Thanks for the positive feedback :-)

Surely.

What I'd like to see online is a ready-to-go .dsk file containing 
- 64k-Diversi-DOS
- an AppleSoft Hello program with some Contiki keyboard usage notes
and the option to start Contiki in 40 or 80 col mode
- Contiki itself.

I hope I can convince Adam to put that on the Contiki web site after
the sources are available.

I've been maintaining AppleWin for quite some time and to be true I
enjoy the current status of contributing a little here and there very
much and don't like to get too deep into one thing right away - like
putting up a web site.

Hopefully you/we are right :-)
