gateWay v2.5 Users Manual (GEOS)

You are the proud owner of a powerful version of BASIC that gives GEOS users the flexibility to develop their own programs in BASIC.  With this product (in C-64 40-column mode) you have everything you need to begin developing your own BASIC applications in GEOS, taking advantage of the features that have made GEOS so easy to use—pull-down menus, dialog boxes, icons and mouse pointer for easy point-and-click operations. You'll now be able to create programs that use icons, menus, sprites and dialog boxes.

geoCalc is the GEOS based (Graphic Environment Operating System) spreadsheet program with powerful calculating abilities.

geoChart enables you to expand the usefulness of the geoCalc, geoWrite, geoFile, and the Note Pad desk accessory.  With geoChart, you can translate a set of values from these four sources into a chart format.

The GEOS desk accessory, geoDex, is a small filing system suitable for keeping names, addresses and other miscellaneous information together and available for instant recall. You can also use geoDex to create merge document forms and, when used with the geoMerge application, print phone lists or address labels quickly and easily.

geoFAX is the first program of it's kind ever developed for the Commodore 64 or 128. You now have the capability to exchange a fax document over the telephone lines with a facsimile machine or even another computer running it's own version of fax software.

geoFile is the GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System) based filing and data-base program.  A data-base is a way to organize large, or small amounts of information in such a manner that retrieving and sorting the information you want is easy, efficient, fast, and reliable.

geoGIF v1.1 is a GIF data stream to geoPaint file converter.  It uses and advanced dithering technique to produce excellent quality monochrome results.

CMD's geoMakeboot is probably the easiest way to make a backup of your MASTER disk.

geoMorph v1.0 - The basic ideal behind qeoMorph is to take two different photo Sraps and combine them in a qradual transformation to arrive at various combinations of the two images.  You start with a primary image and a secondary image and 'morph' the two together one frame at a time.  Any frame can be saved as a photo scrap and along with your photo manager, you can save them into an album for later use.  Use your imagination and have fun.

GEOS deskTop 1.5 Users Manual

GEOS Font Pack 1 provides you with 20 additional fonts for use in geoWrite and geoPaint.  These additional fonts, combined with the six from your original GEOS disk,  wil lallow you to generate a fantastic array of high quality printed output.  For example, this manual was produced using geoWrite and actual font printouts.

It is important to understand that the gateWay is more than a replacement deskTop, the gateWay represents a whole new philosophy of working with GEOS.  From the creation of a new boot disk, to disk drivers and the gateWay itself, you will perceive a new level of sophistication with GEOS.

GEOS v1.2 Before You Begin Note

Your new Graphic Environment Operating System (GEOS) ushers in a "whole new world" for your Commodore 64 or Commodore 128.  GEOS brings to you the power and ease of use that icons, windows, and pop-down menus provide. A simple click of the joystick is all it takes to get the job done.

GEOS v1.3 Upgrade Note

GEOS Version 2.0 Manual.

Your new Graphic Environment Operating System (GEOS) ushers in a whole new world for your Commodore 64,64c, or 128.  GEOS brings you the power and ease that icons, windows, and pull-down menus provide.  A simple keyboard command or click of your input device is all it takes to get the job done.

This new operating system comes about ten years after the release of GEOS 2.0.  If you've been a loyal GEOS user all along, then you've likely grown to appreciate the many nice features of GEOS and the common sense that went into the original development of it. 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.

Welcome to geoTheo, the first thesaurus written specifically for the GEOS environment. Unlike a traditional thesaurus in book format, where precious time is wasted thumbing through a long index, geoTheo gives
you nearly instant access to thousands of the most commonly used--and misused--synonyms by simply typing a word.

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.

Glass Tracks Manual

This guide is intended to help you learn how to use the SM COMPILER 128.  Even if you are an experienced programmer and are familiar with other compliers, you should review this guide thoroughly.  And always use it as a reference when writing a BASIC program that you intend to compile.

Congratulations!  You have just purchased one of the most valuable programs for your Commodore 64.  grafDOS was designed to both overcome some of the limitations of Commodore DOS and enhance the BASIC programming language primarily in the graphics area.  In general, to make life easier.
