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!!
