This would be a great find. I recall years ago reading that someone had this but hadn't uploaded it anywhere. After that, I never found any mention of this again. I would also like to find the source for it's CDOS shell/OS version, curiosity mostly.
I'm sure that with work and determination, it could be reverse engineered but with the mixed 6502 and internal byte code it would certainly be a large task. I expect it would require several dedicated individuals at least. Still, there is an exceptional amount of documentation available including how the assemblers function and even a simple optimizer.
Any ideas, interested parties? One addition I would like to see would be a 128k version. Cheers, Mike T --- Synchronet 3.14a-Win32 NewsLink 1.85 A2Central.com - Your total source for Apple II computing.
