Looking for anyone with experience with a program called KIWI: Krill's Infocom Word Inspector. I got program from the ListServer at UTARLVM1, where it is listed as file no. 87-00244 in the APPLE2-L directory. Problems: After dutifully downloading and exec-ing text file, a BIN file called Kiwi is created. When attempting to run Kiwi, initial screen display as expected. Title of program is displayed and I am prompted to insert game disk and press any key. However, it doesn't matter whether I insert the game disk or not: pressing any key dumps me into the monitor (into 047A, if I remember correctly). A couple of sidenotes, then some specifics. The toggle drive command looks screwy-- initially, drive "c" is displayed. Pressing the "D" key to toggle the drive causes the display to switch and show that drive "@" has been selected. That's right--my choice of drives is either "c" or "@". No difference if I try the DOS patch suggested in the program docs or if I type "PR#1" prior to running program. Specs: Apple IIe, 128K, enhanced, two disk drives, Prodos v. 1.01(ok ok, I'm getting a more recent version any day now). Please send advice to address given in this posting.
