And that mean PRG, SEQ, REL files. But what about a FAT file system implementation and software like a text editor that would write TXT files? Or a 'paint' program that would write BMP files? Or a database program that would write DBF files?

Well... this sort of went off topic, thanks to how wrong I was understanding the file handling of CBM-DOS, so thanks to all people that explained to me how to understand it.

It think that people that have tried to create new operating systems for Commodore computers and things like twitter or slack "proof of concept" apps have been getting the machines to 2021.

Also people that still release new games for the machines keeps them active these days.

So thanks everybody for answers, again.
