                        BY ╩OHN ╧AKS


╧NE O╞ THE NICE FEATURES OF ├╨/═ IS ITS TRANSPORTABILITY.
THAT IS, A PROGRAM WRITTEN ON ONE BRAND OF COMPUTER CAN
OFTEN BE USED ON ANOTHER BRAND.  ╞OR EXAMPLE, MANY OF THE
PROGRAMS ON THE LIBRARIES OUTSIDE OF THE ├OMMODORE
LIBRARY #34, WILL RUN WITH LITTLE OR NO MODIFICATION
ON THE ├OMMODORE MACHINE.

***********************************************************

╔N PART ONE, WE LOOKED AT THE PROGRAMS IN LIBRARIES ONE
TO TEN.    ╔N PART TWO, WE WILL LOOK AT THE PROGRAMS IN
LIBRARIES ELEVEN THROUGH TWENTY-FIVE.  ╘HESE INCLUDE SUCH THINGS
AS WORD PROCESSING, GAMES, AND  LANGUAGES.

╘HE NEXT  LIBRARY WE WILL LOOK AT IS LIBRARY 11, DISK UTILITIES.
AMONG   THE  MANY  PROGRAMS  IN  THIS  LIBRARY  IS  FILE#   6071,
PGPRINT.LBR.  ╘HIS  VERY  HANDY PROGRAM PRINTS OUT DOC  FILES  WITH
PAGE HEADINGS, AUTOMATIC PAGE NUMBERING AND PAUSING BETWEEN PAGES.

╠IBRARY  12 CONTAINS WORD PROCESSING TOOLS AND  ACCESSORIES.  ╘HERE
ARE A NUMBER OF WORDSTAR UTILITY PROGRAMS SUCH AS SPELL CHECKERS
AND THE LIKE.  ╘HERE ALSO A NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT PROGRAMS LIKE
FILE# 4846, A SIMPLE BUT EFFIECENT OUTLINER.  ╔T USES WORDSTAR
LIKE COMMANDS AND IS QUITE SIMPLE TO USE.

╠IBRARY 13 CONTAINS THE EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE.  ╘HERE ARE PROGRAMS
TO HELP WITH MATH, FOREIGN LANGUAGE, AND ONE ╔ ESPECIALLY LIKED,
FILE# 1890, A TYPING TUTOR!!


╠IBRARY 14 CONTAINS THE FORTH LANGUAGE,  EDITOR,  AND  ASSOCIATED
PROGRAMS.  ╧F  THE DOZEN OR SO LANGUAGES ╔ HAVE TRIED,  THIS IS THE
MOST UNUSUAL.  ┬E SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE DOCS.

╠IBRARY 15 IS THE GAME LIBRARY.  ╘HERE ARE A NUMBER OF GEMS HERE.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE COLOSSIAL CAVE ADVERTURE,
FILE# 5495 IS THE SMALLER OF THE TWO.  ╔T IS A FASCINATING
TEXT ADVERTURE TYPE GAME.  ╔T IS A LARGE DOWNLOAD,  SO HAVE LOTS OF
ROOM ON YOUR DISK.  ╞ILE# 2447 IS A ╙TARTREK ADVENTURE GAME.  ╘HERE
IS ALSO A TRIVIA GAME FILE# 3468.  ┘OU MIGHT WANT TO NOTE THAT
SEVERAL OF THE TEXT GAMES REQUIRE YOU TO USE UPPERCASE LETTERS
FOR INPUT.  ┴ NUMBER OF GRAPHIC GAMES IN THIS LIBRARY ARE ALSO
├OMMODORE COMPATIBLE.  ┴AMONG THESE ARE FILE# 5067, A FULL SCREEN
BACKGAMMON GAME; #3988, A LADDER GAME; #827, A PACMAN TYPE GAME;
AND #554, A ┌80 CHESS GAME.  ╘HERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF MBASIC
GAMES.  ╘HESE HAVE A .BAS, OR .BZS EXTENTION.  ┘OU WILL NEED
MBASIC TO RUN THESE.  ╔ FOUND MOST THE *.COM GAMES RAN
WITH LITTLE PROBLEM.

╠IBRARY  16  IS  THE MUSIC AND GRAPHIC LIBRARY.  ╞ILE#  5420  IS  A
BANNER  PROGRAM  THAT  MAKES  LARGE LETTERS  ON  THE  SCREEN  AND
PRINTER.  ╔T WORKS WITH ├OMMODORE 1525 COMPATIBLE PRINTERS AND
PROBABLY OTHERS.

╠IBRARIES  17 AND 18 ARE PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF  ALL  THE
LIBRARIES WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT.  ╘HEY ARE THE HELP AND INFORMATION
LIBRARIES.  ╚ERE YOU CAN FIND HELP ON ALMOST ANY ASPECT OF ├╨/═.
┼VEN IF YOU ARE WELL VERSED IN ├╨/═, THEY ARE WORTH A LOOK.

╠IBRARY 19 CONTAINS LIBRARY UTILITIES, SUCH AS UNARC, NULU,
AND THE LIKE.  ┴N INTERESTING PROGRAM IS FILE# 6381, LDIR14.LBR,
WHICH LISTS THE PROGRAMS AND FORMATS IN LIBRARY FILES.

╠IBRARY 20 CONTAINS MODEM, RCPM, BBS, AND OTHER TELECOMMUNICATION
PROGRAMS AND UTILITIES.  ╨ROGRAMS SUCH AS IMP, KERMIT, AND MEX
ARE FOUND HERE.  ╨LEASE NOTE THAT MOST OF THESE PROGRAMS NEED TO
BE INSTALLED ON THE ├OMMODORE WITH THE OVERLAYS ALSO FOUND IN
THIS LIBRARY (ALREADY INSTALLED VERSIONS CAN BE FOUND IN THE
COMMODORE LIBRARY).

╠IBRARY 21 IS DEVOTED TO THE MODULA 2 LANGUAGE.  ┘OU DO NOT NEED TO
HAVE OR KNOW MODULA 2 TO RUN ALL THE PROGRAMS HOWEVER.  ╞ILE# 6024,
GRAPH1.LBR FOR EXAMPLE, IS AN EXECUTABLE GRAPH PROGRAM THAT MAKES
BAR AND LINE GRAPHS FROM WORDSTAR OR VDE OR OTHER FILES.

╠IBRARY 22 CONTAINS TEXT FILES ABOUT PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENTS.
HERE YOU WILL FIND INFORMATION ON MSDOS EMULATORS AND OTHER
├╨/═ PRODUCTS

╠IBRARY 23 CONTAINS LANGUAGE PROGRAMS.  ┴MONG OTHERS IS FILE# 2459,
COBOL21.ARK A WORKING COBOL PROGRAM.

╙PEAKING  OF LANGUAGES,  ╠IBRARY 24 IS THE PASCAL ╠IBRARY.  ╧NE  OF
THE MOST IMPORTAND PROGRAMS HERE IS FILE# 2851, THE TURBO INSTALL
PROGRAM.  ╘HIS  IS  A VERY EASY TO USE,  MENU DRIVEN  PROGRAM  THAT
ALLOWS YOU TO INTALL TURBO PASCAL PROGRAMS TO RUN ON ├OMMODORE
AND OTHER MACHINES.  ╩UST CHOOSE ┴─═3 TERMINAL TYPE.  ╞ILE# 3874
IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE AMMORTORIZATION PROGRAM.  ╞ILE# 3826 IS
A LARGE DIGITAL CLOCK PROGRAM.  ┘OU DO NOT NEED PASCAL TO RUN
THESE, BUT YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE TURBO INSTALL PROGRAM
TO INSTALL THEM.

╠IBRARY 25 IS THE PRINTER UTILITY LIBRARY.  ═OST OF THE PROGRAMS
ARE PRETTY PRINTER SPECIFIC, WITH EPSON AND GEMINI CARRYING
A LOT OF WEIGHT.  ╞ILE# 3327, CPMSDW.LBR IS A PROGRAM TO PRINT A
FILE  SIDEWAYS.  ┴S  IS,  THE  PROGRAM WORKS ON  EPSON  OR  GEMINI
PRINTERS.  ╘HE AUTHOR INCLUDED THE 'C' SOURCE CODE HOWEVER SO
IT COULD BE MODIFIED TO WORK ON MOST OTHER PRINTERS, ASSUMING
OF COURSE YOU HAVE A 'C' COMPILER.

╫ELL,  THAT  WILL  WRAP UP THIS SESSION.  ╫E WILL COVER  THE  FINAL
LIBRARIES, 26 THROUGH 38 IN THE NEXT ISSUE.
╒NTIL THEN,  ╚APPY ├OMPUTING!!
