I'm happy to announce that the II community has 2 new freeware releases.
These freewares are currently available in the Apple II Gmail account.
Please feel free to upload them to other sites as applicable. Note that
these archives are still incomplete and we are still looking for any
additional materials i.e. disk images and/or documentation anyone may
have available. That said, there has been enough donations of materials
to make both software packages useful. Some info as follows...
Kitchen Sink's Microdot. This is a BASIC.SYSTEM replacement environment
which saves memory for program use. This software eventually grew into
the System II environment which is also freeware. Contact was also made
with Jerry Kindall the program's author. Jerry claims no copyright
ownership to Microdot as he was simply under contract to Kitchen Sink
Command.com by David Sugar. This is a ProDOS 8 shell and environment
with a large number of commands and batch files available. There is also
a goodly amount of technical info and other associated softwares on the
extra beta disks. Sadly, the source code and original documentation was
lost in a flood (along with many other items) or this package would have
included this too. This is also a useful environment for folks who like
the Kyan Pascal development tools with which it is compatible.
Thanks goes to David Sugar and Eric Bush for re-releasing these
products. Thanks also to Steven Hirsch and Paul R. Santa-Maria for
supplying materials.
For those who don't know how to access the GMail account, you can search
this groups archive for the information or give it a couple of days for
people to repost these files. If all else fails, contact me.
Cheers,
Mike T
