Ah yes, Catalyst. It came bundled with my Unidisk 3.5 back in '86. Makes a
lot of sense to have a program selector which can only be run from a copy
protected floppy. When you consider that the main use of Catalyst on the Apple
III was to put protected software on your Profile, it's really dumb. But
anyhow, I'd say forget Catalyst and use Apple II Desktop instead. You can
find it on version 1.1 of the IIgs system software, or online in the file
GUI8BIT.SHK. Same idea as Catalyst, but hard disk installable and runs great
on 128K boxes.
