Interesting. The second file is named P160 on that one (=v1.60). On practicalc plus that file is named P190 (=v1.90?).
What format is your tape image? There is no extension except .csm.gz on the file.
I resurrected the thread where I found it, but I agree with you and moved it to Collecting and History .
tlr: the save and load functions work perfectly with your one-file version.
To save, press F3 then S (save) or L (load). @0:SAVE (or LOAD) FILENAME for disk operation; SAVE (or LOAD) FILENAME without @0: for datassette. Of course, you'll have a tape or disk attached.
As promised, I scanned the MANUAL, cleaned the pages from heavy yellowing and dirt, and made a pdf (17.8 MB). Will submit it to Bombjack later, as I'm at work now and have no access to some kind of sites (filtered as "gaming"). Enjoy this 80-pages brick
Also, basing on the article on Commander, I wrote a new page in DenialWiki.

Reading the manual I would say that the load"",1,1:<option> won't work in the cracked version. I could probably fix that if anyone is interested.
I will scan the practicalc stuff it it can fit on a standard 8.5" x 12" scanner. I always wanted to learn more about spreadsheets for the VIC.
I'll also scan the education books if you want. Again my scanner is only standard size.
(wait: Orion70 a few messages up says he scanned it, but the file is no longer hosted - anyone know where it is? Bo Zimmerman hosts the binary but not the manual. The manual should be hosted there or on the Denial Wiki page for the software).

I strongly suggest you send it to Bo Zimmerman which has been a reliable and durable maintainer of important archived data for all the Commodore community.
I fear putting this important historical information on unreliable online services only leads to them disappearing or having to be reposted elsewhere every few years.
Please note the .WAV and .TAP images you placed online have also become inaccessible.
