To those interested in my Apple//e emulator: The emulator is an enhanced Apple//e with 128k and six 'disk drives'. My Apple //e emulator has two versions. The first is a curses based text only program. I've run it on SGI, encore, A/UX 2.0 and RS6000s. I believe it to be fairly compatable with most UNIXs. The other version uses GL to do LORES and HGR graphics. I have run it on SGI and RS6000s. It seems to work well on SGI and some bugs in the IBM GL restricted its usefulness on the RS6000 (Although I hope those disappeared in the released version of AIX). I will be adding Xlib graphics when I get the SGI 3.3 system release for all you X fans. Now the hard news. It is not incredibly fast. On my 4D120GTX it runs about 70% of a regular //e (GL version). The curses program is faster. I know where the holdup is but at this time will not get around to speeding it up for awhile. So I would like to release to the public the curses version right now. And as soon as I get my next OS system update I will release the Xlib and GL flavors. The source to the curses version is available via anonymous/FTP from: isca01.icaen.uiowa.edu (128.255.19.175) in unix/apple2e. Enjoy... -- rjf.
