Hello there. I recently picked-up the turbobee demo from comp.binaries.apple2 and when I tried to unskrink it, It told me it was damaged. I then downloaded turbobee from tybalt.caltech.edu and that copy also had CRC-check error. Could the author please repost it ... you should also remove the one on tybalt. Thanks.

I checked the one that was uploaded to tybalt (and not the one I captured from the binaries, which might have been a mistake) -- it unpacked fine but crashed into the monitor when I booted it. I snooped through the boot code and it looks like it couldn't load something because it jumps to $9600 and there's garbage there, and it BRKs at 9607 or so. >Could the author please repost it ... you should also remove the one >on tybalt. I deleted them both, assuming they were from the same packing (I think it was corrupted before it was packed, or the program barely works. They do some marginal softswitch stuff, and it still crashed when I turned my Zip off, so it looks like a fragile demo to me in any case). Todd Whitesel toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu

In regards to the Turbo Bee Demo. I posted this to comp.binaries.apple2 and uploaded it to Tybalt. When I first botted Turbo Bee, I found that it crashed if I simply tried to open-apple- reset while my machine was booting. It wouldn't work. However, when I changed the start up slot in the control panel to slot #5, it worked fine (and was quite impressive too). I can't explain the error on the uploads to binaries, with the exception that the parts may have been a bit too big and got truncated by the mail server. From the mail I've received it seems that the last part (the part less than $3000 long) was missing. Anyways, I had reports that the copy on Tybalt was fine (successfully unpacked and booted). So, tell me what you want me to do. I've gotten fed up with the mail server. It seems to mess up everything I try to post these days. -Scott -- = R.

Well, I got the copy that was on c.b.a2, and it worked fine. Kinda cute demo. I'd like to see it running on the TurboRez card... > Todd Whitesel > toddpw @ tybalt.caltech.edu -Greg T. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ Any resemblance between the above | ARPANet : gt0t+@andrew.cmu.edu ^ ^ views and those of my employer, my | ^ ^ terminal, or the view out my window | ^ ^ are purely coincidental. | Bitnet : R746GT0T@CMCCVB ^

>> it looks like a fragile demo to me in any case
Well, I downloaded the TurboBee demo from America Online, and when I unpacked
it to a 3.5" disk it worked perfectly on my ROM 3 IIGS (went a little bonkers
when I tried to get into the control panel w/OA-Ctl-Esc while the program was
running, but it was still a nice graphics demo)... It looked almost exactly the
same as the demo which was running on the prototype TurboRez at AppleFest/NJ
almost a year ago... (I actually couldn't see any differences at all, but,
then, I didn't get a real long look at the TurboRez demo at AFNJ anyway... :)
