Thank you for the information.

I would still love to see the full 5.x release if anyone has it.


The package I gave to Alex is Micol Advanced Basic release 5.

Excellent and again thank you. All I had managed to get from the author was a working disk with version 5. Everything worked but they weren't original installation disks such as the version 4. It was important to me as version 4 doesn't seem to like most GS emulators as we discovered when getting the release ready.

Just to confirm that the complete 3 disk set for Micol Advanced BASIC is currently on 'What is the Apple IIGS?', but you might find the same problem with emulators; Sweet 16 seemed to choke on it, although I didn't get round to testing it with KEGS.

Unless it was just replaced, no. The version five is still incomplete. It should be two disks. What is there (in the file I downloaded) is just a console based version. Yes, it can compile MAB programs but it cannot compile the full suite of MAB possibilities. The GUI version is missing and some other bits and pieces. The disk is version 5.2 and the manual is 5.0. Generally that is ok but any errata seems missing as well. According to the author this version did ship complete to some users so it was out there. Unfortunately, he no longer has any full sets of disks either.

With 5 incomplete and version 4 incompatible with most emulators MAB is somewhat limited as a development tool.
