Customized Labels v5.0 Category: Label Making ToolsDec-03-2023

Customized Labels by Don Ellingsworth & Thom Chuderski - Simple, straight forward label making program for 3 1/2" x 15/16" fan-fold disk labels.  Works with the Commodore MPS-803 printer and compatibles.

Note - The discrepancy between the program name and the intro screen is because the filename on disk is "custom label 5.0", so I combined them.

Super Labeler v3.0 Category: Label Making ToolsDec-03-2023

Super Labeler v3.0 by Greg Martens (1986) - Don't let the intro screen fool you, I'm sure the name used there is only because the longer name wouldn't fit on the floppy disk image.  Anyway, Super Labeler is a pretty simple program but gets the job done.  Although designed with the Panasonic KX-P1091 in mind, it works find with Epson and compatible printers including the Commodore MPS-803 which I used for testing.

BackBit Firmware 3.4.2 Category: BackBit FirmwareNov-19-2023

BackBit Firmware 3.4.2 (Legacy) - Sadly, this appears to be the last firmware available for the original BackBit hardware, and the previous firmware versions are no longer available from the official firmware source.  Additionally, there is no mention in the revisions.txt file of what the changes are for this version.  Assuming it's feature parity with the BackBit Pro up to this version, then the changes would be:

  • Version 3.4.2 - Sega Master System: Joystick debounce fix

Insta Speed (BASIC Compiler) Manual Category: Software Manuals [C64]Nov-19-2023

INSTA-SPEED is a BASIC compiler for the CBM 64. The programs originate in the United Kingdom and are improved and upgraded versions of DTL BASIC COMPILER, developed for Commodore business computers.

The function of a compiler is to convert a program from its source form (ie. the form in which it is written) into a more efficient form that can run much faster than the original.

INSTA-SPEED has been specially optimized for the CBM 64 and it not only makes every BASIC program a lot faster but will also make each program significantly smaller, except for programs with only a few lines.

INSTA-SPEED is 100% compatible with CBM 64 BASIC. This means that any existing 8ASIC program can be compiled without any alteration, to produce a program that peforms exactly the same, and yet is much faster and requires less memory and disk space.

INSTA-SPEED is designed so that it can be people with no programming knowledge to existing programs. Yet for more experienced range of facilities is provided to enable potential of the CBM 64 to be realized.

Abacus Zoom Pascal Manual [High Quality] Category: Software Manuals [C64]Nov-18-2023

ZOOM Pascal 64 is a true compiler. It generates 6502 machine language from a Pascal source file. Most versions of Pascal use some form of interpreter. This explains why, in timing tests, ZOOM Pascal 64 was the fastest version.

ZOOM Pascal 64 is a subset of the Pascal described by Jensen and Wirth in their book, which is the 'bible' for Pascal. It is also a subset of and supplies all of the string functions of UCSD Pascal. The section Differences from
standard Pascal explains the major differences between ZOOM Pascal 64 and standard Pascal.

This manual is only a guide to use of ZOOM Pascal 64 and is not intended to teach the user how to write programs in Pascal. Consult one of the references in the Appendix C - the bibliography for more information about Pascal
programming.

ZOOM Pascal 64 runs on standard Commodore 64 with a 1541 disk drive. Although ZOOM Pascal 64 can work with a cassette drive, use of a cassette drive is suitable only for small source or data files. ZOOM PASCAL 64 is therefore not distributed on cassette and ABACUS Software does not support a cassette version.
