I have the tarball here that I downloaded last night... is that the latest?
I have the old build and project still workable here from 2008 and old
compilers all installed so no problem for me to build.

I also know who I am, and I see what you say. But I have but one broken
crayon and only the floor to scribble on... fortunately all I want to add to
the UI is a multi-select for changing File Info like File Types and Aux
Types in ProDOS, or Filer Types and Load Addresses in DOS 3.3. I should be
able to handle that...
My crayon may crumble in my hands if I am not careful. I will of course keep
any big-bangs to myself and may ask you or Andy (if he's around) to be an
intermediary when and if the time comes... to check this in.

I should have said "On my Windows XP Box"... I have no problem accessing
this from either of my Windows 7 machines...
So from what you have said, I have to assume that nothing has changed in
CiderPress since those changes for CP/M and stuff 3-4 years ago.
I also want to get more familiar with AppleWin... and I had a crazy thought,
should we look at bringing CiderPress and AppleWin into the same build
environments ... which to me is lots of work... I am not good-enough to do
so in my remaining lifetime.
You guys are code-monsters though and may have other thoughts...
