Word Processor [Comtec] Category: Word Processing & Text Editors11-02-24

Word Processor - This is a line based text editor that was recovered from the public domain disk named "Comtec #1075".  Although I wouldn't call this a word processor, it does act like a decent text editor and has full support for tape and disk.

Word Pro 64 Category: Word Processing & Text Editors11-02-24

Word Pro 64 - This is a simple line based text editor written in BASIC for the Commodore 64 that was recovers from a public domain disk named Comtec #1075.  Unfortunately, only saving and loading from tape is supported, but being it's all written in BASIC, there's no stopping you from adding disk support.

Poet in a Can Category: Miscellaneous Applications11-02-24

Poet in a Can - Translated to Commodore BASIC by R.C. Gentry - I figured since I was salvaging stuff from the Comtec #1075 public domain floppy, I'd post this.  This is a simple BASIC program that originated in the book "The BASIC Idea: An Introduction to Computer Programming" by Richard Forsyth that generates some poetry.  The program requires a printer because it doesn't output anything to the screen.

Word Worker v1.0 Category: Word Processing & Text Editors11-02-24

Word Worker v1.0 by Jim Garrick - Don't have much information about this simple word processor written in BASIC for the Commodore 64.  I found this on a floppy disk called Comtec #1075.  It appears from this Lemon64 post that Comtec might have been a distributor or shareware / public domain software.

geoTheo v1.1 - "A concise thesaurus for GEOS", by Bret M. Timmins (NewSpeak Software).  The following is a quote from the manual:

Welcome to geoTheo. The first thesaurus written specifically for the GEOS environment. Unlike a traditional thesaurus in book format, where precious time is wasted thumbing through a long index, geoTheo gives you nearly instant access to thousands of the most commonly used--and misused -- synonyms by simply typing a word.

Thanks to Bruce Thomas for sending over this neat GEOS Desk Accessory that works in both GEOS 64 and GEOS 128 (40 or 80 column mode).  geoTheo was announced in the August 1991 issue of RUN magazine and Bruce purchased a copy in November 1991.  In September of 2004 Bruce contacted Bret Timmins resulting in the public domain release of the program.  In this archive you will find the disk image containing the program and the advertised 10,000 word data file, plus a geoWrite file of the manual and a PDF of the printed version which Bruce scanned in.

CardCo CardPrint +G Category: Hardware Manuals [C64]10-27-24

Within the text of this manual references are made to many printers and printer types. The C/?+G interface was intended to be used only with printers that conform to certain standards. There are four groups of printers that are intended to be used with the C/?+G interface. Within each group there may be many printers. The four groups are the Epson group, the Prowriter group, the Okidata group and the Siekosha group. A listing of the most common printers in each group is on page A1 of the appendix of this manual. When, in this manual, we refer to one of the printers in a group the statement will refer to all  printers in that group.

If your printer isn't listed in one of those groups it may still be in one of them, we just aren't aware of it. If this is the case and you find that your printer works when set up like one of the printers in one of the groups, please let us know so we can pass on the information to other users.

Any printer can be used with the C/?+G (See page A1 of the appendix for OTHER PRINTERS) but the special Commodore functions and Commodore graphics will not be available.

Cardco Card/? A (Card/Print) Manual Category: Hardware Manuals [C64]10-27-24

The "CARD/?" (CARD/PRINT) printer interface was designed to all you to add any parallel printer to your VIC-20 or C-64 computer. The design objective was to provide you with a system that would so closely
duplicate the functions of the VIC printers that you would be able to run available software without any changes. To accomplish this task, and still allow you to make use of the special features available in today's
high quality printers, required some special approaches to solving simple problems.

PaperClip Publisher Category: Desktop Publishing10-25-24

PaperClip Publisher by Batteries Included - If you'd like to create eye-catching layouts, but don't enjoy playing with scissors and glue, PaperClip Publisher has the solution. This powerful page layout program for the Commodore 64 lets you combine text from your favorite word processor and graphics from your favorite drawing program to create almost any layout you can think up.

Thank you Blue Cursor for coming through with this nice find; disk images for PaperClip Publisher, and not just .d64, but .nibs also.  As noted by Blue Cursor, the disk image on archive.org is only side a of the program and the version on CSDb is a crack, so now we have the two disk set that includes extra graphics, sample layouts and templates.  

Here's a Link to the manual.

Ahoy! Best of Anthology Category: Collections10-25-24

Bruce Thomas has come through with another great collection! This time we have an 8 disk collection of all the best Ahoy! had to offer.  The following is a partial quote from the email Bruce sent with the disk images:

Ahoy! Magazine released eight Anthology Disks between July 1985 and May 1987. These disks covered four categories (Best of [Year], Best Utilities, Best Games, Best C-128) and included programs that had appeared in the magazine from January 1984 to April 1987.

Copies of the Best of 85 and Best Utilities disks have been available for a couple decades but the other Anthology Disks haven't been to my knowledge.

Most of the programs have been available in one location or another but I did have to type-in a few.I also went through all of the magazines and updated the programs with patches/changes that had appeared in the magazine both before and after the official Errata column arrived in the January 1985 magazine. Many of the problems were from messed up printed program listings but some of the programs on-disk actually had flaws that needed correcting. You may want to update your existing Ahoy! Disk Collection with these versions.

No documentation is included. For that, you will have to read the magazines - the issues for each program can be found in the ad on Page 41 of the May 1987 magazine (jpg included). One notable exception is Syntax Patrol on the Best of 86 disk which is listed as being in the September 86 issue whereas it is actually in the November 86 issue.

If you want all the gory details read the TLDR version of this file included here.

Thanks Bruce for all the efforts you put into preserving, correcting, and completing if these collections.
