      From: gatewa...@yahoo.com              Hi all,       Now that I FINALLY figured out how to transfer programs I made on my Apple II+       to a modern computer with a serial connection, I made a website where a few of       my programs are available to download. It's been a LONG time since I've made a       website and I'm        very rusty! (I had learned how to do it myself and I was never really that       experienced to begin with). I had to re-learn some HTML code, and I had to       look up things that have changed. The website is very basic (pun actually not       intended!), but I'm happy        with it so far and it gets the job done. I tried to give it kind of a "retro"       look to go along with the theme of vintage 8-bit computers.               The programs are in zip files. They include a .DO disk image which you can       load in an emulator like AppleWin. There are also .wav files which you can use       to transfer the program to a real Apple II computer, using the "cassette       input" jack. I made the wav        files with C2T. Just insert a blank disk into the Apple II drive, type "LOAD"       and play the wav file. The program will be automatically copied onto the disk.       Probably most of you are already familiar with the process. Most of the       programs have 2 versions        of the wav files...one that will format the disk first, and another that       doesn't format the disk. To be on the safe side, use a BLANK disk! I sometimes       had some weird problems with the settings in C2T and I'm not 100 percent sure       that it won't format the        disk!              I also included the BASIC source code in a separate folder, which you could       use to transfer to a real Apple II with a serial connection by sending the       text of the code.              Please also be sure to read the README text file in the zip files. They tell a       little more about the programs and how to use them. The "Map Maker" program       is definitely the biggest and most complex program. I wrote a thorough manual       that explains        everything about the program and how to use it...I definitely recommend       reading it!              At the moment, I have 3 programs available - "Cozy Cottage," "Common       Calculations," and "Map Maker." I'm working on more!              If anyone is interested in physical copies of the program with a floppy disk       and printed manual, just let me know. I had the manual for Map Maker printed       and bound, and it turned out pretty nice!              Here's the address for the website. Please a take a look and let me know what       you think!       https://lab6502.netlify.app/              - Chris Tobar              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
