SpartaDOS X (or SpartaDOS 4.0) is a disk operating system for the Atari 8-bit family of computers, that closely resembles MS-DOS. It was developed and sold by ICD, Inc. in 1987-93.

Ten years later SpartaDOS X considered abandonware has been picked up by its enthusiasts, and developed further. These unofficial revisions, incorporating many of the utilities written since 1992, cleaning many identified problems and including numerous improvements, are: 4.31 (2005), 4.39RC (2006), 4.40 (a leaked-out beta, 2006), 4.41 (Feb. 2008), 4.42 (Dec. 2008), 4.4.3 (Apr.2011).

Changes in SpartaDOS X 4.43:

• SpartaDOS X should now work on SECAM Ataris (equipped with FGTIA).
• ARCLOCK.SYS will now reset the clock to 1-Jan-2000 00:00:00 when it discovers that the current setting is invalid (i.e. when the chip is first powered).
• Fixed buggy ATARIDOS.SYS code that was to be finding end of VTOC on MyDOS disks. Plus the driver will now report to the system the correct value of total sectors on disk (previously it was equal to the initial number of free sectors).
• DOSKEY has a new parameter: when you pass an /X switch at the end of  the parameter line while loading DOSKEY, a special shortcut will get activated: every empty line (containing EOL character alone) will be translated to a “DIR” command, and executed.
• COPY /M will now always clear the archived-bit (+A) on moved files.

from Wikipedia:

Tetris is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union. It was released on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.

He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (all of the game’s pieces, known as Tetrominoes, contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov’s favorite sport.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 or VIC20 if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is a replacement for C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen and is designed to be a single development tool which will cover some of the early CBM 8-bit machines.
