Hi Bill,


I found the web site with postings of the Apple II software I wrote a
*long* time ago. :)


Actually, I thought the coolest thing about the shell program was that
it enabled multi-tasking on the Apple II computers.  Some of the
programs in the set could create a typeahead buffer for the keyboard
(versus the Apple's buffer that trapped one and only one key) or
simulate a clock.  Multitasking on a 1 MHz machine with interrupts was
quite a trick back in the day.

It is nice to see that the old tech hasn't been completely lost to
time.

Regards, Michael
