Re: Apple Drops Backward Compatibility for Next MacOS

[burger@logicware.com (Bill Heineman)]

The source for AWGS came to me on 5 3.5 inch macintosh high density
disks.

I understand the ORIGINAL archive came on a Syquest 44 Meg cartridge.

I built the source and did an object code compare to verify that indeed
that the source built version 1.1 of AWGS.

I made only a few changes to the source (To make it compile on AsmIIgs,
I had a newer version) and the object code matched.

This source was archived and I sent a copy to Jim Merritt and Quality
computers.

I then proceeded to go over the list of fixes and started working on
them.  This went on for 3 months.  I then started asking how I was to
be paid.  I was strung along and then I just stopped working on the
project since I couldn't get a straight answer about payment.

I, to this day, still have the original and the 2.0 prototype source
code. But unless I get in WRITING from Quality computers that I can use
the source. I am powerless to distribute ANYTHING.
