     Mike sells the Orca/M assembler. The Merlin series was published by Roger
Wagner and has been out of print for years.

     Lots of users are developing II/IIgs software. Mike is one of the few
_major_ _commercial_ Apple II developers.


     Aside from the 'support your local developer' idea, there are plenty of
good 'selfish' reasons for investing in Byte Works Orca/M:

o- Orca/M is, on the whole, the best II/IIgs assembly language package.
o- Orca/M is the current A2 standard and it fits well with other current
   Orca languages.
o- Orca/M is actively supported by the seller.
o- You get a large, info-packed manual.
