[mod.computers.apollo] New version of MacApollo?

krowitz@mit-kermit.UUCP (David Krowitz) (11/27/86)

When I received my version of MacApollo (version 1.3) from ADUS
a few months ago, the documentation stated that a more complete
version which would handle GMR, 3DGMR, and text editing in addition
to GPR (which is handled by version 1.3) would be coming in the
future. It's been over 6 months since I got my version. Does 
anyone know if an updated version (with some of the promised
features) has been released? Can I get a copy?

I'm now at Michigan (for those who don't know I left Utah...).

Yes, there will be a new version of Mac Apollo at some point, but the next
release won't handle GMR/GMR3D.  The primary difference between the next
release and the ADUS version is that the new release works over an Internet
connection using a Kinetics box instead of over a serial line, it does
include a local editor, and is generally more reliable.

We will announce it when it is ready for distribution.
