It's been days I did not drop by comp.sys.apple2. I searched your post
about the OS bug in ROM 03 through DejaNews but to no avail. What is the
toolset involved?

Since it appears you fix the bug in a new release of GUPP, could you give a
full description of the problem triggered by Wolf 3D (and/or Hierarchic*)
in comp.sys.apple2.programmer and what is the patch you're making to GS/OS.

* My former neighbour Vincent Hemeury released a Hierarchic INIT v1.7 about
a year ago. He got the source code from BrainStorm Software and translated
it from Merlin 16 to ORCA/ASM. The resulting INIT was smaller and more
efficient in terms of speed. What is the official release? The one by
Richard Bennett endorsed by Seven Hills, I think. But then as a former
customer of BSS (I bought Kangaroo and Transprog), I think I deserve to
receive that update without subscribing to any online service like GENIE or
Delphi, right?
