The last time I did any checking on Apple GEOS, the info that I got was that
there is no one selling, or supporting it, (unlike the C-64 and PC versions)
but it is still copyrighted. Does this mean that if someone were to contact
GeoWorks there might be a possibility of  getting a franchise for
sales/support? How did they create Apple GEOS, that is on what platform was
the work done? What tools did they use to port it from the C-64/128?
