As someone who is new to the Apple arena (I was given a //e), I am
in need of some information on ProDos. I was given DOS 3.3 and a
copy of ProDos, version 1.1.1 (I think that's right - the memory's
starting to go...). I have read various references to newer releases
and would like to know:
1. Are the newer versions downwardly compatible to older releases
(will my software running under my current rev. of ProDos continue
to do so? Is disk formatting the same?)
2. How are the newer versions different (improved/changed)?
3. Would it behoove me to acquire a newer version of ProDos (which
one)?
Also, my previous experience has been with MS-DOS or an Op/Sys
where a kernal stays loaded in memory. So far, I'm seeing an Op/Sys
that must be reloaded after launching and exiting each application.
If someone would be so kind as to explain a better way, I (as an Apple
neophyte) would appreciate it.
Also, I would like to find a PD/Shareware telecomm package with a least
vt100 emulation if such a thing exists (Christmas budget woes).
Thanks in advance!
