The Commodore 128 provides a very powerful and friendly editor for BASIC programs.  Unfortunately, certain features which are normally regarded as essential in a programmers' editor have unaccountably been omitted by CBM.  In particular, there is no way on the 128 to find a string in a BASIC program much less to search for and replace one string by another.

The HACK-PACK toolkit attempts to fill this need.  Once loaded, the HACK-PACK toolkit fits unobtrusively into an area at the top of RAM in bank 0.  From this elevated position it provides the programmer with a number of totally new editing features.  The HACK-PACK toolkit does not waste memory by providing nonsense commands that no one ever uses such as BEEP and FLASH!  Instead it adds to BASIC eight really useful commands, all designed to improve programming efficiency and productivity.

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.

Your Commodore 64 will HELP You learn BASIC programming.

This is the manual for a programming aid called "HELP 128 Plus C 64" by Print Technik.  The following is from the manual:

HELP 128 PLUS C 64 is a modul to make programming and checking of own programs easier. It will be delivered as a Cartridge-modul. This modul must be inserted in the CARTRIDGE EXPANSIONS SLOT after you have switched off the Commodore. After inserting and turning on again the Computer you will see on the monitor the normaly SWITCH ON picture and the statement PRINT-TECHNIK HELP 128 PLUS 64, or " * PRINT-TECHNIK HELP C64 PLUS * "

This program allows you to enter text Program Commands into the computer via the computer keyboard, then edit and format the text before printing it.

HESMON 64 is a Machine Language Monitor for the Commodore 64.

Graphics BASIC gives you and your Commodore 64 a powerful extended BASIC.  You have over 100 new commands and features combining incredible power and flexibility with simplicity and readability.

This program is designed to give the user the ability to create detailed drawings and sketches.  There are basically two different types of CAD packages. The first type is based on bit mapped graphics. This means that all data entered into the program is stored in the bit mapped screen display.  The accuracy of the final product is therefore, limited to the resolution of your computer's display.  The second type, which includes this program, is object oriented.  In this type program, the data is stored in the form of individual lines, circles and text strings, not pixels to be turned on and off.  The drawing seen on the screen is a representation of this data scaled to whatever view the user has selected.  When you magnify or "zoom in on" an area in the first type of program,your display will consist of "fat" dots representing the bit, map. In this program, "zooming in" will actually increase the resolution of the area in question.

The Home Inventory package consists of two (2) parts designed to run on the minimum VIC to simplify the process of generating an inventory of the contents of your home.  Although this package is called Home Inventory, it can also be used for an inventory of your store or office, securities and financial holdings, personal library, etc. Its applications are unlimited.

The Home-Office Writer is a powerful word processor which speeds up your ability to write letters, reports and other text documents.

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.

INQUIRE PAC is designed to be user friendly for both the computer novice as well as the seasoned expert. It allows for the manipulation of up to 200 individual records with up to 15 distinct fields of information ranging from 1 character up to 250 characters.

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.

Congratulations! you have just purchased the fastest, most versatile EDITOR ASSEMBLER on the market. lEA is capable of assembling up to 17k source fiIes in less then 4 seconds.
