The Automatic Proofreader provided checksum capabilities for BASIC programs, while machine language listings could be entered with MLX.

Starting in May 1984, a companion disk with each issue's programs was available to subscribers for an extra fee.

A monthly column, "The VIC Magician" by Michael Tomczyk, presented BASIC programming tips and tricks for the VIC-20 and Commodore 64.

The publication was reportedly profitable from its first issue,[2] but towards the end of the 1980s, its size steadily decreased due to the increasing switch from 8-bit to 16-bit home computers.

Due to the declining Commodore userbase, publication ceased entirely after February 12, 1995.
