Re: Anyone have Textalker-GS?



I appear to have found a copy here:
http://apple2.org.za/gswv/USA2WUG/Utilities/Echo.II.Disks/

There's a Shrinkit archive of Textalker-GS version 1.3. As my only GS has a 
probable bad IWM chip and eats disks for dinner whenever it writes to them, 
I can't investigate further right now. This appears to be a GS/OS boot disk 
that loads TTGS. The version I'm used to can load GS/OS, but by default, 
boots into ProDos and runs the Davex shell.

I've not heard of it before, but I'll keep a lookout for it.
