I remember something from a PDSOF disk I got from my local library. It
had something that would make DOS 3.3 and AppleSoft BASIC programs run
on the hi-res graphic screen with a colored font. Unforunately, I made
the mistake of leaving the disk on my desk without a jacket on and my
cat decided to take a nap on the disk, and I don't feel like going
through all those disks at the library. They have an index, but I don't
remember the name of the program, and I can only use or borrow one disk
at a time.
