Apple didn't write it, they got Mousedesk from Version Soft, the French guys
who put out apps like Mouseword and Mousecalc as well as Mousedesk for the
long-defunct company International Solutions. It became the Apple II Desktop
and was included in early IIgs system software. The only differences between
it and Mousedesk I'm aware of are the name change and ability to run S16 apps.
