Was it ever published? I suspect the operation was so low budget at
that time that they might not have given much consideration to this.
Once the money was there for the Apple II, they could afford to do
things right.
I have the collected volumes of Dr. Dobbs, and it sure wasn't printed
in there. Steve Wozniak did publish bits of Apple code in there in
the early days (the disassembler comes to mind; I used it on my
OSI SUperboard), and there was at least another article, but no BASIC.
He had an article in BYTE, must have been 1977, about the Apple II that didn't
have code but did go into the inner workings of the hardware and
software (the bit I most remember is about the Sweet-16 interpreter.
I can't see him publishing it in one of the other magazines. So I
guess you are limited to something from Apple, if there was such a thing.
Of course, if you could find someone with an Apple I, hopefully they'd have
the binary, and you could disassemble it.
