[comp.sys.apple2] Apple Psystem 1.3 and attach.* from Psystem 1.1

John_A_Pham@cup.portal.com (10/30/90)

Hi,
     I'm reading my Psystem 1.3 manual and can not find anything
about ATTACHUD.CODE, ATTACH.DRIVERS, and ATTACH.DATA from Psystem 1.1.  
My question is, can I still use those ATTACH*.* drivers in Psystem 1.3?
Is anyone else still use this os?
Is Apple still support this product at all?
 
John

   I used Apple Pascal extensively from 1981 until 1988 (when I switched to 
TML Pascal on the GS), and still have a few programs I use on the p-system.
   The attached driver format changed between 1.2 and 1.3; Apple offered a 
conversion program that would modify ATTACH*.* to the new format. I don't 
recall whether there were any differences between 1.1 and 1.2.
   Are these drivers you wrote yourself, or were they supplied to you by
someone else? If you wrote them yourself it would be a fairly easy task
to run them through the new ATTACHUD. Otherwise you'd have to find the
proper conversion program(s).
   I looked in my APDA catalog and noticed they sell the Pascal 1.3 system
bundled together with driver support tools.
