+Ripdubski Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Anyone know where I can find the disks for Timeworks Partner ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMotorola Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I took a quick look online but none of the common sites have it. There is a fellow selling the original packaging with disks on eBay for $50. Hopefully someone here can upload the disks because it looks like a really nice package. I was very fond of the Timeworks desktop publishing software back in the '90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Here's version 1.0. Not sure what version you are looking for. Partner_ST.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Timeworks created some pretty decent packages for the ST back in the day - Their WP was the first I used with spell check as you typed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwrd Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 When I had Atari/Commodore dealerships in the late 80's, Timeworks Desktop Publisher was only outsold in our shop by Dragon's Lair and Death Sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8guy Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Anyone have an Swiftcalc Version 2? I think all the common online sites have version 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8guy Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) ahhh. the US ebay. I should have thought of that...I do find quite often when you ask nice eBay sellers will ship to Canada. With the Loonie flying high, not a bad time to ask either... Having said that, I'll wait to see if Ripdubski wants it first...

+Ripdubski Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Thanks, not sure what versions there were. I just wanted to explore it as it looks pretty good, but wasn't really wanting to spend $50 to $125 for it. There were 2 listings when I looked. Anyway, thanks! I did make an offer for this and another item the seller has. If I get it and its a different version than 1, I'll get it archived. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 I ended up buying it and another item he was selling. I haven't checked the version yet. I will soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Great, I hope you will take the time to archive the disks and upload the software here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ripdubski Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 The Partner ST is version 1.00. I think the disk is altered, as it has a game (control panel accessory) called ESCAPE on it, which is a break out clone. There is already a version 1.00 archived, but I think the 2nd disk (thesaurus) is missing. I also have SwiftCalc ST, and its version 1.00.

The ESCAPE game was included with Partner and was mentioned on the packaging as a stress reliever if you needed a little break from working (see attached image).

I guess I could have looked at the box... Thanks for the correction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8guy Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 So I have a sealed copy of Swiftcalc 2.0 Guess it's time to crack it open and image the disks for posterity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 I guess to help round this out, last version of Publisher and Data Manager would be good to cover. BTW, Partner complains and says it won’t run except in ST Medium or High mode when running in TT Medium. Yet it funds just fine. So it’s mode detection doesnt appear to account for the TT. Probably never updated after release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
