Aug 26, 2020 at 13:18 comment added Michel Keijzers @snips-n-snails I doubt it is some special disk, I probably copied it one time,so maybe it's a basic compiler., or pascal (as some others above say).
Aug 25, 2020 at 22:35 comment added snips-n-snails Oxford sold cross-compilers that targeted the C64, but they compiled BASIC, not C. Or maybe they were working on a C compiler and you have the only known preproduction copy.

minor correction - add 'e' to the word 'not' to make 'note'

Jan 20, 2020 at 10:00 comment added Michel Keijzers @AlanB Indeed, I think it must have been mislabeled (and high likely by myself).
Jan 20, 2020 at 10:00 comment added Michel Keijzers @Joe I'm sure it was meant for the Commodore 64, since I never had a PET series.
Jan 20, 2020 at 9:59 comment added Michel Keijzers @dirkt Sorry for my late answer … yes I should try, but it seems to be Oxford Pascal.
Jan 20, 2020 at 9:06 comment added Alan B Even searching on Internet Archive only turns up ads for Oxford Pascal, so I think it's mislabeled somehow.
Oct 5, 2019 at 13:47 comment added dirkt Find your local retro computer club, ask them if they have a 1541 and/or Kryptoflux etc., and have them have a look at the floppy?
Oct 5, 2019 at 13:23 comment added Joe Is it possible there were Oxford A, Oxford B, ... floppies? The only other compiler ref for Oxford I can find for the Commodore series was a BASIC compiler (mostly targeted at the PET series...)
Oct 5, 2019 at 12:30 comment added Michel Keijzers @TomasBy that's also a good question... I never used the programming language at that age (13) ... I started Basic, and as far as I remember I started programming on C on the Commodore Amiga (I forgot which program I used for that but it couldn't have been Oxford C) ... I think I just wrote the label wrong, and Oxford Pascal is on this disk.
Oct 5, 2019 at 9:53 comment added Tomas By Are you sure you understood the difference between C and Pascal 35 years ago?

Oct 4, 2019 at 22:51 comment added Michel Keijzers @snips-n-snails The label is hand written (by me though), but I must have the disk for about 35 years or more
Oct 4, 2019 at 22:50 comment added Michel Keijzers @PeterB. That's the problem, I don't have a Commodore anymore, neither a 1541 drive
Oct 4, 2019 at 21:48 comment added snips-n-snails Is the label torn? Maybe it originally said "Oxford Basic Compiler" meaning PetSpeed64.
Oct 4, 2019 at 21:47 comment added Peter B. Can you find out what's actually on the disk? Starting the program or at least getting the filename might help in identifying the program.
