I'm not going to have the use of my IIgs for awhile, and I need a term
program that I can use on my sister's IIe.  It'll be using a DataLink
2400 internal modem.  I can't use anything that requires a 65c02.
Freeware/Shareware suggestions please.  VT100 capability a must!

Stephen Hood:

I've used before Music Writer (6 staves edition, the middle one) and I
won't exactly say it's the kind of program I feel comfortable with.
Firstly, the version I used came with System 4.0 so although you can run
it off a System 6.0 finder, it won't take advantage of System 6.0
stuffs.  And speed is definitely slow.  It runs fine under Zip 9 Mhz but
crawls at 2.8 Mhz.  The program supports MIDI playback and Ensoniq
playback but I recommend that you use an external synthesizer for MIDI
playback 'coz the program only offers 16 preset Ensoniq sounds which are
very thin and soft.

The power of Music Writer is of course the notational features.  It has
practically everything I could need to score a music piece.  The
printout on my ImageWriter II is superb; even my 486 Clone friend was
gaping at the printout.  Basically Music Writer does what it advertises
except that it doesn't do it in the most efficient way.

Also, I forgot to mention earlier, the version I had couldn't input
lyrics although the manual said so.  Any attempt to input lyrics on the
score will corrupt EVERYTHING!  So be warned!  I don't know if Pyware
has an upgraded version of Music Writer so you'll have to check that out
yourself.  But all I can say is that if you're willing to bear with the
inconvenience, the program does work!

A friend of mine, not connected to Internet, is trying to use an FPE with
an Apple IIe.  Thus far, he hasn't gotten anywhere, partially because the
FPE came with a 3 1/2" disk and he has 5 1/4" drives.  He's coming to visit
on Friday, when I should be able to move the software onto a 5 1/4" disk.

Not knowing anything about the FPE, I'm wondering whether there's anything
in particular I should advise him about.  Other than his wanting to do some
mathematical programming with the coprocessor, using assembly language, I
really don't know what he wants to do.

The Amiga has 4 "oscillators", or more accurately 4 digital to analog
converters.  "Oscillator" is a term left over from analog synthesis
techniques that has held on in the Ensoniq terminology for some reason.

It's been a while since I've seen Electric Duet.  If this is the Apple II
program that managed to play more than once "voice" from the 1-bit speaker,
yup, the analogy is appropriate.  Games that managed to do this are Airheart
(still amazing) and I think the opening screen for Archon.  And of course,
there's Music COnstruction Set.

I remember some music program that tried to do it by just playing notes very
fast.  A game that produced music like this (through arpeggio like stuff)
was Microwave.  Anyone remember it? :)

With wider DACs, you could add multiple waveforms together to form a single
composite waveform, then output that through the speaker with no apparent
loss of sound quality other than perhaps a bit of distortion induced by
truncation errors during scale&add process.  Tracker-players for machines
like the SparcStation (1 or 2 channels), the IBM-PC (many configurations),
and even the NeXT have to add tracks together to output through a limited
number of DACs.  Sound quality is also affected by low output rates
in some cases (like the Sparc with 8-bit 8K/sec mono output, or any
SoundBlaster equipped IBM-PC)

accelerator for the //e, but the chip numbers are rubbed off so I can't 
tell.  It doesn't seem to do anything when I plug it in.  

The Apple-Cat is definately one of the most impressive Apple II cards of

But it is.  If the game would have not been pirated, much more money
would have been made for DataMost [I think that they are the ones who
published Bilestoad] and they might have stayed in business.
Regardless, someone lost money by a lot of piracy.

Did I count them?  No.  I did however, attend numerous summer computer
camps, and virtually everyone I met either had a copy of The Bilestoad
with them or had friends who had a pirated copy of it.  The pirated
version I had had an incredibly quick load to it, whereas other pirated
versions had a different loading mechanism.

Even the people I talk to at school who had Apple II's said that had a
pirated version of The Bilestoad.  If this is an accurate sample of the
status of The Bilestoad, and I believe it is, I don't think its
unreasonable to assume that there was an incredible number of copies
made.

I had assumed that you wanted the maps for achieving higher islands in

I grabbed a couple and they do appear to be the genuine article (including
what looks like a copy of the Bilestoad).  Basically they're Apple II disk
images converted to work on an IBM PC Apple II emulator (which is also
included in the directory; looks like a fairly good one, actually...).

I find it difficult to believe that "nyet" would be unaware of their presence
or purpose, especially since the "incoming" directory is empty.  I suggest
you send mail to the user and to root (the system admins can't be held

Well, although TransProg may not work, Desktop Utilities (from GyruS) does
a fairly mean switcher under 6.0...the program is pretty close to "the most
useful utility set ever created" or whatever it is that they claim in their

MultiSwitcher, 2. DA install/uninstall, 3. Screen Saver) it has have
equivalents in use on my system (1. Out to Launch, which is a VERY small
and VERY efficient launcher, 2. Font/DA installer (which also does fonts,
although it DOESN'T do Inits, 3. Screen Saver NDA, which has a neato fade
and doesn't fade when I play a game, although I would like a P8 saver)

Organization: Iowa State University, Ames IA
Date: Sat, 25 Jul 1992 02:39:56 GMT

I'm torqued!  I bought the game Nine Princes in Amber by Telarium Corp.
from Seenu Hariprasad, and they just arrived yesterday.  I've been trying
to get a good copy of them, but none of my copies will boot.  So out of
frustration I tried booting the originals.  *NOTHING!*  Copy II Plus
won't let me change the boot program, saying there isn't one.  Hmmmm...

I strongly doubt they were like this when Seenu sent them to me, so I
have to wonder at the possibilities:

1) the copy protection doesn't like my smartport, or the four drives chained
to it.  That's a possibility.

2) the DOS that it uses doesn't like the above.

3) US Snail hosed my disks somehow.

Each of these leaves me with two choices.  Since it's a legit, original
version of the game, I could bitch to Telarium Corp.  Does anybody know
if they're still around?  The game is copyright 1985, so they could have
dropped off the map by now.  I could also hire some cracker-type to make
it work, send him the originals, and just run from my new "cracked" copies.
I do know nothing I've done has managed to work so far, and I'm annoyed
enough to try practically anything now, legal or not.

Don't get the idea I'm blaming Seenu -- I mention him just so you know
that I bought them legally from a reputable person on comp.sys.apple2; I
have no reason to suspect the game was anything but playable when it left
his hands.  My copy attempts couldn't have over-written something since
the originals have no write-protect tabs, and I've never installed the
override switch on either of my drives.

Any hints, suggestions, or volunteers are welcome.  I'm out of my league
when it comes to this sort of stuff -- I administer networks and do
database programming, not crack copy protection.
