As you will have guessed from the title, this article has to
do with Hyper C for the Apple//e. I recently acquired it
from various ftp sites around north america. I have the
ProDOS version up and running like a charm, except for a
couple of things which I will get to in a few moments.
The major concern of this article is CDOS. That is the
bootable version of Hyper C which I also have a copy of. It
is not compatible with DOS 3.3, ProDOS, Pascal, CP/M or
anything else I can find - hence the problem.
The disk I have is missing one file, namely OPSYS. This is
a rather important file and I am prevented from doing
anything much without it. Because none of the other
operating system recognize the CDOS disk I can't move files
to or from it and am therefore prevented from gaining access
to several really useful utilities which I know are on the
CDOS disk. IT IS A REAL NUISANCE!!!!! Several of the
utilities that I need for library management are on the CDOS
disk but not included in the ProDOS version. In addition,
there are several "training" utilities that it would be nice
to have access to.
Because I don't have OPSYS I can't do things like check
what volumes are online, get help (by typing ?) or very many
other things like move or copy (mv, cp) just to name a
couple more.
If you have a copy of Hyper C with a CDOS disk that
works, i.e. has OPSYS on it, I would very much like to hear
from you.
In addition, if you have ProDOS compatible versions of
the following utilities (or their equivalents, or know how
to transfer from CDOS to ProDOS) I would like to hear from
you also:
echo
format
lib
list
print
testflags
As if the fore-going wasn't enough, if anyone has
original C code for any or all of the parts of Hyper C I
would very much like to get copies of that also.
Thanks very much in advance.

P.S. Of course, what I have is available to anyone on
request and I will certainly post COMPLETED versions
of everything when and if I get them.
