Previous versions required the Apple Programmer's Workshop (APW) or ByteWorks ORCA/M shells to operate. The stand-alone revision can be launched from any GS/OS application capable of launching EXE files, including the Finder. The MD-BASIC product now comes with its own menu-driven development shell for those desiring more integration than a standard program selector provides. Registered owners of earlier versions can update to latest version for free by sending their original disk to Morgan Davis Group. MD-BASIC translates structured source code into Applesoft BASIC programs. You can LIST and RUN the resulting programs on any Apple II series computer, as with any standard Applesoft program. Using MD-BASIC, the programmer can create Applesoft programs in a structured BASIC language environment without making existing tools for Applesoft BASIC obsolete. Requirements: Apple IIGS and GS/OS. Optional development shell such as the Apple Programmer's Workshop (APW), ORCA/M, or ECP-16 is supported but not required. MD-BASIC is available for $49.95 suggested retail through reputable distributors only. APW (TM) Apple Programmers and Developers Association ORCA/M (TM) Byte Works, Inc.
