[comp.sys.apple] II+ UnShrinkIT

nicholaA@moravian.EDU (03/13/89)

II+ UnShrinkIT, the Apple II+ version of UnShrinkIt is available for download
on AppleLink PE (so far).  I also sent BinSCII'd copies of it to murph sewall
to post to apple2-L, dave whitney, jason blochowiak, and grant delaney. If
anyone else would like a copy, let me know.

The II+ version of UnShrinkIt will work on *ANY* apple with an (gasp!)
autostart rom.  This includes:

   Apple II+
   Apple IIe
   Enhanced Apple IIe
   Apple IIc (all revs, I guess.. someone send me one)
   Apple IIc Plus
   Apple IIgs

The whole program manages (just barely) to fit into 12k.  Please don't ask
for many new features for this program because I believe at last count I had
about 208 bytes left total before I had to do some strange things to squeeze
more memory out of a 48k machine.

If anyone has any problems with either copy of II+ UnShrinkIT or ShrinkIT, let
me know, and *PLEASE* tell me which program you were using, what you were doing
at the time, your system configuration if you feel it's relevant.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  The II+ UnShrinkIT program is also freeware.

(I toyed with the idea of making it ShareWare just because I didn't want to
write it, but my altruistic instincts won out in the end... yeah riiight. :)

Just in case anyone didn't know, if you are running II+ UnShrinkIT or II+
ShrinkIT, and you are using a Basis apple clone, you *HAVE* to have something
plugged into the joystick port.  Evidently the basis pulls all the i/o
softswitch locations high when not in use, and that does strange things to
routines which test the open-apple and closed-apple keys (because if nothing
is plugged in, they register as being held-down.  To my knowledge, this isn't
the case on the Apple II+, and certainly not any unenhanced IIe).
