zip3 Handic Forth 64 User's Guide & Reference Manual

C64-FORTH is a fourth-generation programming language that in many respects is very different from other lanquages. In relation to its size, its power is unequalled. In just 8K, a typical minicomputer FORTH version supplies structured, compact and extremely fast code, virtual memory, a resident macro assembler and a resident editor, as well as multitasking capability. FORTH is even able to extend itself and its compiler. It is a metalanguage.

pdf20 ICE BBS v1.1 Manual

This manual was written by Eric Green on a Commodore 128 using Steve Punter's WordPro-128, and printed using a Star NX-10 printer and Xetec Supergraphix interface. The daisywheel printer used in previous renditions has been discarded because of its extremely slow speed, and its problems with dealing with ASCII characters (due to its Brother typewriter heritage).

The general style of the manual is to use headings offset into the margins to denote each major topic. Areas that denote interaction with the BBS are offset to the right, with user-entered text underlined to differentiate it from things printed by the BBS.

In our opinion, WordPro-128 is the most versatile word processor for the C-128. However, it has one rather pesky problem when dealing with illustrations.* It does not contain commands for a "floating" illustration area, thus our charts and tables are rather clumsily inserted. When we can afford to purchase a computer capable of supporting a real typesetting program such as Donald Knuth’s TeX program (which he used to typeset his masterpiece The Art of Computer Programming), such as an Amiga, that technical problem shall be resolved.

pdf23 Infiltrator Disassembler v1.0 Reference Manual

Infiltrator Disassembler v1.0 Manual by Gerald Hinder.

Quote from the Introduction:

Once upon a time everyone was eager to find sprites, bitmaps, music or code somewhere in the RAM. Yea, we used the “Action Replay” and other cheat technology to get what we wanted. Infiltrator comes with those basic functionalities including some hopefully nice updates.

The disassembler uses forward interpretation with all the implied problems of this method. The basic concept is to process the complete memory, that´s why you can import PRG files as well as VICE snapshot files. Using VICE snapshots will naturally result in a lot of false interpretations. The included set of tools and methods may help you to master them.

zip25 Insta Speed (BASIC Compiler) Manual

INSTA-SPEED is a BASIC compiler for the CBM 64. The programs originate in the United Kingdom and are improved and upgraded versions of DTL BASIC COMPILER, developed for Commodore business computers.

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.

INSTA-SPEED has been specially optimized for the CBM 64 and it not only makes every BASIC program a lot faster but will also make each program significantly smaller, except for programs with only a few lines.

INSTA-SPEED is 100% compatible with CBM 64 BASIC. This means that any existing 8ASIC program can be compiled without any alteration, to produce a program that peforms exactly the same, and yet is much faster and requires less memory and disk space.

INSTA-SPEED is designed so that it can be people with no programming knowledge to existing programs. Yet for more experienced range of facilities is provided to enable potential of the CBM 64 to be realized.

pdf27 Isepic v1.0 Manual

ISEPIC (SAY "ice-pick") is an extraordinary hardware and software combination that is capable of copying virtually all memory-resident software regardless of the original protection scheme or storage medium. Rather than duplicating disks or cassette tapes, ISEPIC copies the program to disk as it runs in the Commodore's memory, thus creating a "snapshot" image of the entire RAM, I/O, and CPU status. This snapshot is
completely unprotected and subject to modification by the user. From this image, ISEPIC can create a compact, auto-booting file which will often load ten times faster and eliminate many of the problems created
by various protection schemes. Because of this unprotected format, it is possible to store many programs on a single disk as well as transfer them to a hard drive or a device other than a 1541.
