A five-program library tape from the Chicago Area Timex Users Group (CATUG): a 3D bar chart, a Christmas card, a cassette header reader, a Bach arrangement and a showcase of BASIC screen-animation techniques. All five are BASIC programs that start themselves after loading.
The download has a TAP of each program and a plain-text listing of each.
