Hi Everyone, Not sure how active this place is, but I've been reminiscing about my youth with my Commodore 128, and have a paper I drew up about a piece of software I wrote back in 1987. It's in PDF form, and you can read it by downloading it from here: www.apatco.com/downloads/orderbook128.pdfThought it might be interesting to some of you, if not just ignore. lol Gord

Wow I was just expecting some reminiscing / summary about your software. This was like (almost) full-blown documentation! Although it isn't true software documentation, it seems similar (or better) than the crap provided with modern Micro$oft products. I couldn't read through all of it in detail, but thanks for sharing! If it makes you feel better, I also wanted to use REL files back in the days but always got stumped by technical difficulties

Thanks for the reply. I started out just making a few notes for myself so I wouldn't forget the events from so long ago, and one thing lead to another, and it got quite out of hand. :-)

A lot of info in there! You must be as bored as the rest of us 😁 Nice work, clean. Lol, yes that is for sure. Being stuck at home gives me nothing better to do than dig out all my old equipment, and play. When I came across that software, I couldn't believe how little I could remember about it, and with no documentation, I thought it would be fun to reminisce. Thanks for the comment!
