I do belong to APDA and I feel that you *MUST* distribute it through them as a minimum. It would, however, be far better to post the files to APPLE2-L. I think that this would be important and useful enough information to enough people to warrant the traffic. I would also suggest that you distribute the assembled (or compiled) binary files in addition to the source. Not all of us have every assembler/compiler (I use TML Pascal with the Toolbox routines). I sometimes find it very helpful to be able to run the program while I am looking at the source. I think that you are working on a very important project, and I only hope that you distribute the information to as many interested parties as possible. Remember, even though I am not a registered developer, the more knowledgeable I am about the Apple, the more hardware and software I am going to buy and the more I will tell my friends about it. Who knows, some day I might become registered! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------- J.
