For your records, Micol Advanced BASIC was reclassified as copyrighted 
freeware in 2008. I have included a copy of the email if you would 
include this with your documentation it would be appreciated.

I would still love to see the full 5.x release if anyone has it.

Dear Mr. Thomas:

    I would be most happy to release Micol BASIC (8 bit) and Micol 
Advanced BASIC (16 bit) as freeware but I would like to retain the 
copyright. Unfortunately, I can't help by supplying manuals or software. 
I'm no longer in the computer business and do all my work on a PC 
nowadays (I burnt out my Apple II GS years ago). People have to 
understand I can not supply technical help and have no responsibility 
for their use of the software. Please let me know what you need from me.

    A few years ago I helped a gentleman do what you wish to do. What 
became of that I have no idea. You might try investigating if there is 
already a freeware version of my product.

    I appreciate the gesture sending the stamped return envelope, but 
you need to know US stamps work only in the US and territories (I'm in 
Canada).

    Thank you for your enquiry, and good luck with what you are doing. 
My primary goal was never the money but rather to provide people with a 
useful programming tool. It's a shame Apple decided to discontinue the 
Apple ][ line.

    Sincerely;
    Stephen Brunier
