   No, Apple's DOS 3.3 and ProDOS were not done by Microsloth, but
instead by Apple, though ProDOS did pick up a few bad style traits
from MS-DOG like shortish filenames, etc. What Mickeysoft wrote for
the Apple II was a fair amount of work on Applesoft Basic.

   Followups sent to comp.sys.apple2, where this is far more
appropriate.
