We hope you enjoy this first library/expansion disk. We are breaking new ground with our Unique Approach!  We Invite All comments and suggestions relating to ideas that you would like to see implemented in future-library editions!  If you can provide us with a basic version of your idea, we will take every reasonable effort to convert it to ML for the BBS!

Welcome to DATA MANAGER 128, the complete information management system for your Commodore 128.  DATA MANAGER 128 is a fast and efficient way to keep track of all types of information - customer files, inventory, address lists, market trend statistics, even phone numbers and recipes - and you can retrieve that information at the touch of a key.

Just think how nice it would be to look up someone's name and address without having to look through an address book, or how much faster and easier it would be to find specific information from a single floppy disk, instead of having to search through mounds of paper.  Better yet, think how much time could be saved by tabulating information with a computer instead of spending hours doing calculations manually.  DATA MANAGER 2 does this work for you. Your data is stored on space-saving disks - no more bulky, messy files.  DATAMANAGER 2 searches and displays data quickly, easily, and most of all, painlessly.

Before you use DesTerm for too long, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this User Guide. DesTerm has a whole host of features to help you telecommunicate - if you know how to use them.

This utility disk contains many useful programs which increase the capacity and flexibility of dfile128 by allowing you to manlpulate and modify your record flIes.  These programs were created because they were requested, even demanded, by loyal users of dflle 128.  Of course, lf you do not have the dfile128 Database Management System, these special utilities will not do you much good since they only perform operations on dfile128 record files.

dfile128 is a fully featured easy-to-use database management system. This program was developed by listening to the inputs of several thousand users, like yourself, and implementing those features which most of you found desirable to have.

Congratulations!  You have just purchased the most powerful Commodore 64 disk access utility yet written.  I hope that you will find Di-Sector enjoyable. Should you discover any problems or have any suggestions for improvement, please contact Starpoint Software.  User feedback is the only way that great programs can get better.  Your input will be appreciated.

Di-Sector V2.0b Documentary supplement.

Well you finally have the Di-Sector disk in hand. I hope thatyou will find it worth the wait!

Welcome to the world of disk utilities. This DI-SECTOR diskette contains many disk utilities which represents over two years of hard work inside of the 1541 drive.  This version of DI-SECTOR itself is credited with one full year of work.  With all of this research & development we feel that we have created the best disk utility for the Commodore 1541 disk drive to date.

Dialogue 128 is quite an amazing terminal with support for the Swiftlink RS-232 cartridge, 1351 mouse, 1700 & 1750 RAM expanders, 40/80 column mode and much much more.

DigiTalker 128 is a new programing utility for BASIC 8 and Basic 7 programs. With it and one of the DigiTalker ClipSound Disks you can easily add digitized speech to your Cl28 80 column programs.

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.

All Commodore 64 Disk Drive owners are faced with the problem of converting their tape based software to load from Disk. Until now, most transfer utilities have been difficult to use and effective only with programs which do not employ any special protection methods. Using a method unique to Dosoft, Diskus 1 will transfer almost all standard loading cassette programs to Disk.No program rewriting or user knowledge is  required.

DOODLE! has many features , as you will learn in the following pages.  As you become familiar with the program you will be able to change modes and select features while viewing your sketch.  Every time you use a function key to change modes, the menu behind the sketch pad changes. You can always switch to the menu for a look at the available options.

Dosoft Backup Copier is an advanced file copier/header reader,which provides security backups of almost all copy protected tape software.

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.

Forth is a unique language. What is so special about it? It is a small, low-level language, which can easily be extended to a high-level, domain-specic language
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 ).
