Hello I have had a request to find a public domain (shareware?) program called Three Easy Pieces. Does anyone know of this program? Can it be FTP'ed from somewhere, or can someone send it to me? Thank you. Sincerely, Eddie H. Mikell Mississippi State University

BAD NEWS! Three EZ Pieces is a *commercial* program for the Apple /// (that's Apple THREE (3). It's, for all practical purposes, AppleWorks for the Apple ///. A pretty nice piece of software from what I hear. Sun Remarketing sells refurbished Apple ///'s, but I don't know about software (given the rate of recent Apple /// sales, programs for that model are not being marketed too aggressively ;-).

I seem to recall Three Easy Pieces as the original name for what later became AppleWorks. Alan H.

Network Comment: to #94 by obsolete!eddie%cc.msstate.edu I am sure I will not be the only one to respond...Three Easy Pieces is not and never has been public domain or shareware...it is the Apple /// (three) version of AppleWorks, written by Bob Lissner at the same time he did the original AppleWorks, a time when everyone at Apple thought the future of their company was in the Apple ///.

Network Comment: to #7817 by obsolete!eddie%cc.msstate.edu Three Easy Pieces was written for the Apple III computer and marketed by Apple. As far as I know, it's still a commercial program and hasn't been turned over to the public domain yet. Since it is an Apple III program, you can probably get it from Sun Marketing which is a company that supports the Apple III computer. They're located in the West somewhere. I don't have their address. proline: pro-novapple!daveharv uucp: crash!pro-novapple!daveharv arpa: crash!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com DIALCOM: 164:NVC100 Northern Virginia Apple Users Group >pro-novapple< 703-671-0416/300-2400 baud

> I have had a request to find a public domain (shareware?) program called > Three Easy Pieces. Does anyone know of this program? Can it be FTP'ed > from somewhere, or can someone send it to me? I believe that this was a prototype to AppleWorks and was written for the Apple /// (/// EZ Pieces). Actually, according to A2-Central, /// EZ Pieces was a converted program that originally started out as AppleWorks. Rupert Lissner (Robert?) was convinced by an Apple employee neighbor that the Apple /// was all they used at the company, and was the future of Apple computing. So, good ol' Rupert worked many days and nights converting the program (well, maybe it wasn't THAT hard), to a bum system that didn't outlast bread on the store shelves. /// EZ Pieces was released before AppleWorks; but, as you all know, hasn't outshined it by a long shot! BTW, it is still NOT public domain! Rupert still wants his royalty payments, however small they may be. Hope this clears things a bit :) Laer
