Commodore BASIC v3.5 Manual 

According to Wikipedia, BASIC 3.5 was the first version to add a number of commands for graphics and sound support.  Here's a link to an extension from the June 1990 Issue of 64'er for the Commodore 64 to allow running those programs.

A while back I either got an email or read somewhere on the internet that early 1541 disk drives came with a disk of programmer's utilities.  Here is the manual for those utilities.

If you are reading this and were the one to source this nice scan, please let me know so I can give you credit for sharing this rare information.

The set of programs in this package is one in a series of twenty-seven sets in the Commodore Public Domain Series. This series of prepackaged software is designed to introduce you to the many practical, educational, and fun applications your home computer offers.  The programs in this series show you things like how to make a mortgage table, convert decimal numbers into hexadecimal, follow a flow chart, and play word games on your computer.

Welcome to this revised expanded manual for the excellent music tracker SID-Wizard2 for Commodore 64. I will try to go into detail of most aspects of the tracker and I will also try to explain the functions of the wonderful SID chip as we go along. The reason why I expanded the work of Mihaly's manual is that there is some stuff left out that SID gurus know but beginners don't.

This guide covers SID Wizard versions up to 1.6 and is still helpful with 1.7 & 1.8, but version 1.8 has many changes compared to 1.6.

DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI application designed to help Commodore enthusiasts explore and manage their disk image collections. DirMaster supports common (and uncommon) emulator disk image formats (such as .d64, .d81, .d2m, etc), almost every native Commodore archival format (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc), and many native graphic formats (such as koala, doodle, amica, etc). DirMaster was designed to give users a perfect blend of familiar appearance (e.g. natural looking disk image contents using the PETSCII character set) and modern GUI functionality (e.g. drag and drop, opening multiple diskimages at once). The first version of DirMaster was released in 2006.

By purchasing Disk Maker, you have insured that your valuable software library will not be lost!  Now you too can safeguard your Commodore software against loss or damage - just as professional programmers do -by creating backup copies of your software programs.  And by keeping a backup of programs that you personally are creating, you will avoid wasting countless hours of re-entering data, in case you accidentally erase your work.

DotBASIC Plus (DB+) is a new and exciting way to put pizzazz in your programs.  While DotBASIC is astoundingly easy to use, there are a few new concepts that may be unfamiliar to the BASIC 2.0 programmer.  So, we highly recommend you start from the beginning.  The first part of the manual will walk you through a number of program ideas, explaining the various DB+ commands and concepts along the way.  Take the time to work your way through them—we promise it will pay off!  Once you get the hang of DotBASIC, you’ll be amazed at how slick and professional your programs can look with just a few lines of code.

With this 2-pass assembler you can code as well for the 8502 microprocessor as for the Z-80 microprocessor.  Both processors are present in that wonderful machine, the CBM-128.

This document describes how to use the Double-Ass assembler, but doesn't teach how to create correct machine language programs.  It assumes you have experience with the built-in Monitor of the 128-mode.  However, this document contains some clues on how to code in assembly language.

DTL-BASIC 64 is a Basic compiler for the CBM 64.  This manual is for use with DTL-BASIC 64.4 (ie. release 4),or a later release.

DTL-BASIC 64 is a Basic compiler for the CBM 64. This manual is for use with DTL-BASIC 64.4 (ie. release 4),or a later release. 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.

DTL-BASIC 64 is a basic compiler for the CBM 64 that takes an existing program (known as the Source file) and produces the compiled equivalenl of the program (known as lhe object file). The compiled program will run very much faster than the original program and will also be much smaller.

Forth is a different language.  It's aged and a little weird.  What's cool about it?  It's a very low-level and minimal language without any automatic memory management.  At the same time, it easily scales to become a very high-level and domain-specic language, much like Lisp.  Compared to C64 Basic, Forth is more attractive in almost every way.  It is alot more fast, memory effective and powerful.

that does anything you want it to do. Compared to C64 Basic, Forth is more attractive in almost every way. It is a lot faster, more memory effctive, and more powerful.

What BASIC is to BASIC programming , an ASSEMBLER is to ML programming . The E-Z assembler is a complete language. You write programs ( source code ) which the E-Z assembler translates in to the finished , executable M  ( object code ).
