	A full features assembler, linker and loader, written from scratch
	using a Linux flex, bison and GNU make.  It is based on an original
	object file format.  Man pages, etc. are included.  Includes
	a2asm	- Assemble source file into linkable object file
	a2link	- Link together object files into one
	a2load	- Convert object file into fully linked executable
	a2objx	- Debugging dump of object file contents

	Assembler syntax includes full C type expressions on 32 bit quantities,
	plus standard pseudo-ops: .import, .export, .zimport
	(import a zero-page address), sectioning into .code, .data,
	and .bss, etc.

	This was written to support a project to add 6502 cross compilation to
	an lcc C compiler.

	Contact the author for more details.

	A command shell that appeared with the Lisa assembler.	I don't
	have any details on whether there was a shell language.
	I don't know whether this is freeware, shareware, or what.

	APEX (+)
	Product name: APEX System Builder
	Language: APEX502
	Hardware requirements: 64k Apple II or 128k Apple //e, //c, IIGS
	Operating system requirements: ProDOS

	Company name: MicroGram Systems
	Company address:PO Box 252, La Honda, Calif, 94020-0252
	Company phone number: (415) 747-0811
	Company email address: pending
	Electronic file access info:

	Notes:
	APEX is an operating system for the Apple IIs with installable device
	drivers.  Included an assembler, editor, and at one time,
	XPL, a high level programming language.
	Was developed on the 6502 prior to the Apple II
	and was ported to it when the Apple first appeared.  Developed
	at the Colorado School of Mines by Peter Boyles.

	Currently it is at least at version 502.  A128k is a high level
	language derived from APL.

	Apex502 brings the capability of graphic, mouse driven program
	development to the Apple II. It supports all Apple II graphics
	modes where available, although support for IIGS graphics is
	minimal. A128k.System includes lots of editor enhancements,
	too.

	Apex System Builder for the Apple II series is now freely
	distributable. The publisher, MicroGram Systems would
	appreciate a notice announcing that a greatly enhanced IBM
	version is available from MicroGram and that Apex programs
	created on the Apple II can be transported to the IBM version.

  Assembly
	1. HyperC (+)
		<URL:ftp://calvin.sfasu.edu/pub/apple2/hyperc*/*>
		<URL:ftp://cco.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/8bit/hyperc/>

	4. ORCA/M (version 2.1.0)
		This is a commercial package, sold by Byte Works.

		Product name:   ORCA/M
		Company:	Byte Works, Inc.
		Address:	8000 Wagon Mound Drive N.W.
				Albuquerque, NM 87114
		Owner:		Mike Westerfield

		Phone:		(505) 898-8183, 8am-5pm, Mountain Time

		Email: Internet: <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

		Online Forums:
		America Online: Keyword Byteworks
		GEnie: A2Pro, Cat 36
		Internet: <URL:http://www.hypermall.com/byteworks/>

		I have been told that to date the America Online address
		is a preferred one - of course now that those are being
		cancelled, it remains to be seen what will be done.

		Byte Works has an extensive line of software and
		self-study courses as you will see throughout this catalog.
		You can order these packages through Byte Works.
		Byte Works also is quite good about letting customers
		know about new releases, and often run special packages
		or upgrade discounts.

		Surely someone can provide me with more specifics about
		ORCA/M - what the package includes, etc.!

		Also available is the MON+ Symbolic Debugger,
		the ORCA/M O/S Source and the Floating Point
		libraries.

	5. Product name: ProDev 6502 Debugger
		Hardware: Apple //e or IIgs

		ProDev
		P.O. Box 162
		Lasalle, Michigan 48145
		1 (313) 848-4012

		Price: $149.95

	6. Mini-assembler/disassembler
		Originally available as a part of Apple's Integer BASIC ROM
		package.  No labels - but was usable.

		On an ENHANCED ][e, IIgs and perhaps other models, enter the
		Monitor, and type a '!' to enter it (no $F666G call needed!).
		On any 64k ][ under DOS 3.3, or any Apple ][ (NOT ][+/e/c/gs)
		with ProDOS or DOS 3.3, simply enter Integer BASIC,
		then call the Monitor, then use the $F666G call.

------------------------------

  BASIC
	1. Applesoft (built-in to your computer!).
		This version of BASIC was written by Microsoft.  The
		first version of this BASIC appeared in cassette form
		in 1977.  In 1978, numerous bugs were fixed and new
		commands added to Applesoft BASIC, resulting in version
		two of the software.  It appeared in cassette, floppy,
		firmware card, language card and mother board ROM
		formats.

		Applesoft II was distributed on the motherboard of all
		Apple IIs since the Apple II+ in 1979.  Additional bug fixes
		and enhancements were made for the Applesoft II that
		appeared on the Apple IIe, IIe enhanced ROMs, IIc, and
		IIgs.

	    	This can be extended with several commercial and non-commercial
	    	applications.

            	To speed Applesoft up,
			Beagle Compiler, available through Quality Computers.
			This compiles the Applesoft interpreted file into
			a faster, though larger, file.

	    	To add commands to Applesoft
			Glen Bredon's ProCMD (required ProDOS 8).

				There was also a mention at one time of a
				System II Developer's Kit.  People were
				referred to <URL:http://www.kitchen-sink.com/>
				for more information.

			Canam Software's AmperPlus (+)
				Available on Compuserve's Apple Programmer
				library.  Uploaded by
				<URL:mailto:[email-masked]>
				Source code is in Merlin assembler format.
				I cannot tell whether program is truly
				freely distributable or not.

			Doublestuff! Plus.  Contains a language-card
				version of Applesoft, modified to
				provide commands for using the
				double-hi-res Apple ][e screen.
				Modifications include drivers to get drawings
				to look right, and upgrades in syntax to
				allow commands like
				"HCOLOR=15:HPLOT 0,0 TO 559,192".

		Date: 1995

		Version 5.0 may now be available but is to be the last version
		developed.  Features a 200 page 8.5 x 11 inch manual.
		Also, a library of toolbox routines known as CodeSmith
		was developed but never really took off - only 8 copies
		sold, the last I heard.  The library included an interface
		to the toolbox, to GS/OS, a set of shell utilities and a
		help library.  The library is shareware.
		Contact Walter Torres <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

  C
	1. HyperC (+)
		<URL:ftp://calvin.sfasu.edu/pub/apple2/hyperc*/>
		<URL:ftp://cco.caltech.edu/pub/apple2/8bit/hyperc/>

		K+R C - Any II with an 80-column card.
			(out-of-the box only generates native code for
			a 6502.  65c02 translation available, this and other
			support is all user-contributed.)
		Requires ProDOS 8.  any version.

		Producer was WSM Group, Tucson, Arizona, which now
		appears to be defunct.  Copyright status == shareware,
		but it's state is somewhat questionable as there is no
		known address where one can send shareware fees.

		Heavy Usenet support -- <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>
		for questions and discussion.  To join, send email to
		<URL:mailto:[email-masked]>.

		Articles also appear in <URL:news:comp.sys.apple2> (and
		<URL:news:comp.sys.apple2.programmer> now)occasionally.  Source
		code and binaries appear in
		comp.{source,binaries}.apples occasionally as well.

		The Hyper C manual itself is pretty good, and a fair amount of
		user-contributed improvements are available.

		Contains some bit-set and other Pascal-ism extensions.

		Work currently being done to support 65c02, 65802, and 65816
		transparently.

		A portion of the product is an interpreter which works in
		native mode.  All file and device I/O works in an emulation
		mode for compatibility.

		Some of the products being developed are an 8 bit QWK
		reader, a standard library, and a high resolution graphics
		library is currently available - a double high
		resolution graphics library may be available in the
		near future.

		An alternate runtime operating environment to Hyper C's
		OPSYS runtime module is also being developed.  It is called
		Opix.  It requires at least a 65C02.  Opix 1.01 should
		be available at the various Apple II ftp sites.

		Anyone have a path name?

		Source code for the shell, libraries, etc. are available.
		An assembler (see above) is also included.

		This product does not support floating point numbers in
		the standard C tradition, but does have a pre-processor
		and libc replacement to aid in performing floating point
		operations.

		An optimizer is supported by
		Anthony J. Stuckey <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

		Code to create ProDOS SYS files was written by
		Gary Desrochers and Andy Werner.

	2. Aztec C65
		DOS 3.3 and Prodos 8 versions available.  K&R compatible.

		Product name:  Aztec C65 Apple Commercial
		Language: C
		Hardware requirements:
		Operating system requirements:  ProDOS or DOS 3.3

		Company name:  	  Manx Software Systems

		Company phone number: (908) 308 3800 (inquiries)
				      (908) 308 3322 (Fax)

		Package appears to still be available, but no further
		modifications are planned by the company.

		As of 1992/01/24, the pricing was $199.00 + $5.00 S&H
		for the ProDOS version.  Anyone have any pricing updates?

		A K&R level C compiler wit some extensions.  It includes
		a simple shell, compilers to generate interpreted p-like
		code or machine language, assemblers for both, a linker,
		library support, an editor, and source code to the library.

		It is rather slow, and expensive if you want the full version.
		There are a few bugs which do not appear to be slated for
		fixing by the company.

		Check <URL:http://www.greymatter.co.uk/gmWEB/Items/BND00022.HTM>
		which is said to be the WWW page for Manx.

		Read alt.bbs.metal for more details.

		METAL is a telecommunications application compiled language.
		Main purpose is to run BBS software, but can be used to
		write terminal programs, program launchers, and database
		software.  The METAL compiler can compile ACOS, MACOS,
		and LLUCE code with little modification needed.

		One of the primary pieces of software written in METAL is
		the FutureVision BBS system.

	METAL - Mega-Extensive Telcom Applications Language

	METAL gives the programmer:

 	o  24-bit integer math (-/+ 8meg range).
 	o  An upper limit of 8 megabytes on any compiled program.
 	o  Variable memory that takes advantage of your computer -
	   37k for an Apple //e or //c, and 64k or 128k for the Apple //GS.
 	o  Full 2-dimensional array support.
 	o  Massive command set - Allocate, Memstring, Do/While/Long If,
	   Abort, Xfer, Fcopy, Edit, and more!
 	o  31-character labels, 4-character variables, along with
	   full support for hex, binary, and of course, decimal.
 	o  Easy-to-use and modify configuration file.
 	o  Fully customizable printer, clock, modem, and modem port interface
	   drivers.
	o  The local video driver (standard Apple PTSE) can
	   automatically translate PTSE control codes to other
	   emulations - your users can even switch emulations online,
	   and most PTSE commands (include the MouseText character set)
	   will be translated to what the emulation expects!  Totally
	   transparent to both you and your users - simply write
	   everything in PTSE, and let the system do the work for you!
 	o  Documentation on the language supplied in AppleWorks 3.0 AWP
	   file format, covering the language and commands in extreme depth.
 	o  Over 200 external ML routines for your ML programs to use.
 	o  Sysop creatable "External Package" programs that METAL can use as
	   part of its own system.
 	o  Three types of externals: Packages, External Files, and Shell
	   Commands.  Shell Commands can be used from the Reset Options
	   locally to do things like editing a file, cataloging, viewing,
	   and deleting files, even deleting entire directories!
 	o  Ability to change the size of up to 126 memory areas for your
	   BBS to use.
 	o  Up to 40 "Data Areas" for your BBS to use, ranging from bit-level
	   to three-byte-long data values.
 	o  Built-In file transfer commands, with protocol support for Xmodem,
	   XmodemCRC, XmodemBatch, Xmodem1k, Xmodem4k, Ymodem, Ymodem4k,
	   Ymodem-G, and Zmodem - all industry standard protocols.
 	o  Hide and Unhide variables directly in memory, without any
	   disk access.
 	o  Local labels, extra-long lines (can actually go up to the entire
	   file), including of common source files, chaining of multiple
	   files into one object
	   runtime program, definable macro strings.
 	o  Procedures with local variables and input/output variable passing.
 	o  Much more than can be listed here!
 	o  Runs under ProDOS-8, with many features for the GS computers.

		It is still an integer Forth, that uses normal ProDOS
		text files for source and uses the MLI to acces the
		disk.  You can now save the FORTH image as a SYS file so
		that you can create stand-alone programs.

	3. Apple Pascal
		Apple Pascal version 1.1 was released in 1980.
		Version 1.2 was released in 1983.
		Version 1.3 was the last release back in 1985.

		This language had its own unique operating system.
		It came with a compiler, a very good assembler and a linker.

		Various toolkits were available for this language.
		For instance, one package was called Applegraphics
		which provided a set of routines for creating
		high resolution graphics from any of the UCSD environment's
		languages.

		Formerly, these products were available.

  Misc
	1. CEEMAC (+)
		Author: Brooke W Boering
		Date: December 1996
		Company: Vagabondo Enterprises
			 718 Encino Drive
			 Aptos, CA 950032
		Email: <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

		Software put into the public domain 3/18/87.

		A DOS 3.3 graphics language which is a part of a
		graphics/sound program.  It was an early Electronic Arts
		program according to one correspondent (Richard McCusker).
		Later correspondents correctly pointed me to Brooke Boering
		and Vagabondo Enterprises.

		The basic concept in CEEMAC was the programmer wrote scores of
		graphics and sounds which were then performed.

		The language used tables of values (sin, cos, tan) to create
		curves, and it also allowed the programmer to use shapes.
		There were macros that produced dots, boxes, color, sound,
		and more.  It allowed you to anchor a curve at one end
		and move the other end around.  It also allowed you to set
		the symmetry of the 'score'.

		Here is a sample score:

		SCORE: KT
      			:FIRE ORGAN  KEY T
      			SPEED [0,0]
      			: - BUT 0
      			0
      			CLEAR [0,0]
      			XY1 = $80;$80
     			: MAIN LOOP
      			F
     			:FORGND SYMMETRY 0-3
      			VC = RND3 ORA 3
      			: SAVE FORGND ROTATION
      			VD = ROTEZ
      			:FORGND COLOR
      			COLOR = NXTCOL

		I believe this is on some of the Internet archives.
		There are several related disks here.

		1. An application written in CeeMac by the author called
			Fire Organ.
		2. the CeeMac disk itself.

		3. Maestro

		4. A 'third party' disk of CeeMac programs called
			Sparkee.

		There was also a CEEMAC newsletter.

		Any more info that you might have would be appreciated.

	Company name: Absoft Corp.
	Company address: 2781 Bond Street
	Company phone number: (313)853-0050
	Company email address:
	Electronic file access info:

	The AC/BASIC package includes an ORCA editor and a 16 bit
	compiler.  It is MicroSoft BASIC compatible and I have verified
	this with source code from MicroSoft BASIC for the Macintosh.
	AC/BASIC supports windows, buttons, colour graphics and sound. It
	works best from a RAM or hard drive, but requires 3.5" drive
	minimum.

        The manual includes plenty of example code which is also included
	on the system disk.

	Absoft Corp is still in business but support for AC/BASIC is
	limited to whatever the tech support person can offer when you
	call -- they do not have a GS set up and will not research any
	problem.

        There is a patch available for AC/BASIC to make it compatible with GS.

	which has had a 65816 code generator written for it.  It uses 32-bit
	ints and currently runs on Unix boxes or MS-DOS machines.  It doesn't
	run on the IIgs itself yet since it can't compile itself yet.  At
	the time I received info about it, it was missing floating point
	support and most of the libraries.

  Pascal
	1. Complete (formerly TML) Pascal, 2.0
		I have gotten an email from one user who documents a
		number of problems attempting to get an update of this
		product.

		I recently did receive info from a customer who uses the
		2.0 version of this and loves it.  Complete Pascal 2.0 is
		the upgrade to TML Pascal II 1.5.  It has several resource
		editors to make GUI programming bearable on the IIgs.  It
		is somewhat compatible with GNO/ME.

		I have yet to be able to get other information
		about it.  I would recommend avoiding this product
		until further info is available.

	2. ORCA/Pascal 2.2.0
		Byte Works, Inc. (see previous address info).
		Requires a IIgs, 1.125 meg of RAM and at least one 3.5" floppy.

		Foundation has something called 'native editors.  These
		are editors written to manipulate specific resources in
		a GUI manner.  For resources which do not yet have native
		editors, one uses a `script editor' to edit the various
		parameters in a non-graphical manner.  The current set of
		native editors is limited.

		This package has turned freeware and is available for
		download from GEnie.  Is anyone reading this an expert
		on this subject?  Rumors also indicate that a group

	    Hardware requirements:  Apple IIgs
	    Operating system requirements:  GS/OS, Orca shell
	    Comments:  Cmake makes heavy use of scripts to achieve its aim,

	    Hardware requirements:  Apple IIgs
	    Operating system requirements:  GS/OS, APW or Orca shell
            Comments:  Next to dmake, fmake is the most Unix-like make
                available for the IIgs and is the best one that is
                compatible with the Orca shell.  It has a rudimentary macro
                handling ability, some internal implicit dependencies, but
                is missing a lot of common Unix functions such as user-defined
                implicit dependencies.  Most Unix makefiles will require
                extensive modification before use.

Other hardware development environments

------------------------------

	The cards I had in mind listing here would be those for which
	some advantageous programming environment was provided or
	anticipated.  Thus, I didn't plan on listing all of the serial
	I/O cards, etc.  If you feel programmers would benefit from
	some hardware card being listed, be sure to send me some
	detailed information here.  You can see that this is just
	a new idea here and I need help fleshing it out.

------------------------------

  65802
	Available for older Apples and Apple clones which
		were still stuck with the 6502.  Software such as
		Merlin assembler provide some amount of support for
		the 802 and 816 chips.

  6809
	1. Stellation Two
		OS/9 Level 1 was one of the operating systems available.

  68000
	1. Stellation Two
		I don't remember if OS/9 or some other operating system
		was available for this one.

  8088
	Ability to run MS-DOS gives programmers access to another base
	of development and application software.

	1. Applied Engineering 8088 Card
		Information needed on availability.

  Z-80
	Ability to run CP/M gives programmers access to another base
	of development and application software.  Once one gets one of
	these, then many CP/M programs are possible.  One problem is
	getting the software in a format which is READABLE by the
	CP/M card though!  Some companies carried the 5.25" Apple
	sector format though.

	1. MicroSoft Softcard CP/M Card
		Information needed on availability.

		Note that FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC were available from
		Microsoft in Apple 5.25" disk formats.

	2. Applied Engineering Z-80 Card
		Information needed on availability.

		Note that Applied Engineering's CP/M package, called I
		believe CP/AM, supposedly ran on any MicroSoft SoftCard
		work-alike (like AE's Z80+ or Z80c, and the Z-RAM Ultra 3).

	3. Clone cards
		Information needed on availability.

  Misc
	1. Faster Floating Point Cards
		There were several - someone want to send me details?
		No unique programming environments but can make SANE
		processing bearable in some cases.

		A. Innovative Systems
		Will Troxell, contact.
		FPE (Floating Point Engine)
		PO Box 444
		Severn Park, MD 21144-0444
		(301) 987-8688

		The above address may not be correct.

		Apple II 68881 math co-processor, speeds up Appleworks,
		Applesoft and many IIgs applications.

		B. Applied Engineering
		FastMath card
		Information needed.

	2. CPU acceleration
		These are primarily faster 65816 or other similar
		chips.  A programmer's programming environment is
		not extended, but made bearable.

		Applied Engineering series of cards

		Zip series of cards

		Others?

	3. Graphics display cards
		Would provide programmer with unique visual capabilities.
		Has there been even one actually shipped?

	4. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) cards
		Has there been even one actually shipped?

		AIIdsp - being developed by Ken Poppleton.  Operates on a
		Apple IIs with expansion slots, using the 40 mhz DSP 56002.
		Folks ar e working on the interfaces and the native assembler.
		Three or four folk are working on this in their spare time.

		GS/DSP - was being developed by Pete Snowberg.  He was using
		a 34010.

	5. Virtual Memory Management card
		This one was advertised in CALL-A.P.P.L.E for several
		months, but I don't know if it ever shipped.  I don't
		have the details handy at this time.  Can someone help
		me out here?

		I know that it provided an enhanced BASIC which had
		extended arrays, etc.

	6. Sound cards
		Would provide programmer with unique audio capabilities.
		Some programming packages may take advantage of having one
		of these boards available.

		Mockingboard, Phasor, MDIdeas Stereo Digitization Pro and
		stereo synthesis, Sonic Blaster, Audio Animator, Futurevision
		sound cards.

		MIDI - GS will produce MIDI with just a standard MIDI box
		plugged into a serial port.

		Sound synthesis

		Voice synthesis

	7. BSR X-10 controller card
		Would provide programmer control over household management
		of devices.

		The BSR X-10 Home Automation Interface, model number CP290
		works through a standard Apple II serial card.  It comes
		with a cable that converts the D-25 connector on the serial
		port into an O connector for the interface module.  Also
		included is the Apple IIe or IIc software.

		CP290 may be able to be purchased from:

		X-10 (USA) Inc.
		185A LeGrand Ave.
		Northvale, NJ 07647
		(201) 784-9700 or 1-800-526-0027

		In some areas, Radio Shack carries much of the BSR X-10
		product line.

		Info provided by "Pierre (P.P.) Blais" <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

	8. Media control devices
		Product Name: DiskQuest
		Type: CD-ROM driver

		This can be used on an Apple IIgs using one of
		the standard SCSI card.  Procyon makes some software which
		allows Apple II users to run some of the generic type CD-ROMS.
		This includes The Family Doctor and Total Baseball.

		VCR - there used to be an Apple II package to allow you
		to back up your hard drive to a VCR.  I believe there also
		used to be a package to allow one to drive a VCR for
		educational purposes.

		Other - An Apple II Medial Toolkit is now available in the
		IIgs System 6 and newer packages to control laser discs, etc.

	9 AST VisionPlus video digitizer.  Later, it was upgraded and called
		the Enhanced VisionPlus or Visionary board.  The last updated
		was for Allison 2.0 ROMs.  The software was still not complete
		as of 7/94.  Contact Scott Gentry for a status.

	10. Sequential Systems has a Super VGA card called Second Sight.
		Michael Hackett is working on, or has done, patches to
		Quickdraw to support the card, but these are not yet available.

		newsletter, Apple Assembly Line, which was published from
		10/80 through 5/88.)

		Last known address:
		Author:		Bob Sander-Cedarlof
		Address:	P.O. Box 280300
				Dallas, Texas 75228

		Bob went to work for AE as a software engineer and
		might still be available at the address/telephone
		number given above. It would be worthwhile for anyone
		interested in 6502 assembly language to find the back
		issues to Apple Assembly Line.  They are available for
		download to GEnie members.

		In addition to an assembler for the 6502 he offered
		cross assemblers for:

		Motorola  6800, 1, 2, 8/6301, 6805 6809, 68HC11, 68000
		Mitsubishi     50740 series

  BASIC
	1. Applesoft toolkits
			Apple's Applesoft Programmer's Assistant.
				Product from Apple.  Came with an assembler
				called EDASM.  Came with a series of ampersand
				commands, but a high resolution character
				generator that let you design your own
				fonts and display them on the high resolution
				graphics screen using traditional PRINT
				statements.

			Apple Programmer's Toolkit, which occupied the ROM
				space left unused by Integer BASIC.
				Originally distributed as firmware as well
				well as Apple DOS 3.3 boot disks.

			Product name: SuperGraphics
			3-D Display System & Game Tool (by Bill Budge)
			Language: called via PRINT "%..." from Applesoft
				or Integer BASIC
			Hardware requirements: Required are an Apple II
				with 48K of RAM and a minimum of 1 disk drive.'
			Operating system requirements: DOS 3.3
			There was an Atari 800 version.

		the einstein compiler, and the compiler would create a one
		line program - 1 CALL 4864 - with the compiled code embedded
		at the end of the program.  The compiler worked fast,
		but is reported to produce slower code than TASC and could
		not handle dynamicallyt dimensioned arrays.

		Thanks to Paul Guertin <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>
		for this information.

	4. Integer BASIC
		This BASIC was in the ROMs of the Apple II'
		first sold by Apple.  When the Apple II+'s with
		Applesoft in the on-board ROMs started selling,
		Apple also sold a Firmware card which had Integer
		BASIC in ROM on them.

		Steve Jensen sent email indicating that Integer BASIC can
		be found in a file found on any Apple DOS 3.3 system disk.
		Steve says that it autoloads when you boot the DOS 3.3 disk.
		Certainly it can be autoloaded by executing an Integer BASIC
		program from that disk.

		Jay Krell followed up with an email that indicates that
		the DOS 3.3 system master boot disk loads Integer BASIC into
		the language card if Applesoft is in the ROMs.  You can
		switch to Integer BASIC by issuing the INT command from
		the Applesoft BASIC prompt.  You can switch back to Applesoft
		by issuing the FP command.

		There were many articles and books on Integer BASIC
		published back in the 'olden days'.  One of the best
		sources of information was the Call-A.P.P.L.E.
		magazine, which published a lot of information on the
		language.

		A.P.P.L.E. sold a relocatable RAM version of Integer BASIC
		as Integer BASIC+.

		boots part-way, then freezes just before it prints the
		startup banner.  Works fine on an Apple IIe though.

		There appears to have been a second disk available at an
		extra cost containing floating-point arithmetic and
		hi-res graphics commands.

		MasterFORTH also had additional disks containing
		floating-point and hi-res commands, which appear to
		have been sold separately.

		Both of these are fairly old packages...FORTH-79 is
		copyright 1980, and MasterFORTH is copyright 1984.

	Company email address: N/A
	Electronic file access info: N/A

		As far as I can determine, the Apple II version
	is no longer an active product.  Also note that the IIgs was
	never completely supported.  This was a C-like language which
	was interpreted, came with a shell, and was source compatible
	for the most part between various architectures.

	3. Small C
		Formerly sold commercially by Byte Works.

		Came as source written in ORCA/M assembler.

		This is a graphics and animation toolset, used by
	Pegasoft for their entertainment software. Contains
	palette and colour manipulation, high-speed "pixies", fades,
	wipes, easy file I/O, game and net drivers, all written in
	assembly language. Comes on 2 disks with examples in Micol Adv.
	BASIC, Pegasus Pascal, ORCA/Pascal, ORCA/M and Merlin.

	5. DOS 3.3
		Company name: Apple Computer, Inc.

		DOS 3.3 was one of the two most popular operating systems
	on the Apple II line.  It was a flat file system with no
	ability to create directories.  In fact, there was little support
	for hard disk drives.

		On the IIgs, there is now a package called the DOS 3.3 Launcher
	which allows one to run many of the old file based games or even
	multi-disk based games from ProDOS.

		Also, Glen Bredon sells a package called DOS MASTER
	which formats a ProDOS partition as a file and then creates a
	series of DOS 3.3 volumes (400k max for each volume) within that
	file.

	6. VOC Developer's Kit
		Company name: Apple Computer, Inc.

		Contains descriptions on how the Video Overlay CArd works,
	what the various settings do, more info on things from the toolkit
	that apply, hardware info for folk trying to use the expansion
	connector, how to use the IIgs video of the VOC on an Apple //e

	Beagle Brothers:

	Beagle BASIC - this was different from the Beagle Bros. Compiler.
	This package put Applesoft into RAM so that you could customize
	it.  You could rewrite error messages, rename Applesoft commands,
	etc.  Support was present for new Applesoft commands such
	as ELSE, HSCRN , SWAP, TONE, and enhanced features to things like
	GOTO and GOSUB.  It is now available from GEnie's A2 software library
	and a few other places for free use.

	There were a number of development packages available from this company
	in the past.  And if I recall, there were even a few spin off
	companies as well.  I assume that folks just are not reading down
	this far in the list?  Otherwise, I would have more info on
	these.  Thanks again to Paul Guertin <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>

	Electronic file archive host access (ftp, email, commercial, etc.) info:

	STATUS: Copyrighted program - ?defunct? company.
	RECOMMENDED ACTION: If the author can be traced, it _might_ be possible
		to get CC02 into the Public Domain. Otherwise,
		it probably must remain a curiosity.

	The CC02 comprises a 'shell' which accepts UNIX-like commands, redirects
	I/O and passes command-line arguments. No editor is provided, and the
	editor which accompanies the chosen assembler is recommended, though a
	'pretty-printer' utility is available. The compiler accepts a sub-set of
	K&R C - _signed_ character and _signed_ integer data-types, no
	structures or unions, and only single dimensional arrays, but is
	claimed to be quite adequate for a screen-oriented text-editor,
	text-formatter, linker and the CC02 compiler itself.

	It does not use (or like?) modified versions of DOS. Whether this would
	prevent it from being used with one of the DOS-launchers for GS/OS which
	have been developed recently (1994) is not known.

	the freeware ones on <URL:ftp://ftp.gmd.de/>).
	Inform IIgs is at version 4, at least one version behind the
	rest of the world.
	There is also an interpreter for the Infocom data files in
	<URL:ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/interpreters/appleII/>.

	INSTALL
	A scriptable installation program, which was included with the
	WordPerfect program.  Allowed one to create bootable disks which
	automatically installed software.

	KSH
	A Graphical Korn shell which will run on the GS is being developed.
	More details once the product is available.

	LISP
	There was at least one micro LISP available written in Integer
	BASIC back in the old days, as well as at least one commercial product.

	Someone also mentions a "MICROLISP" provided by Apple on one of their
	early contributed software disks.  It was 7k long and has as a part
	of it's title screen:

	MICROLISP/16-JUN-78
	COPYRIGHT 1978 APPLE COMPUTER INC
	IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MINUTES
	TO INITIALIZE THE ARRAYS.
	LIST ELEMENTS= 3783
	?

	[The contributor] typed (+ 1 1) at the prompt, and after 2 seconds
	came the answer 2.  But many other valid expressions would just
	either generate an error or crash the program.

	It was written in AppleSoft.

	Product name: App-L-isp
		included the Winston and Horn LISP textbook.

	Copyright 1981 by Special Software Systems.

	Company name:		DataSoft Incorporated
	Company address:	19519 Business Center Drive
				Northridge, CA  91324

	More info needed though.

	Logo
	There was a DOS 3.3 product called Logomation by a company called
	Software Toolkit or some such thing.  More info later.

	Macrosoft
	Published by MicroSPARC, Inc., this was a library of macros that
	mimiced BASIC statement style.  It wasn't to assemble BASIC programs,
	but intended to allow one to program at a bit higher level than
	the assembler.

	MSHELL
	Some sort of shell.  I don't know how programmable it was, who
	wrote it, whether it is/was available commercially, etc.

	MULISP/MUSTAR
	MuLisp was a Z-80 based P-Code lisp compiler.  MuStar was
	an Artificial Intelligence Development System, including editor
	and debugger.  Written by Microsoft.

	Nevada software
	There were several packages by Ellis Computing, Inc. which
	required the Z-80 card to use.  These were called Nevada PILOT,
	Nevada Assembler and Nevada FORTRAN.  Basically, they were standard
	CP/M products, but in a 5.25" Apple disk format.

	NinjaForce Assembler
	At one time this was available at <URL:http://www.idg.fhg.de/~girschik/nfc/>
	but that site's gone now.  Consisted of an editor, assembler and
	debugger.

	NPL
	NonProcedural Language.  1980.  A relational database language.  "An
	Introduction to Nonprocedural Languages Using NPL", T.D. Truitt et al,
	McGraw-Hill 1983.  Versions for Apple II, MS-DOS.

	OS/A+
	Micom OS/A+ system, came with a very nice BASIC (very similar to
	Atari BASIC in the graphics area).  The OS had Applesoft compatibility.

	Pascal
	There is a rumor of a ProDOS based Apple Pascal - anyone
	know any details?

	PILE
	Polytechnic's Instructional Language for Educators.  Similar in use
	to an enhanced PILOT, but structurally more like Pascal with
	Awk-like associative arrays (optionally stored on disk).
	Distributed to about 50 sites by Initial Teaching Alphabet
	Foundation for Apple II and CP/M.  "A Universal Computer Aided
	Instruction System," Henry G. Dietz & Ronald J Juels, Proc Natl
	Educ Computing Conf '83, pp.279-282.

	PILOT
	A text based version written in Applesoft is mentioned in the
	Apple History files.

	ProTYPE
	A helper application by Dirk Froeling.  It is a drag and drop
	resource stripper, binscii decoder and file type setter.  However,
	I can't tell if this is a Mac application, for use in preparing
	files for the IIgs, or a IIgs application, used to process files
	_from_ the Mac.

	Python IIgs
	Gary F. Desrochers <[email-masked]> has done a
	port of Python.
	There are 3 (SHK) Shrinkit archives of the Python port to the IIGS,
	totaling 5 megabytes of information after unshrinking.  They are:
	Python.Main.shk (378k),
	Python.Lib.shk (962k),
	Python.Docs.shk (1,066k)
	They are available at
	<URL:http://www.grin.net/%7Ecturley/gsezine/GS.WorldView/PYTHON.GS.html>
	or

	<URL:http://www.grin.net/%7Ecturley/gsezine/USA2WUG/PYTHON.GS.html/>

	They have been also moved to the archive at Ground.

	<URL:ftp://128.255.21.234/apple2/1WSW/GS.WorldView/PYTHON.GS/>

	rEDIT (or rEdit)
	A ResEDIT-like resource editor.  Apparently available on Apple II
	ftp sites, though I haven't located it yet.
	<URL:mailto:[email-masked]> is the author.

	SC Macro Assembler IV
	A DOS 3.3 macro assembler.

	SHAPE.EDIT
	A IIgs Shape Editor.  Author: A2.Jay.
	Available from GEnie Library 15, file 1822.

	SpeedASM
	Assembler and source.  Author: HAL Labs.
	Available from GEnie Library 15, file 1763.

	SuperGraphics
	3D Display System and Game Tool
	Some sort of PRINT "%" interface.  More information needed.

	Super-NES development kit
	Supposedly "Burger" Bill Heineman sells a package to develop
	SNES games.  Mail him at <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>
	to ask for more info.

	Tcl
	<URL:mailto:[email-masked]> is trying to port Tcl and TclX to the
	Apple IIgs, but is having problems finding a C compiler which can
	compile some of the larger modules.

	Tutor-Tech
	A commercial hypermedia development system which runs on 8 bit
	Apple IIs.  It allows art and buttons in its stacks.

Current Books and Magazines

------------------------------

	SoftDisk
	SoftDisk GS	- These are monthly 'magazines' on disk which provide
		a variety of programs and electronic text files.  These
		often come with clip art, fonts, desk accessories, utilities,
		games, etc.  A programmer may find useful ideas from these
		magazines.  Also, the magazine publisher is frequently
		soliciting submissions for publication so a developer might
		find some financial recompense.

	I believe I have heard that these both are no longer in print.

	Shareware Solutions II - this bimonthly magazine by Joe Kohn,
		former columist for InCider/A+, contains news of the
		Apple II world as well as reviews of software, great deals
		on development software and hardware, etc.

		$25 / year
		Joe Kohn <URL:mailto:[email-masked]>
		166 Alpine St.
		San Rafael CA 94901-1008
		WWW: <URL:http://www.crl.com/%7Ejoko/>

		Also 'publishes' software such as Contacts GS and other
		packages for authors.

	The following Apple II related books were available from
	Resource Central.  Many are probably available elsewhere now that
	RC is gone.

	Byte Works is now selling many of the items
	previously sold by others.  Contact them for the details of

	Apple II Tech Help on Compuserve

	Compuserve has a set of forums for Apple II development discussions.
	Unfortunately, technical support appears to be waning.

	Apple II Tech Help on America Online

	America Online (AOL) also had a set of forums for Apple II
	development discussions.  Unfortunately, they don't accept
	access from Apple II users - you have to use a Macintosh or
	Windows based environment to get to it.

	To access the Apple II archives and forums, etc. use the
	AOL keyword option aol://4344:1264.a2main.10029531.514525857

	Note: Charles T. Turley has arranged with AOL and
	the Ground Apple II ftp site to transfer all of
	the functional AOL Apple II archives for free public
	access via the following:
	<URL:ftp://128.255.21.234/apple2/upload/AOL/>.

	Delphi has a Apple II development forums but I have no
	information available concerning it.

	I would be happy to add other mailing lists, Proline conference
	information, or Fidonet conference type information if someone would
	submit it to me.
