Welcome back to the world of Apple II. Unfortunately experiences such as yours,
of a developer finding his or her work uploaded to the web without their
knowledge or permission, has torn this community apart. Many of our best
developers, still active and interested in producing products and support for
the Apple II today, have given up in disgust, and either left, or continue to
work semi-privately with the users. It is a terrible state of affairs, and very
difficult to deal with sometimes.
On the other hand, there are many good people and Apple II upload sites on the
web - perhaps someone here is familiar with how your program got "released."
I admire your positive attitude, since you seem to be happy with your find.
Thank you for telling your story, and for sharing your work with the members of
this board. We hope to see more of it soon.
I sold an Orca/M on eBay a few months ago; if I still had it, I would give it
to you. Good luck.
