Original name" "chg ld addr v1.2" (Basic program)
To load a Basic program in the PET/CBM computers, the program header must
contain a load address of $401. If you have a B128 program (or one for any
other Commodore model) that you want to use in a PET, be sure it has the
proper header by running this program first.
CompuServe name: ERRLST.BIN
Original name: "err$ list.b" (Basic program)
Run this program to make a list of all the error messages used by the B128.
Or just look in Appendix J and K of the computer manual.

III. The CBM 8032 Emulator
CompuServe name: START2.BIN
Original name: "Start8432.21" (Basic program)
This B128 Basic program will make your computer emulate the CBM 8032, so you
will be able to run some 8032 programs on it. This program comes from Germany,
where many B128's were sold before there was any software for it.
It requires the next six files:
CompuServe name: Rename to:
8432-2.BIN "8432.21" (machine language program)
BANKF2.BIN "bank F.20 '1024" (machine language program)
T1.BIN "t1" (machine language program)
T2.BIN "t2" (machine language program)
TD.BIN "td" (machine language program)
TD-ALT.BIN "td.alt" (machine language program)
The last four files in the list define which character is printed for each key
on the keyboard. B128 users really need only T1.BIN, the default option. The
other three are available for users with other types of keyboards.
CompuServe name: INST.BIN
Original name: "instructions8432" (Basic program)
Very brief instructions for using the Emulator program.
CompuServe name: SMBREL.BIN
Original name: "supermon.4.rel" (Basic program)
This is Liz Deal's version of Supermon for use with the Emulator.
CompuServe name: Original name:
AID46B.BIN "aid4.6b00" (machine language program)
AID47B.BIN "aid4.7b00" (machine language program)
The two files above come from Liz Deal as well. Use the second one with the
Emulator if you do not use Supermon; use the first one if you do use
Supermon with the Emulator. They contain a tiny Basic aid, which adds
such commands as Delete and Renumber to the 8032 Basic vocabulary.
CompuServe name: Original name:
BM1.BIN "bm1" (Basic program)
BM2.BIN "bm2" (Basic program)
BM3.BIN "bm3" (Basic program)
BM4.BIN "bm4" (Basic program)
BM5.BIN "bm5" (Basic program)
BM6.BIN "bm6" (Basic program)
BM7.BIN "bm7" (Basic program)
BM8.BIN "bm8" (Basic program)
These 8 benchmark programs, provided by Jim Butterfield, are meant to be run
on the Emulator to show that 8032 programs will execute faster on the B128 with
the Emulator than they will on the 8032 itself.

IV. Manfred Mager's Monitor
Yet another machine language Monitor.
CompuServe name: EXTRA2.BIN
Original name: "extra monitor" (machine language program)
This monitor resides totally in bank 15.
CompuServe name: EXTRA1.BIN
Original name: "extra mn inst" (Basic program)
Instructions for installing the previous file and using the monitor.
CompuServe name: EXTRA3.BIN
Original name: "extra monitor.s" (Basic program--load and list)

I would like to acknowledge the following people, who contributed time, support or knowledge to this effort:
Glen Haydon, author of MVP-FORTH, whose book ALL ABOUT FORTH was my constant companion during the early stages of this project.
Henry Laxen, Forth Wizard and writer. Many of the best features of this compiler are due to his ideas, and his columns in Forth Dimensions are among the best and most creative writing on Forth I have ever seen. In particular, Laxen is the creator of the DEFER IS concept.
To RMS and WRG, wherever you are, thanks for everything you taught me.
Thanks to Chris M. A friend indeed.
Special thanks to BJ, who knows what she did.
Thanks to all those who put up with various versions of this compiler, and suffered almost as much as I did while debugging it.
