I've hit upon a wondrous discovery. A chap at apple has sent me a MUCH better apple // simulator which is written for BSD4.2 4.3. I've not gotten a chance to compile it, but the code is commented and much better structured than the one which was recently poseted to xanth. I've placed it via anonymous ftp at xanth.cs.odu.edu in incoming/amiga. The file name is something like apple2.tar.Zuu and it is a uuencoded, tarred and compressed file. The original author can be reached as ben@apple.com. Good Luck, and let me know if anyone ports it to the amiga. (especially if some brave sole gets a hires graphics mode working) -- <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> < FRANK BRANHAM | "I exist; therefore I am." > < Georgia Institute of Technology | -The Patchwork Quilt > < Internet: gt4662b@prism.gatech.edu | by August Derleth >

Apparently, the code contained a copy of the Apple II+ ROM code and therefore wasn't supposed to be distributed. Geez, you'd think for a machine as old as the Apple II+, Apple would be willing to make the ROMs public by now. I can understand not wanting the ROMs public for a machine they are still selling, but I doubt anyone's going to steal the II+ ROMs and try to market a II+ clone. (maybe they would in some third world or communist contries, but Apple doesn't market there so what would they care?) Methinks Apple is a bit too paranoid and posessive about their stuff sometimes. Oh well, I wish I could have gotten a copy before it was removed (I tried yesterday after I saw the post, but I couldn't connect to xanth for some reason at that time). Could anyone who might have gotten a copy before it got pulled please email a copy to me?

I also think that most (or >all) of the computer's ROM listing was included inside one of the books. When you bought it you bought the rights to use the ROM on that machine. Copying the ROM elsewhere, at least for commercial use, doubtlessly violates the contract. The question I have is whether copying it for personal use does (can I make an archiveal copy of my ROMs on my Unix machine? :-). -kee -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, press 3. | 300/1200/2400 baud | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
