To legally use this program after a ten day evaluation period please send US$10 (or Australian $12) to: John MacLean 2 Grant Place St Ives, NSW, 2075 AUSTRALIA Informal Bit: ------------- I would also really appreciate any suggestions for improvements or encouragements to be sent to the same address. I know its a pain to write a letter, but if you would like something changed I'll probably do it - but I need to know about it. I also have access to the internet at: johnmac@fawlty.towers@munnari.oz.au and regularly read comp.sys.apple2 if anyone wants to contact me. Installation: ------------- You simply install the ICONs in your ICON directory, create a directory called DOS3.3 in the root directory of your hard disk, and copy the remaining files to this directory. Converting DOS 3.3 Files and Disks: ----------------------------------- Files and disks are converted using the DOS3.3.COPIER program. It has further instructions when you run it, but its all pretty straight forward. You have the option of configuring each file to automatically slow down to 1Mhz on launch (and return to normal speed on quitting). Launching and Quitting: ----------------------- After converting programs, they can be launched from the Finder by double clicking on their ICONs. To quit from the program, go to the CDA menu, select "Quit DOS 3.3", and then select "Quit". This will return you to the Finder. [BTW, Apple holds a Trade Mark on "Finder".] About Key Bored: ---------------- Key Bored was a program I wrote about ten years ago on my ][+. At this stage I did not know about assemblers, so you might find it amusing to look through the code (it was all written in machine code directly). I had to use lots of NOPs in case my code had to change! Anyway, I thought some people might find it amusing - and it can be used to show how the launcher works also. Hope You Like It! -----------------
