Hi all,
Great virtual gathering yesterday!
You might recall (from my earlier note, below) that Dan G. and I are on a
mission to preserve as many versions of the DSI Paperback / Pocket software
for C-64 and C-128 as possible. We have had good luck - thanks to all who
loaned us original disks for imaging. Dan and I have also managed to
purchase a few originals from eBay.
There are still some we're looking for though. If you can help, please let
me know!
Paperback Filer 64 v1.20
Paperback Planner 64 v1.20
Paperback Writer 64 v1.00 and v1.20
Pocket Planner 64 v1.20
Paperback Filer 128 v1.00 and v1.20
Paperback Planner 128 v1.20
Paperback Writer 128 v1.00
Pocket Planner 128 v1.20
You'll note that the v1.20 timeframe had near duplicates - essentially
identical except for the name/branding change from Paperback to Pocket.
Thanks,
--Kent

Subject: [torontocbm] Want to borrow: Original productivity software from
DSI
Greetings,
As you may recall, I'm on a mission to archive original C-64/128
productivity titles from DSI. DSI made the Paperback and Pocket series. The
copy protection was extremely nasty. Back in the day, a SuperCard+ and / or
RAMboard plus a special Maverick copier were required to attempt making a
duplicate disk. Fortunately, SuperCard Pro does a nice job of making
archival images and .G64s that work reliably in VICE.
All of the images I have made are posted on DLH's Bombjack site. Brian Green
of Particles BBS recently loaned me some pristine original disks that
produced several more clean images, which DLH has now posted. All of the
Paperback images are here

and the Pocket images are here
