     Very cool, indeed (and thanks!)

     The Applesoft source will be nice to have.

     Downloaded all of the 202 Alliance stuff, too. It seems to include bunches of
Softside programs which have not been available for download before-- at least not
from the net. Lots of the games are ones I've never seen before.

     Can hardly believe that someone is finally going to make the Sys 6.0.1 source
available. That should be a big help to programmers.

     Then, there's your release of Word Perfect into the public domain and, maybe,
someone will do the same for Softdisk?! So, like, how much longer do you figure
you'll be "dropped out" of II computing?
