Hi. Just thought I'd draw your attention to a pile of Newton developer's tools that are being offloaded in Melbourne, Australia. With our dollar currently around 60 cents US, pri…

Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton never caught on. Click to expand... I don't think available software was the main problem for the early Newton. In fact, I …

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 …

Really? That is AMAZING. It's like the iPhone but even worse. I'd love to see some scans of this secret contract bullshit. Shit, if this is true then it's no wonder the Newton ne…

Well I appreciate everyone's suggestions. I really didn't mean anything in particular. C, Pascal, Assembly... just curious what options exist. MPW and OrgASM or DASM looks inte…

On the other hand, maybe the original question implies a desire to program 6502 assembly on a mac? Click to expand... I discounted that, otherwise the term "assembler" would ha…

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 e…

I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW. Click to expand... The Orca compiler you're thinking of is Orca/C and you can find it here: …

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,…

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…
