zip3 Kwik-Load Manual

KWIK-LOAD! is a software utility program for the Commodore 64 or Executive 64 computer. It speeds up the way the disk drive reads information on a 5 1/4" floppy diskette. It will work with one or two Commodore 1541 disk drives. KWIK-COPY, a second program on the diskette, uses simple screen menus to guide you through otherwise complicated procedures. With KWIK-LOAD! and KWIK-COPY you can:

  • Load programs and data more than 300% faster;
  • Copy diskettes more than 300% faster;
  • Test your disk drive for proper operating speed;
  • Edit information on a diskette directly by track and sector;
  • Display and write diskette directory information in alphabetical order; and
  • Perform DOS (Disk Operating System) operations: format and validate disks, scratch and rename files.

Thanks to Anthony for providing this manual.  It's a bit rough because it's a scan of a photocopy, but I haven't seen it anywhere else on the net, so it's much appreciated.

zip31 Mirage Concepts Word Processor User's Manual

The MIRAGE WORD PROCESSOR was written during the first nine months of 1983 by professional programmers who had obtained Commodore 64 computers for home and recreational uses. Realizing the untapped potential of the machine, and the total void of strong application software available for it, these programmers set out to produce a series of programs which would rival those compatible with computers costing thousands of dollars more. Their guidelines were simple: make the programs powerful, practical, and easy-to-use, while keeping the price in a range deemed reasonable by users from all walks of life. We think they succeeded admirably in reaching these goals, and we think you'll agree!

You can find the program here.
