GeoPaint is a drawing program that allows you to take advantage of the color capabilities of the Commodore 64/128.

GeoWrite is a surprisingly powerful What You See Is What You Get text editor. There are fonts, formatting options out the wazoo, justification options, and all this was designed to run in 64 KB RAM or less!

WYSIWYG in action.
The sad thing is that a "Print Preview" option like this is still MIA in many applications today.

The setup program allows you to change disk drive types as well as configure RAM expansion.

And finally, the Preferences allows you to change various colors (including the border color), mouse features, and even a custom pointer. And look, slider controls! In 1986; Windows didn't standardize that until 1995!
Conclusion: GEOS is fairly similar to the Macintosh of the time. It was also very easy to use, as opposed to the traditional BASIC interpreter the C64 presented the user with. |
