Buddy 64/128 Development System actually encompasses three stand-alone machine language development systems. There are two for writing 8500 (the system microprocessor) code : One uses the Basic editor (enhanced by string search and replace commands) for writing its memory based source and the other its own powerful ASCII editor . There is also a complete Z/80 ( C/PM microprocessor) cross assembler which has all the powerful commands and features of the other two. As a bonus there is also an assembler completely compatible with Pro-Line's C-POWER shell, editor, linker and ramdisk.

Thanks Anthony for providing this manual.

You are about to enter a whole new world that you never knew existed! Since you have purchased this manual, you are probably already a C-Net 64 Sysop who loves to run a BBS, but now comes the opportunity to add your own personal touches by modifying your system the way YOU want it! This manual was written to make it as easy as possible to change the C-Net v12 program to do what you want it to, and the way that you want it to do it! If you have a working knowledge of Commodore BASIC, along with this guide, there is no reason that you cannot write your own program modules, (hereafter referred to as "P-files" ), and modifications to suit your own, and your user's tastes!

Welcome to the worId of telecommunlcations on your Commodore 64 - C-Net BBS is, in our opinion the most sophisticated bulletin board system available for your Commodore 64. Please take the time to completely read through the introduction and set-up procedures oriented chapters of this manual before attempting to operate the program--that will help to insure a successful configuration the first time. Once C-Net is configured and operating properly, you will likely not require any further assistance from this text for the basic operation of the program. The balance of this manual has been provided however, to detail all of the many intricate features of the system waiting to be discovered! 

C-Net DS-2 BBS Manual - Apologize for the low quality of this scan, I'm sure it has a lot to do with the original source material, but if you zoom in enough it's totally readable.  If I run across a better version, I'll be sure to post it.

C-Net v10.0 Docs (1986 Perspective Software / Ken Pletzer) recovered by Bucko! - This has been requested for a long time, and unfortunately it's not a PDF nor a complete archive (few pages missing towards the end).  Bucko downloaded this in 1987 from a BBS, and for whatever reason, it isn't quite complete.  We are still sincerely thankful to Bucko for providing this from his archive.

Oh, guess I forgot to mention that this is a .d81 disk image with several Commodore .SEQ text files, which I'm sure you gathered from the screen shots.

Welcome to C*BASE v3.0! This program is the culmination of many years of work and effort not only from the author but from all the people that have supported C*BASE over the years. From modifying other BBS programs a long time ago, to 1.0s release many years ago, to 2.0s creation last year, and to 3.0s release in 1991, C*BASE has always progressed at a steady and fast pace! And now this is a result of that work.

Before getting into setting up the system, a few things should be said. First as stated earlier, read the documentation thoroughly! The documentation was not written so that it could be haphazardly skimmed. A good sysop always wants to understand what he is running anyway so please READ THIS DOCUMENTATION.
