>>>>>   I've download Fast Eddie but can't seem to get it to work right. I
"""""   have a rom 1 gs and I've copy the rom file over to my Power Mac
7200/120. However when I start up Fast Eddie all I get is a sceen full
of scrolling text and numbers. I must have something set up wrong. I
confess to knowing little about typing in basic, so I may have not done
something right. Any help would be most helpful.

 Thanks Bill Derowski

>>>>>   I too have a problem (freeze after the monitors bit depth message
"""""   being 256) and it too may be my Basic skills. Questions--

Do I copy the binary file to an HFS disk on the GS and then put it in
the Fast Eddie folder?

Do I have to use a ProDOS disk? If so what do I need on the Mac to read
ProDOS disks?

>>>>>   Bill,

I -suspect- that you haven't snagged your ROM properly.  The docs give
instructions on how to do it, but it requires your typing be exact.

It wouldn't be that tough a task to build an EXEC file that would grab
the ROM for you, but I haven't done it yet.

And, of course, it's illegal to actually distribute the ROM sans
Apple's permission.

>>>>>   Alright I got Fast Eddie working. You were all right it was my
"""""   typing. But I was sure I typed it in very carefully and
corrected all my mistakes (grin). I believe what I have learned about
typing in basic is backspacing over errors and retyping doesn't remove
the error or something to that effect. Anyway I'm up and running and my
shareware fee has been sent.

>>>>>   After checking things out with the rest of the staff, I've uploaded
"""""   an archive of two text files to the A2 library here.  Once
unpacked, they're named ROM01.EXE and ROM03.EXE and they can simply be
EXEC'd from Applesoft BASIC to create the needed APPLE2GS.ROM image
file for Fast Eddie.  It's already been released, file #28224.

WITHER TAG?   Ok, I'll take the blame.
"""""""""""

     There's been a couple of things happening to me that really slowed
donwn if not halted TAG for a while.  First, I became unemployed a few
months back, and looking for a new one has been a priority for me.
Second, I ran for a county office in the last General Election, and
between that, and working on several other candidate's campaigns, I got
very little work done.

Couple that with CIS eating the uploads I've been sending to Chris and
we're behind schedule.  HOWEVER, the next issue should be out within a
few more weeks (depends on copying and mailing time), and we'll do
either a back to back month for 2 issues, or send out a double disk
issue to catch up.

Mea Culpa!

LATEST ISSUE: THE APPLE BLOSSOM     One of my virtual bosses, Steve
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""     Cavanaugh, asked me to post this:

========================================================

I've just dropped off the latest issue of Apple Blossom at the printer.
They've promised to have it ready tomorrow, so if I can manage to
squeeze into a post office to get the stamps (is something going on--the
P.O. has been real busy lately?) I should be able to et the first ones
in the mail on Saturday. They should all be mailed by Christmas Day
(oooh, that's what's going on!)

This issue has a great interview with Gary Utter, news from Applied
Engineering in Australia, a Beginners' Corner article on Bits, Bytes
and Blocks, an essay by Buzz Bester and letters on DOS 3.3 and assorted
OS stuff.

A reminder to the subscribers out there that this is the final issue of
1996, and if you haven't renewed your subscription yet, now's the time.
Info is in the issue headed your way.

OLRIGHT! FOR ANSITERM AND DELPHI
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

                   ANNOUNCMENT FOR ANSITERM/DELPHI USERS!


OLRIGHT! Off-line Reader for Delphi has just been uploaded to the A2
Library.  If I have everything done properly, it should be file #28205
when the librarian(s) can get to it (Holidays, y'know).

OLRight! is an extensive off-line reader script set for ANSITerm, which
is intended for use with Hermes (File #25304) the Freeware text editor
NDA by Andre Horstmann, and Instant Replay (File #21711) the Freeware
NDA macro evironment by Jason Simmons.  The ANSITerm scripts log you
onto Delphi, perform on-line functions, and log you off.  A CoPilot-like
menu is used to handle some setup functions.  Hermes is used for reading
and writing E-mail and forum messages, while Instant Replay is used to
provide some assistance with formatting addresses, etc to suit the
scripts' needs.

Feature set:

 LOGIN:

 o  Sprintnet dial/logon
 o  Telnet dial/logon (sorry, you have to edit the script for your ISP)
 o  Multiple redials or one alternate number supported
 o  Any valid serial port rate
 o  Login port information saved (option)
