Re: Anyone feel like helping me with setting up Marinetti on my GS

Since the Marinetti API is available through Toolbox calls, you can use any 
IIgs programming language that supports Toolbox calls.  I know Marinetti 
header files were released for Orca/M, Orca/C, Orca Pascal, and Merlin 
Assembly.  I don't where these all can be found now, but the Orca/M header 
files are included with the Spectrum Internet Suite source code.
