A mechanism for attaching device drivers to the OS (via SYSTEM.ATTACH).
I'm pretty sure the later version of the documentation/package includes
the attachment utilities + documentation.

The attach interface also exists for 1.1 and 1.2 as well, but the
package was seperate then.

My 1.3 documentation is the same as yours it would seem... In a binder?

Well, the Fortran implementation was a sort of 'Add-on', as was
SuperPILOT. I've never played with Fortran on the Apple II, but the
SuperPILOT package was pretty nifty. I have the documentation for that
one if anyone cares....

There was also a couple of packages distributed by APDA that contained
various libraries for double hires and mousetext based desktop
interfaces - Syndicomm still sell these.
