Here is version 0.3 of VICScript for VIC-20 and C64.

It is FREE SOFTWARE licenced under GNU GPL v3.0. Source code is included in the ZIP file. It builds with cc65.

I am 3096 bytes short!! Damn!

Correct.

I use MightyTerm with the WiModem so I can probably help you out :) I have the same 32K memory expansion too. At a first glance it looks like your RS232 settings in MightyTerm are incorrect. You should be set to 1200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (otherwise known as 8N1). The settings in Might...

I only tried CSDb once and it seemed to choke on one of the feeds (towards the end).

I haven't had a chance to look into this yet though.

Yay

A while ago I released my little programming language interpreter VICScript for the VIC-20 (+ 32K.)

I have now ported it to C64.

The attached ZIP file has VIC-20 and C64 versions, plus the manual.

When I do eventually get an Apple II (again), the Floppy Emu will also be on my shopping list

Reliability is improving little by little. Hopefully I can eventually get it to be bulletproof! I will see if I can add a way to abort displaying a feed other than RUNSTOP-RESTORE. However sometimes when the WiModem is downloading a URL it does not seem to be possible to abort with '+++' followed by...

Right after I posted this it locked up on C64 (on a CBC feed).

Still, it seems pretty reliable on (NTSC) VIC-20 with WiModem now.

Here is v0.91, a minor update to v0.90. - Kiosk mode now loops forever once again. (I broke that in v0.9). - Added 'K' option to provider menu which does kiosk mode through all providers and all feeds. There is still a per-provided 'K' option to do kiosk mode for that provider only. - I use hardware...

I have been running the NASA feeds in kiosk mode repeatedly for the last hour or so without any issue. (While I was writing this is locked up after maybe an hour.) In v0.9 kiosk mode only goes through the feeds once. I have fixed that for upcoming releases and it will iterate continuously. Looking a...

It is good to know that the RSS Reader works with other user port Internet solutions

I am playing with the new feeds. I see with some of the longer articles I am getting RS-232 RX overruns (lost characters). The VIC-20 display shows '[ST rx overrun]' when this occurs. I am going to play around with the code to address this issue. I can use flow control (RTS) to stop the modem when d...

Awesome, maybe I will add the CSDb and NASA feeds to the included config file! I also discovered how to add weather feeds for a location using The Weather Network. Interesting that you are still experiencing lock-ups. Is this on VIC-20 or C64? If it is on VIC-20, are you using srowe's RS-232 wedge (...
