Hi, I am lucky enough to own a version of GSoft BASIC Free Version.
But is this still available elsewhere for other programmers -
legally?
I ask this because I wanted to support the GS community beyond
Complete Pascal - there is probably another group of programmers who
love Appelsoft but don't want the constraint of Pascal. But even
though I might be able to develop some codes to share, it is useless
if the runtime environment is no longer available.
Taken from the Getting.Started file:

Why the Free Version Exists
---------------------------
This free version of GSoft BASIC serves two purposes: First, it is
an advertisement for the full commercial version. We obviously hope
you will like GSoft BASIC enough to buy the commercial package.
Second, we hope that this version will increase the use of GSoft BASIC
among those who won't end up buying the commercial version. The
programs and general interest created by that group will help the
entire community grow, hopefully creating free or low cost source code
that all people who use GSoft BASIC will find useful.

I think this should be made available, either by the author or other
legal means, or allowing others to host the free version. If this is
publicly available, I will start a course to teach GSoft BASIC and
share my experience.
Apple IIGS Forever!
