GEOS is a remarkable enhancement to the Commodore computer and has had much to do with keeping this computer platform alive all these years.

Writer's Workshop expands the "whole new world" created by GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System).

This manual describes several "extra" commands that were created for geoSHELL2.2 after geoSHELL was released.  These were available for free downloading to geoSHELL users from various online services and are now being supplied with geoSHELL. Previously, these commands were supplied on a separate disk known as the "geoSHELL extras", but they can now be found on the geoSHELL disk (side 2 in 1541 format).

What is geoSHELL?  geoSHELL is a user interface that is used exclusively with the GEOS operating system on a Commodore 64 or 128.  Much like the DeskTop, geoSHELL can perform most of the functions that a GEOS user needs for managing disk files. Unlike the DeskTop, however, geoSHELL is almost entirely text-based, rather than using icons and pull-down menus.  This does not mean that icons and menus cannot be used, however.  Therefore, the initial appearance of geoSHELL leads one to believe that it is not user-friendly. However, once you become familiar with it, you will find yourself getting around in GEOS to be much faster and easier.

GeoWorks Announcement and Information

geoProgrammer is a sophisticated set of assembly language development tools, designed specifically for building GEOS applications.  geoProgrammer is a scaled-down version of the UNIX™ based development environment Berkeley Softworks actually uses to develop GEOS programs.  In fact, nearly all the functionality of our microPORT system has been preserved in the conversion to the Commodore environment.
