Where's a good place to pick up Apple //GS public domain programs, and source code? I'm learning to program this puppy and would like lots of examples. Also, where can I get the documentation on A.C.E. and the other new toolsets that were just released with GS/OS? jawaid bazyar jb10320@uxa.cs.uiuc.edu

This is source code that Apple Developer Technical Support wrote to demonstrate many simple and advance features of the IIGS ToolBox. I should be uploading them over the next couple of weeks (there's a LOT of source code!!!).

Two answers: First, all Apple IIGS programmers are advised to join APDA, which distributes technical information and developer software. Second, freeware and shareware (low-cost but not free) can be found on numerous Bulletin Board Systems, and also on services such as Genie. BBSes are probably more of a risk with respect to picking up viruses. Genie has two libraries, one for routine Apple software and one more oriented toward software developers. Virtually all freeware/shareware worth having is available there (much of it also on other services such as CompuServe or The Source; AppleLink doesn't have much yet). I don't want to post commercial info but you should be able to find phone numbers etc. for these in some computer hobbyist magazine. The USEnet comp.binaries.apple newsgroup also receives a lot of freeware/shareware contributions, and it is archived on some BITNET site (BROWNVM I think).

I too would be interested in SPECIFIC BBS, etc locations of pd, freeware SOURCES. What I have found are pirate boards, binaries, etc. I dont want those times of things. Surely there are a number of boards which specialize in source code? I do know that Compuserve MAUG (tm) has quite a collection of both source and binaries - not as many as I *would like but more than I have found elsewhere. -- Larry W.
