I've hit upon a wondrous discovery. A chap at apple has sent me a MUCH better apple // simulator which is written for BSD4.2 4.3. I've not gotten a chance to compile it, but the code is commented and much better structured than the one which was recently poseted to xanth. I've placed it via anonymous ftp at xanth.cs.odu.edu in incoming/amiga. The file name is something like apple2.tar.Zuu and it is a uuencoded, tarred and compressed file. The original author can be reached as ben@apple.com. Good Luck, and let me know if anyone ports it to the amiga. (especially if some brave sole gets a hires graphics mode working) -- <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> < FRANK BRANHAM | "I exist; therefore I am." > < Georgia Institute of Technology | -The Patchwork Quilt > < Internet: gt4662b@prism.gatech.edu | by August Derleth >

Apparently, the code contained a copy of the Apple II+ ROM code and therefore wasn't supposed to be distributed. Geez, you'd think for a machine as old as the Apple II+, Apple would be willing to make the ROMs public by now. I can understand not wanting the ROMs public for a machine they are still selling, but I doubt anyone's going to steal the II+ ROMs and try to market a II+ clone. (maybe they would in some third world or communist contries, but Apple doesn't market there so what would they care?) Methinks Apple is a bit too paranoid and posessive about their stuff sometimes. Oh well, I wish I could have gotten a copy before it was removed (I tried yesterday after I saw the post, but I couldn't connect to xanth for some reason at that time). Could anyone who might have gotten a copy before it got pulled please email a copy to me?

Posting it to comp.sources.misc or comp.sources.unix would be the apropos places, depending on it's size and UNIX-specificness. > Was anyone able to get a copy of this before it got pulled from the > site?

However, ben@apple.com was nice enough to send another one of the Xanth Archivists (Hi Scott!) a newer version that doesn't have the whole rom (I don't know if it works...) This version will be made available for anonymous ftp on xanth.cs.odu.edu as /pub/apple2.tar.Z as soon as I can get the other Archivist to put it there... ...tad
