More On DOS 3.3 Launcher
I have now released DOS 3.3 Launcher version 1.3.
I'm sending out a few copies, and it should be available on your
favourite electronic service within a few weeks.
It has the following new features:
- Quit via control-reset as well as CDA.
- Test launch option in copier.
- Ability to turn keyboard buffering off automatically on launch.
- Works with more "almost DOS 3.3 compatible" software.
- Now uses correct ProDOS system file launch facilities (rather than
the message center), which hopefully means it will work with other
program launchers.
- Cleaned up a few minor problems as suggested by users.
I still haven't made the decision to complete version 2.0 which will,
if completed, have the following features:
- Full read/write version (not just read only like version 1.0 -> 1.3).
- The launcher will work on a //e or //c (with quit via control-reset),
with no loss of functionality for the GS user.
[I'm not ignoring those 2e user's sending mail - all replies bounce].
- There will be a CDA to allow you to swap which "disks" are in which
"drives".
