- Greetings fellow CP/M users! In our final part of this
- article, we will be discussing libraries 26 through 39. Although
- many of these libraries are dedicated to specific machines and
- systems, there are a few interesting programs as well as helpful
- text files.
- Libraries 26 and 27 are both text oriented
- libraries. Library 26 contains lists of RCP/M and BBS groups that
- are catagorized by city, area code, intrest,and related means.
- Library 27 has user reviews of various software and
- hardware products.
- Library 28 is, in my opinion, one of the
- most useful outside of our own Commodore library. It contains
- files with multiple collections of programs. Be sure and download
- files 4879 and 4880, which contain catalogs of the
- different disks.
- Library 29 contain squeeze and unsqueeze
- programs. Most of the major ones can be found already in the
- Commodore library.
- Library 30 is the spreadsheet library. It
- contains templates as well as some powerful utility programs for
- both SuperCalc and Perfect Calc, both commercial spreadsheet
- programs. It also contains Chalk21.ark, file #2458, a well
- written public domain spreadsheet. Although it lacks the power
- and speed of SuperCalc and Perfect Calc, it will get you started
- with a spreadsheet, and it is, free.
- Library 31 has enhanced versions of system utilities as well
- as submit andrelated files. This is a rather large library,
- and anyone looking for a little extra for their system utilities
- will probably find it here.
- Libraries 32 and 33 are for owners of TurboDos and
- ZCPR3 systems, respectively.
- Library 34 is, of course, our own beloved Commodore Library.
- The sysop, Bill Juliani is a very knowledgeable and helpful person.
- The next three libraries, 35, 36, and 37 are for the Apple,
- Kaypro, and Visual-1050 systems.
- Although some of the Kaypro programs work on the
- Commodore system including a wordstar like wordprocessor, similar
- ones can be found in theCommodore library.
- The final library (library 39 representing all libraries)
- is called unclassified [everything else]. It contains CP/M
- emulators that run under the MSDOS environment, a few "computer
- for sale" ads, and other miscellaneous programs.
- One final note, one of the best sources for CP/M information
- and help is the CP/M RTC every Wednesday night at 10:00 EST.
- It is a friendly open discussions that always welcomes newcomers
- and experts alike. If you ever get a chance, try to drop in.
- Until we meet again,
- HAPPY COMPUTING!!
