TS-DOS, TEENY, POWR-DOS, FLOPPY.CO, the Booster Pak, or the
WP-2 built-in Diskette client are the most "advanced" way to
accurately and quickly transfer all file types including binary

Classic Article Repubs

We hope to republish one or more articles from the Golden Era of the Model T every month:

One-Liners

This is a collection of Microsoft BASIC programs that

  • Do something interesting or useful
  • With only a single line of code

One-liners are bite-sized computer programs on a human scale. You are encouraged to type them in manually (by hand) and study their operation.
