   If you had a clue, a 'SYS' file designation doesn't mean a damn
thing as to what computer it runs on. Ansiterm is a ProDOS 8 [Note
proper capitalization and spelling, btw] program, along with many
other games.  However, they _require_ a GS to run. The ProDOS 8 SYS
file means absolutely nothing as to whether it's a GS-specific or runs
on any ProDOS 8 capable Apple II; it merely menas what OS it wants
active when it loads.

   As it's said in the UNIX world: READ THE F*****G MANUAL! The
documentation tells you a heck of a lot about the program, such as
what OS, what computers it supports, what amount of RAM it _requires_,
and what the _features_ (not bugs, btw) it has. You've demonstrated
many times that you're either 1) too lazy or 2) too offensively
clueless to read and learn about programs, computers, and the like.
We'd all really appreciate it if you opened your mind and learned
before you opened your mouth.

   This has been a flame. Don't get all huffy and defensive.  You
_NEED_ to learn certain basics (such as some hard cold facts) before
you can post without being shot down by everyone in sight. I and many
others will continue to flame you _until_ you change your attitude.
When you post accurate, timely, and useful information, and learn
from what others say to you, then we will welcome you to the
trustworthy regulars here. Deal with it.
