Unfortunately, GEOS development didn't really continue on the Apple II like it did for the Commodore. A shame really, because they did some neat stuff with GEOS on the Commodore. Mike Maginnis magin...@computist-project.net The Computist Projecthttp://computist-project.netThanks for all the input about GEOS. One thing I've already discovered about it that is annoying is copying files from one disk to another. Instead of being able to drag the file you want onto the disk you want to move it to you have to go through a series of steps: 1. open disk you want to copy file from. 2. highlight file you want to copy by clicking on it. 3. click a second time on the file and drag it to the desktop. 4. open disk you want to move file to. 5. highlight file you want to move by clicking on it. 6. click a second time on the file and drag into the new disk.
