Apple shipped a buggy INTEGER.SYSTEM that used the Integer BASIC ROMs
to ProDOS beta testers, but it was dropped before the 1.0 release.
I was a beta tester, but I don't recall getting that, so it might have
only been in the earlier betas.
It has been rumored that there are some people who still have copies
of it. I've been trying unsuccessfully to obtain a copy. A disassembly
of that code would be very useful.
The source code for BASIC.SYSTEM was available from APDA, and would be
useful as the basis for a new INTEGER.SYSTEM. Does anyone have it?
