The Call-Apple issue with the source code lists version 1.6 (dated
7/27/91) of MicroDot.

According to the article, the issue CD contains a DSK image of
MicroDot and text manual. I have that CD but there is no image or
manual to be found.

I don't know if Call-Apple was granted exclusive permission to release/
distribute MicroDot, but if you can get permission or clear-up the
current status of MicroDot, I can make available a disk image of my
complete MicroDot package (version 1.4 dated 3/21/91), including
manual.

I don't know what the difference between version 1.6 and 1.4 is, but I
can say that 1.4 appears stable and bug-free.
