[[File:Cpcdatab loading.png|thumb|384px|Typical loading screen of the "CPCDATAB" program launcher]][[File:Cpcdatab small.gif|thumb|380px|The program launcher in action—"L" to load or "S" to load and run]] '''''Databox ''''' is the name of the additional cassette or disk which contained the programs of one issue of the [[CPC Schneider International]] magazines, published by [[DMV]]. Type-in programs in CPC Schneider International had a checksum on each line, which could be compared to the output of <tt>check464.bas</tt>, <tt>check664.bas</tt>, or <tt>check612.bas</tt>, respectively, as each line was typed in. This was especially useful for entering long DATA statements with hexadecimal numbers—the usual way to include machine code in type-ins.
In this article we try to collect all the databoxes of this magazine and provide a short index of their contents. '''If you own a databox from an issue that is not collected here, please contact us in the CPC Wiki Forum and help us to collect all databoxes.'''
