zip11 Pagefox Manual

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”.

pdf13 Paperclip III Manual

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.

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.

  • Memo Pad — Lets you write yourself important notes and save them on disk or write memos to others and print them out.

  • 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.

pdf16 Pascal 64 (Abacus)

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.

zip28 Power Plan 64 Manual

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.
