How you seen BeVICE? The Commodore emulator for BeOS? It's easier
to transfer programs to the virtual Commodore than to the real thing!
;-) See http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dsladic/vice/vice.html

Anyway, Andreas Matthies (to whom I'm CC:ing) wrote the port to BeOS,
so he probably might know more about interfacing the Commodore world
with the BeOS world. Andreas, could you please jump in here?

Spiro.
