You're going to love it, Jim! I was fortunate enough to be able to observe
the beta test, and it was a fascinating experience. Some great Apple II
programmers -- Eric "Sheppy" Shepherd, Charlie Hartley, Richard Cain -- put
GSoft Basic through its testing paces, and it appears they helped Mike turn
out a dandy initial version.

It was fun at Kfest to see the line form to buy the program immediately
after Mike completed his session unveiling it. :-)  From what I could
observe (and what Mike has said), sales went very well at Kfest. Let's hope
that trend continues!

All of these titles are certainly worth the investment. I would also suggest
taking a serious look at the new version of Disk Access II (also from Seven
Hills). I bought it at Kfest, and I've really enjoyed the new features and
improved interface. I find myself using a lot more than I used the earlier
version.

It's a great time to be an Apple II user, thanks in large part to the
efforts of our remaining developers.
