This is a C64/Atari dual release. The Atari version is on the flip side of the disks.

The main files have to be loaded to Basic start with e.g.

LOAD"*",8

the small basic program determines if it is a C64 or C128 and loads the correct files. For the C128 it is required to use the 80 Display mode.

Contains Fleet Writer 3 and Fleet Speller.

Additional Information

Note from the Lemon 64 forum:

When Professional Software launched their Soft Fleet series for the C64 it included Fleet Writer 1, Fleet Writer 2, Fleet Writer 3, Fleet Speller, and Fleet Filer. If they bundled parts of it together, then they named it Fleet System. Fleet System 2 consisted of Fleet Writer 3 and Fleet Speller. Fleet System 3 was the same as Fleet System 2 but included Fleet Filer. I am trying to fill in some blanks in regards to the various Soft Fleet User's Guides put out by Professional Software, Inc (PSI). This is what I have to date. Any comments, questions, or criticism welcomed.
