LCWIN software

I used to have an .iso of LC-Win posted in here before my cloud service of 5 or 6 years went out of business and deleted my account without warning. LC-Win on 6.4 is fairly dicey - I think you need to have a minimum of Patch Package F (PPF) in order to use it, and there is a specific sub-version of LC-Win for each patch back then. I know the last I was using was KV58 I think. Problem with LC-Win and 6.4 is that LC-Win was nice but it had a lot of shortcomings so you had to use ProComm as well, in both EMML mode for some things and Direct AMO for others. 6.5 was better, but they had that split into 2 major release - you had the one where the initial release of 6.5 came out, which I call LC-Win 2, and then when the "P" hardware came out and the processor got upgraded there was what I call LC-Win 3. The two of them were not interchangeable - you HAD to know which flavor of 6.5 you had. This is also where they took away %ADDSTN and %CHASTN, which I used to find quite useful. We didn't get those back until 6.6 and LC-Win 4 came out, and then LC-Win had the ability to renumber stations again.
Have you checked the Tonido site (see FAQ above) to see if there is a disk image of LC-Win up there? If you get the disk image of the latest version of 4.0 it also has all the older releases on there.
If you use ProComm Plus you also need to have the 3.5 inch floppy that ships with the system tape set, or you need to get the pans3.kbd and tvi910.kbd files to set PC Plus up to work with EMML or if you want to directly access RMX through the COM port.
While I have not used it for this myself I am also told that you can use the current tool, Comwin, that SHOULD be on the Tonido site to manage 9006 in Direct AMO. When you set it up to connect you can use prom different communication methods. If you want any kind of GUI experience you need to use LC-Win, and as I said, back in the 6.4 days if you did some LC-Win and some EMML or Direct AMO it was possible to corrupt the database, and then you had to run the Regenerate System Database tool in EMML.
