Downloadable Disk Images - Programs on the Business disk
Here are a few business applications, lead by the daddy of them all, Visicalc. A few of my own humble efforts also appear on this disk.
| Name (and filename) | Description | What to type at the dos prompt |
| Visicalc
v 1.20z (vc/cmd) includes supplementary programs visiset/cmd, visisrt/bas and visicon/cmd |
The spreadsheet program that at last got business to take
microcomputers seriously. The famous Visicalc. By Software Arts (1980) |
vc/cmd |
| Tally Master | A spreadsheet-type program by Prosoft (1983) | tally/cmd |
| Home Accountant (budget/bas) | My own programming effort. I wrote this both to teach myself BASIC and organise our own home finances. (1983) | basic run"budget/bas" |
| General Database (dbase/bas) | Another one of mine, which uses a lot of the same code as the one above. A generic database program. (1984). I actually submitted this to Micro-80 but by that time it had all been done before, and the System-80 use was fading fast. | basic run"dbase/bas" |
| General Ledger (ledger/bas) | A third effort of mine. A generic ledger program. | basic run"ledger/bas" |
| Personal Bill Paying (accounts/bas) |
A small program to keep track of those household bills. By Instant Software, (1979) | basic run"accounts/bas" |
| Cost Analysis (costanly/bas) | Simple BASIC Program that must have been written for the System-80 rather than the TRS-80 as one of the prompts refers to "New Line" rather than "Return". | basic run"costanly/bas" |
| Household Accounts for Disk v. 4.0 (homeacco/bas) | A Micro-80 program (1982). This was from the same folk who sold the magazine. | basic run"homeacco/bas" |
| Barchart (barchart/bas) | Stores, retrieves and produces bar charts | basic run"barchart/bas" |
| Sort (sort/bas) | Sorts a text file. | basic run"sort/bas" |
