Hi everybody,

I am new on the list, although I have been peeking at the archives for
some months already. I am a Dragon 32 user and have recently picked up
some development after a few decades' long hiatus.

= m6809 dev PPA =

For those on Debian-based systems, you may find my m6809 PPA (personal
package archive) convenient.  It has the latest versions (or
snapshots) of toolshed, lwtools and xroar. The packages are built on
Ubuntu 10.04 which means they should install without problems on any
Debian-derivative released in the last 3 years. The PPA page itself
has instructions on how to add the PPA to your software sources so
that you get automatic updates.

        https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive/m6809

= toolshed updates =

For those unfortunate Windows users, you can now find updated build
instructions in the toolshed mercurial repository. Building should be
straight forward on MingW systems, and I would welcome feedback on
Cygwin systems.

A little hint for anyone bandwidth-challenged: The above PPA contains
a 1.1 MB orig.tar.gz which is a source snapshot without the 40 MB
documentation and the overhead of a hg clone.

makewav has received some updates, and can now read DECB headers, and
also write .CAS files.

hdbdos and dwdos can now be built with lwasm, while the deprecated
mamou has been made more compatible with lwasm to ease the migration.

Regards,
Tormod
