geoNEWS Issue 13 (September 1992) - Supplement Disk by Digi-Clips.

This is a double sided disk with some really great Clipart on Side B as you can see from the screen shots, but side A contains a super cool feature you can add to your GEOS startup that will play .RAW sound clips during boot-up of GEOS.  There are many sample clips to choose from along with the AutoRAW GEOS program to play the sounds.  In addition to that, there is also two versions of DigiPlayer that you can use to check out .RAW files without needing to boot into GEOS.  But that's not all, there is also a program called "RawToGEOS" included that lets you convert your own sound clips into .RAW files.  Complete documentation is included for the various programs on the disk.

Big thanks to Bruce Thomas for sharing this unique GEOS treasure. 

Print Photo Album 2.5 by Dave Hunter (8/22/87) - This program is really handy to get a printout of all the images in a photo album for reference sake.  One of the nice features is that you can number the images so when you use the GEOS Photo Manager or SraPeek you can skip right to the correct image.

Note - Although the program information still has this listed as v1.1, I can assure you it isn't.  V1.1 would not process v2.0 Photo Albums, but this one does.

VIP Terminal by Dan Nelson & Brian Lundgren (1984) - Finally found a full non-adulterated version of this terminal program for the Commodore 64. Thanks go to James who sent this along with the Lane County C.U.G. disks. The cool thing about this program is that it did 80 columns way back in 1984.  Full documentation is included on the disk and accessible from inside the program.

One thing to note - you can only copy this by doing a full disk copy as there is hidden directory entries. 

GEOS Scrap Book #22 - Thanks to Baracuda for sending over a bunch of GEOS disks with various photo albums.  This disk contains cartoons, medical, money and vehicle related images with a total of 236 unique images to use in your next geoPublish newsletter!

ScraPeek 3.4 by Ed Flinn (May, 1989) - This handy GEOS utility lets you look through a photo album or scrapbook sequentially or by jumping to the number of the graphics item you're looking for.  ScraPeek supports both GEOS 64 and GEOS 128 (40 & 80 columns).

Lane County C.U.G. Disk of the Month - December 1998.  This is a double sided disk with a little of everything:

Quick Sheet by Jeffrey L. Jones is a very simple Commodore 64 program that is type of spreadsheet that lets you budget your money. 

Full help is included in the program.

Amortize 128 by S.D. Gillett (January 17, 1994) is a loan amortization program for the Commodore 128 (in 80 column mode).

This program uses the fast mode of the C-128. Thus, it runs only in 80 column mode. That is just as well, as when building an amortization table, the 40 column screen is just too narrow to display the desired
amount of information.

AMORTIZE grew from an earlier program which was released as PAYMENT. The user still has the option of only determining the monthly payment amount on a loan, as with payment. Added are options to view an
amortization table on screen, or to send the amortization table to the printer.

Full documentation is included on the disk.

Car Expense Manager v3.1 by Dico-Soft is a complete car expense tracking system for the Commodore 128 (Needs both 80 & 40 column modes).  With this software, not only can you track your usual costs like repairs, gas, miscellaneous, you can also track mileage which in turn will let you get graphs of your costs over time.

** You need to load this programs with DLOAD and not the normal LOAD.

Dick Estel was a GEOS fanatic and lover of all things Font related. He created his Font Resource Directory so others could get the benefit of his obsession. I doubt there is anyone else with the GEOS Font knowledge that Dick has.

Dick began printing his GEOS fonts in 1989 and, while he tried to discontinue the FRD at numerous times, more fonts kept on coming. Supplement 14 declared it was The Final Supplement taking the FRD to Page 516. While none of the Fontastic Newsletters are dated, I know that there was at least one more update.

Although I don't have a Fontastic #15 Newsletter the final envelope I have from Dick is postmarked June 11, 1996. My FRD binder goes to Page S-520 with Pilaga, Darleen, Supra Pilaga, Supra Darleen, and Urubu being the final fonts. These fonts do not appear in the alphabetized index.

Versions of the included PDF's appear on the geoSpecific GEOS PD/Shareware CD that is available on the lyonlabs GEOS site.

I have recently re-scanned the FontMania! columns and the Fontastic Newsletters as the original scans were poorly done - perhaps reduced to keep the CD size down.

One day I may rescan the entire FRD collection but for now it does present all the fonts in readable format.

Thank you Bruce for this amazing collection of PDF's highlighting Dick Estel's work to organize and publish the innumerable GEOS fonts available.  I've included some screenshots of just a few of the PDF's in this archive, there is so much content, you'll need to download and examine for yourself.
