On these pages, you will find some tips and how-tos regarding the groundbreaking 8-bit graphical desktop environment, GEOS, created and published by Berkeley Softworks. Most of the information presented here is applicable to both the C64 and C128 versions of GEOS.
According to Wikipedia, “At its peak, GEOS was the third-most-popular microcomputer operating system in the world in terms of units shipped, trailing only MS-DOS and Mac OS (besides the original Commodore 64's KERNAL).”
I hope you find something useful in the following pages, and they answer some questions you may have about working with this incredible and historical piece of 8-bit technology.
If you have a favorite GEOS trick or tip, feel free to share it with me and I may just post it here, for others to benefit and learn from it.

I found it amazing that you could do this sort of work/word processing on a C64. GEOS was an amazing accomplishment, in my opinion. |
