The "Cyc", as it is known, is a great collection of software and documentation that is meant to complement PC99.
Note- It is now supplied on a DVD Rom.
Due to copyright arrangements you must purchase a license for PC99 to get The Cyc. A licence for PC99-Lite is sufficient.
The Cyc contains the following:
- All TI PHM Modules in PC99 format.
 - All released TI PHD Diskettes in PC99 format.
 - All TI PHM and PHD Manuals in PDF format.
 - Articles by noted TI authors in PDF format.
 - Full text of certain TI books in PDF format.
 - A listing of all books related to the TI.
 - A 1,800 page searchable alphabetical List of TI information in PDF format.
 - PHx lists that shows all TI numbered products (PHM modules, PHD disks, PHT cassettes) in PDF format.
 - Many third-party and unreleased TI modules in PC99 format.
 - Indexes to all major TI publications, and full text of selected magazines in PDF format.
 - User group disk and publication collections in PDF and PC99 format.
 - Information, manuals, and disks from TI vendors in PDF and PC99 format.
 - Thousands of other disks in PC99 format.
 
The advantages of The Cyc are:
- There is a unified searchable index
 - Text is reformatted in a standard layout and clear fully readable fonts.
 - Once purchased, updates are available at a lower cost - and new material is added regularly.
