True...it's not fancy, but it works nicely. (There's no box, though.) >Question: when will we see Davex 1.3?? How about a 65802 16-bit version >for ProDOS 8?? The next release will be called 1.26. I actually finished 1.25, but someone found an icky bug (I broke getting keyboard input during an exec file). Soon. I don't have any plans to do a 65802 version, although everybody is free to write external commands that require a 65802 if they want to. Davex doesn't currently even require a 65C02...works great on a II+ or an unenhanced IIe. There's a small amount of GS-specific 65816 code in there (for displaying the time, and in a couple Gs-only commands, for example). Are there particular features that are too slow & would benefit from special 65802 code, or what? -- David A. Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems Apple II Developer Technical Support | P.O.
