Commodore-64 Programmer's Library with D64 Disk Images

Click the Buy-It-Now button and complete your purchase/payment, I'll mail the CD with all the files as soon as possible after receiving payment. Payment by PayPal is preferred. No extra shipping for additional copies or when combined with my other CDs. If combining CDs, please wait for my updated invoice with combined shipping charges before sending payment.

This information is now being provided via mail on a CD-ROM here on eBay but if you're in a hurry and would prefer to download the files instead, you can click here to take a look at my website for more details along with information on my CDTV Burn-In #2 Test CD-ROM, my Commodore Hong Kong Amiga Production Line Photos on CD-ROM from 1992 and my Computer Industry NEW PRODUCT NEWS Archive CD-ROM that are also available.

So what is this and what's included?

Some time ago I came across the original printed manuscript for this package and decided to scan the material into an Acrobat (.pdf) file and make it available again to anyone interested. Note that you will need a copy of the Acrobat Reader to view or print the text files in this package. Plus you'll need the D64 software to recreate the three original 1541 floppies.

Since the original printed copy was created with a dot matrix printer, the scanned images are not ideal but easily readable on screen or in printed form. If interested, you can click here to view a sample article to see how it looks. Since the listings were originally printed on continuous fan-feed paper, the bottom line of some pages are not totally readable in the scanned images so I've added notes on those pages to help clarify the missing line(s).

Standard D64 disk images of the three original program disks are included, so you'll have copies of all the original text files if you want to reprint them. You'll also have all the loadable program files as well.

This is a collection of may different ideas written over several years so there is no specific theme to this package. However, I tried to organize the material into useful sections that hopefully make it easier to digest.
