Tatung Einstein The Software Toolworks C V3.0

Attached is a disc image for The Software Toolworks C V3.0 and a generic manual for V3.1 (couldn't find V3.0!).

I have got as far as compiling the sample file HELLO.C but thats it so far. That works as follows:

C HELLO
various messages (wait 1 minute)....

AS HELLO
various messages (wait 1 minute 5 seconds)...

HELLO
says hello!

Hopefully there will be a faster compiler out there somewhere!

ED80

Attached is an image of ED80 - an 80 column text editor and an ED80 manual from Hisoft. Although I don't think the manual is specific to this version of ED80 the control command codes I tried worked OK.

Its difficult to write C programs without an editor!

Control key summary:

Code: Select all

SuperFORTH 1.12. Not tried it yet but it does boot up. The manual is here: http://www.tatungeinstein.co.uk/front/mans.htm

[Lardo Boffin]

Borland TURBO Pascal V2.00A.

Boots up but not yet used in anger...

[Lardo Boffin]

Z80 FIG-FORTH 1.1.

I couldn't find a manual but there is a load of info on here: http://www.forth.org/fig-forth/contents.html

[Lardo Boffin]

HiSoft Pascal.

My disc only has the compiler (use ED80 to create the source files I guess) and therefore no Einstein specific extensions for sprites etc.

I found a generic HiSoft manual for it, chances are the Einstein is under the 'Other Computers' section.

Edit - I have now got the manual for this, see below.

Further edit - it seems that the compiler is the only file included with this and has a number of built in commands for graphics!

Not so much a manual for z80 Fig-Forth, but a few pages of a translation from Hungarian

Have also found this interesting site

Not sure how many of these will run on Albert, but they must be worth a try?

Hisoft Pascal Manual PDF.

Apologies for the poor scan - I only have a cheap flatbed scanner and didn't really want to destroy the manual pulling it apart.
