The MUSIC MACHINE cartridge you have purchased allows you to play your Commodore 64 computer like a musical instrument, using the music synthesizing capability of this computer. Your computer keyboard is
transformed into a synthesizer keyboard, complete with percussive accompaniment.

The cartridge has been designed with flexibility in mind. Rather than having the variety of musical tones being one of a number of preset selections, there are a number of parameters you can mix and match, allowing you many combinations of sound type, special effects, and keyboard playing style.

Welcome to the world of the MusiCalc 1: Synthesizer and Sequencer system. Even if you have no musical background. MusiCalc will allow you to sound like a one-person band within the first few minutes. But MusiCalc is also a professional musical instrument worthy of serious study and exploration. It provides many exciting and sophisticated sound synthesis and music composing features.

Oxford Pascal is an implementation of standard Pascal designed specifically for the Commodore 64.  It offers all the features of this powerful language with some useful enhancements for the personal computer user.

A new computer application has been making a splash recently: Desktop Publishing.  This means the complete creation of all kinds of printed matter (letters, advertising, brochures, invitations, etc.) on the computer, including the layout, variation of the fonts used, and the integration of graphics.  Although some conventional word-processing programs already offered such possibilities, there were many restrictions, and the final result was usually only seen when it was printed out.  In desktop publishing, on the other hand, you do the complete design on the screen and see the result there just as it will be printed out later.  WYSIWYG means in computers: “What you see is what you get”.

Translation from German by Robert Bernardo

PaperClip is designed for ease and simplicity in use, yet is powerful enough to tackle almost any wordprocessing job.  Many advanced features not found with micro-computer wordprocessors are incorporated in PaperClip.  The result is a document which reads better, being created in less time.

Congratulations on your purchase of Paperclip III, the word processor that turns your Commodore into an all-purpose writing tool. Before personal computers, the best that a writer could hope for was a self-correcting typewriter, a two-ribbon device that could type backwards over errors and "lift" them off the page. Before self-correcting typewriters, writers had to keep a stock of correction fluid to white out their errors. And before that, pencils with erasers were a popular item for those who didn't always get it right the first time.

The personal computer has changed all that forever. Your Commodore, powered by PaperClip III, is a multi-function media center, able not only to correct errors quickly and easily, but to check spelling, to cut and paste blocks of text from one place to another, to create footers and headers, and to carry out a multitude of other tasks. And because PaperClip can do all this, you will be able to spend more time creating your masterpieces,
and less time dealing with the mechanics of organizing your thoughts on paper.

If you'd like to create eye-catching layouts, but don't enjoy playing with scissors and glue, PaperClip Publisher has the solution. This powerful page layout program for the Commodore 64 lets you combine text from your favorite word processor and graphics from your favorite drawing program to create almost any layout you can think up.

PARTNER 64 is a cartridge-based program that plugs into your Commodore 64 computer, giving you access to eight convenient “accessories" while you run other programs. You can call up these accessories any time you use another program.

PARTNER suspends the existing program in your computer while you use any of its accessories. When you are through, you can return to the exact point in the software program where you left off. Accessories
at your command include:

• Swiftload — Allows your Commodore 1541 disk drive to load programs up to five times faster.
• Calculator —A multi-function calculator which can print to your printer to provide a “paper tape“ of your calculations.
• Memo Pad — Lets you write yourself important notes and save them on disk or write memos to others and print them out.
• Appointment Calendar — Keeps track of appointments and, at the press of a key, provides for a review by the day, week, or month. Months may be viewed in their entirety in a traditional calendar format, with appointments marked for your attention.
• Address List and Auto-Dialer — Keeps track of important names, addresses, and phone numbers. At your command, the computer will search through your list for the number you want and dial the number for you automatically, if you have an auto-dial modem.
• Phone List and Auto-Dialer — Keeps track of your most frequently called phone numbers and even lets you write a memo about each one, perhaps a person’s business title or a best-timeto-reach comment. Will interface with an auto-dial modem.
• Screen Print — With just the press of a key, you can print the text from your computer display even while using another program. SwiftDOS/Printer Commands — Allows you to access Commodore disk drive commands and to enter printer codes. Use this feature to format a disk, erase a data file, or enter printer codes for a special typeface.
• SwiftLock — Prevents tampering with your unattended computer program. Enter a key sequence before you walk away, and the keyboard will be locked until you re-enter your personal code.
• Typewriter—A unique printing feature that turns your computer and printer into a traditional typewriter. Just the thing for turning out a quick envelope.

What is Pascal? Pascal is a Modern programming language developed by a Swiss professor (Dr. Niklaus Wirth) as a teaching language for structured programming. It quickly became popular for both teaching and commercial applications. Even among personal computers, Pascal has become a dominating language, loosening BASIC'S hold as the "standard" microcomputer langage. In many schools, Pascal is the standard for information processing and structured programming courses. Now Pascal is available for the most popular of home computers - the Commodore 64.

Your POWER ASSEMBLER actually encompasses two standalone machine-language development systems for the Commodore 64 and three for the Commodore 128 (in 40-column mode). One uses the BASIC editor (enhanced by string SEARCH & REPLACE commands) for writing its memory-based source and the other its own powerful ASCII editor. For the Commodore 128, there is also a complete Z/80 (CP/M microprocessor) cross-assembler which has all the powerful commands and features of the other two programs. 

As you probably know, POWER PLAN is a "spreadsheet". All types of calculations may be carried out with the aid of POWER PLAN. As an example of a calculation, let's calculate the selling price for an item based on the specified cost price. This is a calculation which a retailer has to make every day.

The cost price of an article is a combination of various factors. The most significant ones are the actual cost price, the additional costs (rent, etc.) and the retailer's profit margin. To calculate the selling price, the retailer needs various implements. For example, a sheet of paper, a pencil and in most cases, a pocket calculator. In this case you can already see that it is very sensible to use a computer for these calculations, as it offers advantages in a number of ways.

With suitable software, the computer is able to replace the above-mentioned implements. And you have this software right in your hands.

POWER PLAN not only replaces these implements, but offers you many other advantages.

Welcome to the POWER 64 system! POWER 64 adds new capability to your Commodore 64 computer. With POWER 64, you'll write programs better, faster and more easily. Your Basic programs will test and debug more conveniently; and changes and updates become a snap.

The first thing you'll notice about the POWER 64 system Is Its cursor action. Not only do cursor movements repeat automatically; they seem to reach beyond the screen to dig out program lines above and below the screen Itself.

Next, you'll spot the 'Instant keywords'. Tapping a single (shifted) key can produce a complete Basic keyword to speed your programming and perhaps Improve your spelling. More: you can define a single key to mean anything you like: a complete line of Basic, If you like. Even this isn't the limit of what you can do with a single key: one key can Invoke a whole subroutine of activity!
