W-1541 is a replacement for commodoreserver.com V-1541 v1.4 that includes DOS wedge commands.  If you don't know about commodoreserver.com, I highly recommend checking it out.  It's a great service that among other things provides a virtual 1541 drive to your Commodore computer.

This one is a bit of a mystery.  I've found two references to Business BASIC on the net.  One is from the C64-Wiki that states this extension was by Kingsoft in 1985 and is also known as S'MORE Basic.  The other reference also by the C64-Wiki says "There is a module extension known as Business Basic for the C64 or the C64 Basic V3.5 implementation published in 64'er Magazin 6/90 to get BASIC 3.5 capabilities on a C64 hardware.".  I'm guessing this is the later, but since I can't read German you'll have to investigate this for yourself.

CCGMS 2020 by Alwyz - Notes from the author:

- Re-write of pretty much every driver and tons of optimizations and improvements under the hood. Saved 10 blocks. 

- Ultimate driver has been removed, since Swiftlink emulation is now a feature of the Ultimate64 / Ultimate II+

- CRT is Easyflash Version. No RR-Net Support. IDE64 version in progress to hopefully be released at some point in the near future.

ModemBASIC is a utility which allows programing bulletin board systems and terminal programs with the ease of BASIC and the speed of machine language.  ModemBASIC adds 23 commands and functions to BASIC as well as a DOS wedge with an additional 7 commands, enhanced floating point routines, and a new cursor.

Full docs are included in the archive.

"MetaBASIC 128," (Released in Compute!'s Gazette February 1987) will change the way you program. It adds 11 new debugging and testing commands to BASIC 7.0-and these commands are instantly at your fingertips for programming sessions.

Here's a link to the documentation.

"MetaBASIC Plus" (Released in Compute!'s Gazette February 1987) is a companion program to "MetaBASIC 64." It adds 11 new commands and modifies HELP to print the new MetaBASIC Plus commands in addition to the original MetaBASIC commands.  Please read the docs because you have to merge this into MetaBASIC 64 which is included in this archive.

Combiner v1.0 by Nick Vrtis is a GEOS utility that lets you combine geoWrite files with precise placement.  You can combine files from various versions of geoWrite and even move graphics images.  Full instructions are built into the help menu.

Wrong is Write v7.0 by Joe Buckley (AKA Red Storm) is a utility for converting files from other word processors to GEOS format of various types and allows you to switch documents from one GeoWrite format to another.  Another feature of Wrong is Write is changing fonts / styles in a document.  Last but no least, you can also convert a document to and from true ASCII or PET ASCII.  According to geoWorld Issue 21 (Page 15) this would allow you to convert a Postscript file to a GeoWrite file and back again.

See issue geoWorld Issue 15 for a small overview of what Wrong is Write can do in the article "GEOS IN THE LAW OFFICE" By Marshall Kragen.

This is the manual for MetaBASIC 64, MetaBASIC 128 and MetaBASIC Plus.  You can also find this information in the February 1987 issue of Compute!'s Gazette magazine.

MetaBASIC (from the April 1985 Compute Gazette) is a utility will change the way you program. It adds 32 new debugging and testing commands to Commodore 64 BASIC, working by itself or in conjunction with a machine language monitor/assembler.

Disk Commander by Melody Hall Pub, Released in 1986 is  a multi-function disk tool for the Commodore 64.  There are over a dozen commands for all sorts of file related functions.  Check out the screenshot to see what's available.

C64 Menu Program by Edward Carroll is a simple but useful automated disk menu creator with a built-in turbo loader.

Dir-Designer Pro v2.1 from Tritech and programmed by J.Schuetz is a neat tool for not only sorting directories, but also adding seperators and even editing low level parameters of files.  

New Directory is a straight forward tool for changing the order of the files on a disk.  You can either manually sort the files or sort alphabetically.

Turbo Menu Maker C64 by The Yak Society is a cool disk menu creator.  You run the program, put in a disk and it will go through the files one by one asking you which ones to add to the menu.  When it's finished it writes out a custom menu program that has a built-in turbo load.  Very nice program.

This Commodore 64 Kernal is a variation that supports disk functions mapped to the function keys, leaving all the tape and rs-232 functions in place.

MetaBASIC is an extension to Commodore BASIC  that will change the way you program. It adds 32 new debugging and testing commands to Commodore 64 BASIC, working by itself or in conjunction with a machine language monitor/assembler.

Label Pro v4.0 by Steve Boal is a super flexible label printing program with tons of features.  This might be one of the best label printers I've come across.

3 Column Directory Printer by Prismware is an excellent utility for printing out really long directory listings on a single sheet of paper.

Story Writer is a limited word processor designed especially for primary grade students and is intended to be used in conjunction with a sound classroom writing program. It is not intended that everything children write should be done on a wordprocessor.

This disk has the drivers for the Cardco Cardkey 1 Numeric Keypad.  Both Commodore 64 and VIC-20 drivers are included.  Also on the disk is a compatible calculator program called Calc v1.0 by Steve Fauer & Brett Ricketts.

The Major ReOrg v2.1 by Bo Zimmerman is a feature rich directory editor for GEOS that lets you do all the usual things you'd expect and some.  If you'd like to check out the source visit Bo's site.  Bo updated the program in 2009 to work with Wheels64 v4.4.

You can also find a copy of this program on LoadStar Disk #190.

Font Swap for GEOS by Payton W. Snider II is a desk accessory that works while using geoWrite 2.1, allowing you to swap out the fonts that are available while you're writing a document.

Font Swap can also be found on geoWorld Disk #5 which was released with geoWorld Issue #22.

geoBEAP v2.1a by Bo Zimmerman is an amazing GEOS utility that  will create (pack) and dissolve (or unpack) the following disk images: .D64 (standard C= emulator 1541 disks), .D71 (standard C= emulator 1571 disks), .D81 (standard C= emulator 1581 disks), ZipCode 4-packs (by DarkStar, the original disk image archiver), EMUTIL single compressed images (supports ANY drive type, and gets better compression than .D64 or ZipCode), EMUTIL multi-file compressed images (same as above, but multiple files), and the original .BEP format (unchanged since 1.5). geoBEAP 2.0 ALSO supports the following FILE archive formats: GEOS Convert (.cvt) files, LYNX (.lnx) archives (includes relative file support, and support for EVERY version of LYNX I know of), and ARK (.ark) archives (including relative file support). The LYNX support also includes geoPack files, making geoBEAP a direct replacement for that aging application.

This version was updated in 2009 to work with Wheels. Full docs included on disk.
