Tao / Triad

Tao’s involvement with C*Base began with curiosity and quickly turned into years of dedicated work. After obtaining a cracked version of C*Base, Tao identified inefficiencies, removed unnecessary features, and rewrote key sections of code to improve performance.

From curiosity to custodianship

In addition to fixing critical bugs, Tao created several useful tools, including TBoard-Painter for PETSCII graphics, TAccess-Group Editor for managing access groups, and TSEQ-Viewer, a sequential file viewer.

Through these efforts, Tao became the legal owner of C*Base Systems and played a pivotal role in its development, leaving a lasting impact on the Commodore 64 BBS community.
