Re: Wudsn now supports Apple //

I remember talking to him via email and recommending that he use AppleCommander to add files to a template disk image since it won't create a bootable disk from scratch.  I don't know if he shipped a bootable dos3.3 or prodos image with his plugin so that might be worth investigating.  Also it is possible to use Acme with Wudsn, I saw it in some of his screenshots.  Acme is pretty easy to compile for Mac and Linux too, but beware that the current copy in Sourceforge has trouble with local (.1, .2, etc) labels whereas older copies from the smorboard software website didn't exhibit any issues.

From there it was a straightforward process of installing the WUDSN plugin through Eclipse itself. There's a nice step-by-step example on the WUDSN web site.

I ended up selecting and installing Kickass (Kick Assembler). What is the author using in his testing? Any other suggestions here. For the Emulator platform, I am using JACE.
