1. Hi, thank you for your precious job. Why is impossible to download the files? Thank you and good work.

   • Thank you, which files are you referring to? All of them or just a few? And what do you do to download the files? Left click on the download link on the main page, or in the “more info” lightbox?

2. Tasword 64 manual is a bit of a mess. Pages 17, 18 and 27 are missing. Pages 19,20 duplicated. Among others.

   • Thanks for the report, I’ll see if I can dig out the manual again, and see if it’s a scanned problem or if my original manual is like this.

   • I’ve checked up on my manual, and it is indeed as scanned.
     Double sets of pages 19-20, and 25-26. So the printing company has made an error.
     Thanks again for the repport.

3. Yes, I’ve searched all over for a manual and you seem to be the only place that has one. I’m mucking around putting together game docs disks in 80 column text to upload somewhere for everyone. I’m making disks that boot straight to Tasword with instructions screen already loaded and the disk full of docs for each game I make them for. Original manuals, walkthroughs, cheats, pokes, and sometimes some magazine articles. I do them as a disk, and also as a folder for sd2iec that people can just copy to their game directory. I found a very easy way to convert any of the pc txt files to Tasword, and hardly have to do any edits at all to have a nice looking 80 col doc on the c64. I figure a lot of people would like to have them,

   • There are several places that would accept these disks, CSDB and TOSEC are good places to start and I can also make them available through the download section here if you want.

     • Yeah, I’m slow putting them together, just something I’m doing instead of watching netflix or other useless stuff. Where can I send you a example disk image to see if you like them. I do them as a bit of a joke on myself. I am Ozstu/lamesthacks. Home of the lamest hacks in the world. And my disk always come with a lamer docs file LOL For all the other lamers.

       I’ll send you my batman one that I’m just finishing off. It’s got the ocean manual for batman the movie, and a list of pokes for those using non cracked copy, and it’s got an all in one doc file for the caped crusader batman game, with manual for part 1 and 2, as well as solution walkthrough, and pokes. Also got an article off the net dug up about the history of batman in video games. And of course, the lamer docs file 🙂 and an about this disk file which just has a list of files and their contents that are on the disk. I just have to find a solution/walkthrough file for batman the movie and it’s complete. I thought about putting a picture viewer on there too, and maps…….maybe later on later disks. I’m a lamer, I have to rack my brains to come up with ways to do everything.

       Also, I may have made my Tasword docs obsolete already. I have the ide64 cart, and on there is a great file manager with plugins for every type of file you can imagine, including pc ascii text files. I’ve made a little hack of the plugin module that reads pc ascii text files so that it will start up from another program, or from the run command from basic. So it can be launched from a file manager like fb or sdbrowse or nav96. It streams the file from disk as you scroll, and can view text files up to 2 meg in size. All ascii characters come out perfect, backslashes etc. It works slower of course on sd2iec then it does on ide64, but it’s very useable. I thought about using the jpg plugin for maps, but no way, on anything but the ide64, it would take forever lol So I’m thinking, if there is a program that can render c64 images larger then the screen, and scroll them I might make some maps and stuff to put on the disks too.
