I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW.

How does it manage the stack? The basic 6502's 256 bytes in page 1 isn't much. Presumably it manages an additional psuedo 16 bit stack ptr. I managed to compile my favourite text …

Have you looked into cc65? You ought to be able to build it on a Mac, and it supports Apple II as a target.

Curious if anyone knows of any cross compiler or Apple II Dev tools that run on 68k macs? Thanks, Nathan

Blame Apple. Top secret fees, overpriced docs. Apple wanted 895 dollars for the programming manuals for newton. DOCUMENTATION! Microsoft that same time frame gave away cdroms ful…

Please consider that some authors do not want their software to be freely developed after they have abandoned it. It is all fine and dandy to label them as greedy because of that,…

Just so you know, from a message sent to the NewtonTalk mailing list on June 14th: Dear Newton Users, I'm pleased to announced that ATA Support can now be downloaded in a f…

Not a small part of the problem seems to be that some software serials were generated only when you supplied the ID number of the particular Newton unit itself on which you wanted …

I do think that if a programmer ceases support of a product they should either make an unprotected full version available for distribution or else continue to provide unlock codes …

Sorry, my eyes glaze over at five-line sentences.

Unfortunately not all programmers have copyright over their own code in the first place. If they're developing to hire, their employer may own the rights, and if the employer fold…

Yeah! Quit yer whinin' and get codin' Click to expand... The last time I did that, a computer howled in pain. And that was just six lines of code.

I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. Click to expand... How much software have you written and distributed for free? Click to …

This is a subject that has been picking at me for some time. I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. What is worse is the limitations th…

They walk a very fine line in the current state as well. They need to prevent piracy and create funds to continue such niche software. But the moment they go under or are not utili…

Personally you can either track down the original developer through the internet and get the software registered, or just pirate it. I don't think developers are greedy pigs, if t…

You mean iSerial doesn't help?

That isn't a problem limited to the Newton. The Amiga shares it. MS-DOS shares it. In a sense, I would argue that our sense of entitlement is a form of greed. Though, on the wh…
