I know who you are. but I'll help you anyway, 4E lock means that it can't be overwritten probably locked dummy. comment out the lines cmd lock Merlin and cmd unlock Merlin. The lines are at the end of the merlin-16+ 4.12 source code.

To everyone else, I have the original Merlin-16+ Source Code also if anybody wants or needs a copy. I worked with Glen on it as well as the 8 bit version. Way back when... I'm, an Apple Employee and have been since 1972.

1972 seems a bit early to have been an Apple Employee.

Yeah, considering that didn't release the Apple I until Apr 11, 1976 and the company was founded only the beginning of that month. Almost makes me wonder if we have a troll here.

Yeah considering that Apple didn't exist prior to Apr 1, 1976 and the Apple I was only released 10 days after that. Almost makes me wonder if we have a troll here.

There's a guy who likes to take source code for vintage computer systems and change the name to make it look like he was the one who wrote it. He tried doing it with a Nibble Program and he tried doing it with Brutal Deluxe's LemminGS. There's no way we're going to help him misrepresent Merlin as having been written by him.

Hi Michael. How's that $60,000,000.00 doing for you?
