IBM TopView 1.01

From IBM’s August 14, 1984 Announcement Letter:

The IBM Personal Computer TopView program and TopView Programmer’s ToolKit provide windowing capability with concurrent execution of multiple applications.

Highlights:

  • Windowing capability provided.
  • Concurrent execution of multiple applications (multitasking) allowed.
  • A user-supplied ‘mouse’ as a pointing device.
  • Both text and graphics applications allowed.
  • User may cut/copy and paste between windows.
  • Interactive tutorial and HELP text included.

The machine below is configured to automatically start TopView 1.01 on top of PC DOS 2.00. If you don’t use a mouse, then you must use TopView’s “Keyboard Mouse” support: arrow keys move the cursor, and Home, PgUp, and Alt act as mouse buttons. Mouse support is automatically loaded in the PCjs Debugger configuration.

Directory listings of the original Program and Tutorial disks are provided below.
