CONTRIBUTED PROGRAMS VOLUMES 1&2 CONTRIBUTED PROGRAMS VOLUMES 3-5

A software manual deployed in Apple 's dealer to compensate for the initial software shortage. Apple Apple had a system to register an excellent program called Software Bank in the beginning. There were also commercially available software in this, but there ware software distributed through the dealer network as a public domain. Disk II Disk II was expensive and few in 1978 and 1979, it was deployed from Apple to dealer, and it seems that the user copied the software to tape or disk from the disc sent from Apple to dealer and taking it home freely and making it available for use at home machine.
This manual explains the contents and usage of these software. Volume1 Volume 1 contains 18 programs such as games and utilities, Volume 2 contains a slideshow program called "The Apple Magic Lantern".


  

 For introduction of each program, submitter and software bank registration number are noted for copyright protection, and Mastermind made by Woz, Color Math made by Mike Markkula, Hex Converter made by Paul Lutus who was famous for Apple Writer II, Musicomp etc. etc. These Manual were charged. (US $ 2)
The series of Contributed Programs ranged from Vol.1 to Vol.5, and there were two types of manuals, Vol.1-2 and Vol.3-5. (US $ 2 each) Vol.3-5 contains various programs such as games, utilities, graphics and education.

It seems that such movements have led to the development of programmers from around 1980 (Special Delivery Software Series).

DOW JONES SERIES PORTFORIO EVALUATOR

In the background of the early spread of Apple II, there was a need for obtaining share price information through personal computer communications. For this reason, after releasing the main unit, Apple had released peripherals for personal computer communication using telephone lines at early period.

This software connects to Dow Jones News / Retrieval with the configuration of Apple II (32K memory), monitor, Disk II, Modem IIA, Communication Interface Card, obtains stock price information, and manages shares of up to 50 stocks. According to the manual, it seems that the information of stock price of Dow Jones had to have a time delay of 15 minutes rather than real time display by law. Is it a regulation that takes into account the fairness of information transmission among investors.
