Medley IIGS v2.0 is now a 'FREEWARE' from Milliken Publishing Company.

This program is a very impressive DTP, presented as a IIGS desktop 
application that will run just fine from the GS/OS v6.0.1 and the will 
launch from finder. It's long been my favorite to use. Formerly a 
commercial IIGS program, I've been very happy with its abilities for 
many years. I've wanted to share it with all IIGS users, from the first 
time I used it. But, until now I couldn't. So, I took the time and 
effort to find the publishers, contact them and persuaded them to make 
the program available reclassified as freeware. 

This is something I plan to do - as allowed legally - with as many Apple 
II and IIGS abandoned and old commercial titles that are no longer 
available for sale to the Apple II users - as possible.

Archived as an 800k (3.5) ProDOS disk which contains only the program, 
it's available (without) the second disk, which contains the 
spell-checker/thesarus.

Unfortunately, the second disk can't be made available as a freeware or 
even as a shareware! Beleive me, I tried every method possible with the 
copyright holders of the Medley IIGS spell-checker/thesarus - to see if 
I could get them to allow it to be reclassified as a freeware or 
shareware - along with the program. Having no success with this effort - 
you'll simply have to use the program alone and improvise with the needs 
of any spell-checker/thesarus. 

Certainly, as an alternative to not having the Medley IIGS 
spell-checker/thesarus disk to use with the program, you can always 
export and save your file created by Medley IIGS v2.0, as a text file. 
Then you can import it to any other Apple II or IIGS program that 
accepts a text file and has a spell-checker and/or thesarus - process 
the imported text file via that program, then save it again as a text 
file and import it back into the Medley IIGS program - for any efforts 
with DTP enhancements.

Please note: Medley IIGS v2.0 is not public domain. It's a freeware 
program and is copyrighted by Milliken Publishing Company. Per their 
instructions - it may not be distributed in any fashion for profit, nor 
may any fee be charged with its distribution by any media, without 
express consent and/or arrangements from the copyright holders. Other 
than these restrictions, as outlined by the copyright holders - you can 
download the archive and spread it far and wide to your hearts desire.

Any publication or service that charges the public or members - can and 
certainly should inform everybody where to come to download the Medley 
IIGS program archive.  After all - freeware should certainly be just 
that - FREE!
