. The problem is known already, and Gryzor is working on it...--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:39, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== The complete I/O map for the CPC ==

How do people think about making a complete list of what devices is using which addresses in the I/O map? --[[User:Ygdrazil|Ygdrazil]] 15:22, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:Great idea! --[[User:Octoate|Octoate]] 15:34, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
:: Indeed, this would be extremely useful. This is, how it looks for the MSX: [http://www.work.de/nocash/portar.htm Portar MSX Tech Doc]. But a short overview would be fine for the beginning. I can make a first step and paste TFMs I/O list here. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 16:18, 4 September 2006 (CEST)
::: Added: [[I/O_Port_Summary]] -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 19:12, 4 September 2006 (CEST)

== Category "Stub" ==

Please put every article, which is not finished and contains text like "please add more infos here" or something like this, into the category "Stub", so that other people, who may know more, can find these articles and extend them. The problem is, that not all "short pages" are such stubs, and so it would be difficult to find unfinished articles without the category. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:52, 5 September 2006 (CEST)

== Multi lingual ==

Maybe we should introduce a category for each contry... so that every article is member of a cataory where there are information in a given language! What do you think?

== Bajtek ==
Oh my, I've really fuckup something! See: [[Talk:Bajtek]] and please advise my what to do now, as now '''even article''' won't show-up...--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:36, 6 September 2006 (CEST)
:OK, problem solved. Thanks goes to the Ygdrazil, who made a Copy and allowed me to experiment with recovering the orginal article. Now, the [[Bajtek Copy]] should be deleted and I can re-upload the picture(only this time, much much smaller ;P).--[[User:Torn|Torn]] 14:54, 6 September 2006 (CEST)

== Utility to make animated GIFs? ==

Does anyone of you guys know a nice utility(or another way) for making animated GIFs? --[[User:80.163.0.106|80.163.0.106]] 10:46, 7 September 2006 (CEST)

Protext

2006-09-06T11:49:18Z

80.163.0.106:

One of the most successful British word processor programs, developed by Peterborough-based [[Arnor]] Ltd between 1985 and 1995. Protext has sold over 30,000 copies. Original written for the Amstrad [[CPC]]464, Protext was subsequently released for the Amstrad PCW8256, the PC, the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga and the Acorn Archimedes.

When [[Arnor]] closed in 1995 it seemed that Protext had become another British casualty of the fast-evolving world of computers. But a group of Protext users with professional experience from other areas of business, were not prepared to let it go. They formed a partnership called Protext Software with the copyright owners and original programmers and have relaunched the program in an new version (v6.7) for the PC.
