Hello Bert, I'm not calling you silly of course and I thank you. However the announcement of WS4 when it first was released also announced that an Apple II release would follow a month later. I have no idea if it actually did.

I have the 60K CP/M 2.23 for the Softcard; that one should have quite enough TPA memory to be able to run WS4, if only disk space wasn't so tight. Although I have heard 2.23 can format non-bootable disks with 140K free, I haven't yet found out how to do that. Also a bootable disk is of course nicer.
