OK. So what's in this issue and what have we lined up for you over the next few months, read on and find out... As John is away, and | ran out of time, Mac Mumblings had to take a rest this month, but it should be back again next month. We have once again received quite a few News Release sheets from CoNeXus, and other companies like NetComm. most of which relate to Macintosh networking packages, for those interested they can be found in the clubs HardCopy library. Macintosh and Apple // software will be demonstrated by Logical Solutions at the August meeting, which includes. so Tam told. free ID tags produced by one of the packages to be demonstrated. Also in late August, but after the meeting, Ann. Steve, and myself will fly down to Sydney to represent the club at the 4th Annual Apple User Group Conference, this uip will be my second as Editor for Apple-Q and I hope it will be just as informative as the last one. Once again details of the conference will be written up in the Apple-Bug, but they will probably miss the September issue as it would normally be on it’s way to the printers by then . ‘The September meeting will be taken up mainly with Apple-Q's last Auction for 1992, more details on this can be found along with an Auction Form on pages | | and 12 of this issue. Please remember that Apple-Q Inc. takes no responsibility for the items put up for auction. The goods are in the main second hand, and as such, people should expect missing documents and or disks etc. In most cages this is noted down by the seller. . . but this is not to be n upon. aside from which all goods to be Auctioned are laid out for viewing prior to the start ofthe Auction. As in the past Bob Godbehere will be the master of ceremonies. In October we have our AGM with the Committee elections, and of course FREE Apple Ice cream cake, Apple Cider, and Apple slices, will once again be given away to all attending members and their family. As is our custom the October meeting will sce the old committee step down, anda newly elected one take it's place. _ As this event draws closer, | would ask that you start thinking about taking up one of the positions available. in next months issue I will present a brief resume’ of each position in order to give you some idea of what is involved, and if you think you would like to know more about a particular position simply contact the member currently filling that post and ask for more details.

As we continue our travels examining the history of the Apple Il, let's fine tune the time-machine card on our souped- up Apple II to concentrate specifically on the next version of the Il, the lle. As before, just accelerate the microprocessor speed to 88 MHz, and watch out for the digital fire-trails! Destination: 1982. Between the years 1979 and 1983. although no new versions of the Apple I were released, it enjoyed a broad popularity and annually increasing sales. The open architecture of the computer. with its fully described hardware and firmware function via the Reference Manual, made it appealing both to hardware and software hackers. ‘Third-party companies designed cards to plug into the intemal slots. and their function varied from making it possible to display and use 80-column text. to clocks and cards allowing the Apple Il to control a variety of external devices. During this time there was also an explosion of new software written for this easily expandable machine. from the realm ofbusiness ( VisiCalc and other spreadsheet clones). to utilities, to games of all types. Each month a host of new products would be available for those who wanted to find things to do with their computer, and the Apple II was 1 .ngaplace in the home. the classroom, and the office. At Apple Computer. Inc.. however, the Apple II was not viewed with the same degree of loyalty. By September 1979 the Apple Il had continued to be a sales leader. However. few at Apple believed that the II could continue to be a best seller for more than another year or two. Since Apple Computer, Inc. was a business, and not just a vehicle for selling the Apple Il computer, they began to enlarge the engineering department to begin designing new products.<1> ‘These new design efforts had begun as far back as late 1978. Their first etfort was an enhanced version of the Apple Il that used some custom chips. but that project was never ever finished. They also began work on a different. more powerful computer that would use several identical microprocessor chips sharing tasks. The main advantage would be speed. and the ability to do high precision calculations. This computer was code-named Lisa, and because it was such a revolutionary type of design, they knew it would take many years to come to actual production. Because of the power it was to have, Apple executives felt that Lisa was the future ofthe company.<2>,<14> Because they knew that the Lisa project would take a jong. time to complete, and because the Apple Il was perceived to have only a short remaining useful life as a product, they began a new computer project called the Apple Ill. Instead of building upon the Apple Il as a basis for this new computer, they decided to start from scratch. Also, although Wozniak made most of the design decisions for the Apple II, a committee at Apple decided what capabilities the Apple Il should have. They decided that the Apple Ill was to be a business machine. and not have the home or arcade-game reputation that the Tl had. It was to have a full upper/lowercase keyboard and display, 80-column text. anda more comprehensive operating system, They also decided that since it would be a while before many application programs would be available for this new computer. it should be capable of running existing Apple II software. In some ways this handicapped the project. since it was then necessary to use the same microprocessor and disk drive hardware as was used in the Apple I<3> Apple executives also decided that with the introduction of the Apple Ill they wanted a clear separation between it and the Apple Il in regards to marketing. They did not want ANY overlap between the two. The Ill would be an 80- column business machine and was predicted to have ninety percent of the market, while the Apple II would be a 40- column home and school machine and would have ten percent ofthe market. Apple's executives were confident that after the release of the Apple III. the Apple II would quickly lose its appeal.<4> Because of their desire for a strong and distinct product separation, the Apple II emulation mode designed into the Apple III was very limited. The engineers actually ADDED hardware chips that prevented access to the II's more advanced features from Apple II emulation mode. Apple II emulation couldn't use 80 columns, and had access to only 48K memory and none of the better graphics modes. As a result, it wouldn't run some of the better Apple Il business software, during a time when there wasn't much NEW business software for the Apple Ill. ‘The Apple Ill engineers were given a one year target date for completion. It was ready for release in the spring of 1980, but there were problems with both design and manufacturing. (It was the first time that Apple asa company tried to come out with a new product: the Apple Il had been designed and built by Wozniak when he WAS the engineering department). The first Apple Il] computers were plagued with nearly 100% defects and had to be recalled for fixes. Although Apple took the unprecedented step of repairing all of the defective computers at no charge, they never recovered the momentum they lost with that first Apple-Bug 6 misstep, and the Ill did not become the success Apple needed ito be.<3> Although all of the bugs and limitations of the Apple Ill were eventually overcome. and it became the computer of choice within Apple. it did not capture the market as they had hoped. At that point, they weren't sure exactly what to do with the Ll. They had purposely ignored and downplayed it for the four years since the IT Plus was released, although without its continued strong sales they would not have lasted asa company. Ina 1985 interview in Byte magazine, Steve Wozniak stated: "When we came out with the Apple UL. the engineering staff cancelled every Apple Il engineering program that was ongoing, in expectation of the Apple Ill's success. Every single one was cancelled. We really perceived that the Apple Il would not last six months. So the company was almost all Apple Ill people. and we worked for years after that to try and tell the world how good the Apple Il was, because we KNEW [how good it was] . . . If you looked at our advertising and R&D dollars. everything we did here was done first on the Ill. if it was business related. Then maybe we'd consider doing a sub-version on the fH. To make sure there was a good boundary between the two machines, anything done on the II had to be done at a lower level than onthe If. Only now are we discovering that good solutions can be implemented on the I]... We made sure the Apple Ii was not allowed to have a hard disk or more than 128K of memory. Ata time when outside companies had very usable schemes for adding up to a megabyte of memory, we came out with a method of adding 64K to an Apple Ie. which was more difficult to use and somewhat limited. We refused to acknowledge any of the good 80-column cards that were in the outside world: only ours, which had a lot of problems."<4> Wozniak went on in that interview to say that al one time he had written some fast disk routines for the Pascal system ‘on the Apple Il, and was criticized by the Apple Ill engineers, They didn't think that anything on the Apple II should be allowed to run faster than on a I]. That was the mindset of the entire company at the time. Apple has been much maligned for the attention they gave the Apple III project, while suspending all further development on the Apple I. They pegged their chances for the business market in 1980 on the Apple Ill. Even Steve Wozniak had stated in anotherinterview; "We'd have sold tons of [computers in the business market] if we'd have let the H evolve .. . to become a business machine called the I instead of developing a separate, incompatible computer. We could have added the accessories to make it do the business functions that the outside world is going to IBM for."<3> Part of the problem was the immaturity of the entire microcomputer industry at the time. There had NEVER been a microcomputer that had sold weil formore than a couple of years before it was replaced by a more powerful model. usually from another company. The Altair8800 and IMSAI had fallen to the more popular and easier to use Apple II and TRS-80 and Commodore PET, as well as other new machines based on the Intel 8080 and 8088 processors. It is entirely understandable that Apple's attitude between 1978. and 1980 would be of panic and fear that they wouldn't get a new computer out in time to keep their market share and survive as a company. However. during the entire time when Apple was working on the Ill as a computer to carry the company through unt Lisa would be ready, and during the entire time that the Apple II was ignored by its own company, it continued to quietly climb in sales. It is a credit to both the ingenuity of Wozniak in his original design. and to the users of the Apple Ul in THEIR ingenuity at finding new uses for the II, that its value increased and stimulated yet miore new sales. The Apple II "beat" the odds of survival _ that historically were against it The Apple He: Beginnings... When Apple saw that the sales on the Apple I were NOT going to dwindle away. they finally decided to take another Jook at it. ‘The first new look at advancing the design of the I was with a project called "Diana" in 1980. Diana was intended primarily to be an Apple II that had fewer intemal components, and would be less expensive to buikd. The project was later known as "LCA", which stood for "Low Cost Apple”. Inside Apple this meant a lower cost of manufacturing. but outsiders who got wind of the project thought it meant a $350 Apple Il. Because of that misconception. the final code name for the updated Apple Il was "Super II", and lasted until its release.<5> The Apple He: Hardware ... Part of the He project grew out of the earlier work on custom integrated circuits for the Apple II. When they finaig decided to go ahead and improve the design by adding nex features, one of the original plans was to give the Apple Ilan 80-column text display and a full upper and lowercase keyboard. Walt Broedner at Apple did much of the original hardware planning, and was one of those at Apple who pushed for the upgrade in the first place. To help maintain compatibility with older 40-column software (which offen addressed the screen directly for speed), he decided to make 80-columns work by mirroring the older 40 column text screen ontoa 1K memory space parallel to it, with the even columns in main memory and the odd columns in this new “auxiliary” memory. To display 80-column text would require switching between the twomemory banks. Broedner realized that with little extra effort he could do the same for the entire 64K memory space and get 128K of bank- switchablememory. ‘They put this extra memory (the IK "80-column card, ora 64K "extended 80-column card") in a special slot called the 7 August 1992 "auxiliary" slot that replaced slot 0 (the 16K Language Card was going to be a built-in feature). The 80-column firmware routines were mapped to slot 3, since that was a location commonly used by people who bought 80-column cards for their Apple II's, and was also the place where the Apple Pascal system expected to find an extemal terminal. The auxiliary slot also supplied some special video signals, and was used during manufacture for testing on the motherboard. ‘The engineers that worked on the Ile tied hard to make sure that cards designed for the I] and II Ptus would work property in the new computer. They even had to "tune" the timing on the Ile to be slightly OFF (to act more like the II Phus) because the Microsoft CP/M Softcard refused to function properly with the new hardware. A socket was included on the motherboard for attaching a numeric keypad, a feature that many business users had been adding (with diculty) to the Ul Plus for years. The full keyboard they igned was very similar to the one found on the Apple Ill, including two unique keys that had first appeared with the Il: ‘one with a picture of an hollow apple (“open-apple") and the other with the same apple picture filled in ("solid-apple" or “closed Apple" | now called the ‘Option key’ on most new Apples}). These keys were electrically connected to button and button | on the Apple paddles or joystick. They were available to software designers as modifier keys when pressed with another key; for exampk, open-apple-H could be programmed to call up a “help” screen. The newer electronics ofthe keyboard also made it easier to manufacture foreign language versions of the Apple Hle.<6> Overall, Broedner and Peter Quinn (the design manager for the le and later the IIc projects) and their team managed to decrease the number of components on the motherboard from over one hundred to thirty-one, while adding to the capabilities of the computer by the equivalent of another hundredcomponents. .e Apple fle: Firmware... Peter Quinn had to beg for someone to help write the new firmware revisions to the Monitor and Applesoft for the Apple Ile. He finally got Rich Auricchio, who had been a hacker on the Apple Il almost from the beginning. Quinn said ina laterinterview: “You cannot get someone to write firmware for this machine {Apple [le} unless he’s been around for three or four years. You have to know how to get through the mine field [of unofficial but commonly used entry points|. He [Rick] was extremely good. He added in all the 80-column and Fscape-key stuff.” Quinn also got Bryan Steams to work on the new Monitor.<6>,<7> Changes were made in the ROMs to support the new bank-switching modes made necessary by having two parallel 64K banks of RAM memory. To have enough firmware space for these extra features, the engineers increased the size of the available ROM by making IT bank- switched. This space was taken from a location that had previously not been duplicated before; the memory locations used by cards in the slots on the motherboard. Ordinarily. if you use the Monitor to look af the slot | memory locations from $C100 through $CIFF. you get either random numbers (ifthe slot is empty), orthe bytes that made up the controller program on that card. Any card could also have the space from $C800 through $CFFF available for extra ROM code if they needed it. Ifa card ina slot did a read or write to memory location SCFFF. the $C800-SCFFF ROM that belonged to that card would appear in that space in the Apple II memory. When another card was working, then ITS version of that space would appear. On the He, they made a special soft-switch that would switch OUT all the peripheral cards from the memory, and switch IN the new expanded ROM on the motherboard. The firmware in the new bank-switched ROM space was designed to avoid being needed by any card ina slot (to avoid conflicts), and much of it was dedic sted to making the 80-column display (mapped to slot 3) wort properly. Also added were enhancements to the ESC routines used todo screen editing. In addition to the original ESC A, B,C. and D, and the ESC I, J. K, and M added with the Apple I Plus, Auricchio added the ability to make the ESC cursor moves work with the left and right arrow keys, and the new up and down arrow keys. The new Ile ROM also included a self-test that was activated by pressing both apple keys, the control key,and RESET simultaneously.<S> The Apple ile: Success... ‘The new Apple lle tumed out to be quite profitable for Apple. Not only was it more functional than the I] Plus fora similar price. but the cost to the dealers selling it was about three times the cost of manufacture. They had gotten their “Low Cost Apple", and by May of 1983 the Apple Ile was selling sixty to seventy thousand units a month, over twice the average sales of the fl Plus. Christmas of 1983 saw the Te continue to sell extremely well, partly resulting from the delayed availability of the new IBM PCjr. Even after the Apple llc was released in 1984, lle sales continued beyond those of the lic. despite the Ic's built-in features.<8> The Apple Ie: Modifications... Early Apple lle motherboard's were labelled as “Revision A". Engineers determined soon after its introduction that if the same use of parallel memory was applied to the hi-res graphics display as was done with the text display, they could create higher density graphics. These graphics, which they called "double hi-res", also had the capability of displaying a wider range of colors, similar to those available with the original Apple II lo-res graphics. The Ile Apple-Bug 8 motherboards with the necessary modifications to display these double hi-res graphics were labelled "Revision B", and a softswitch was assigned to tuming on and off the new graphicsmode. Later versions of the Ue motherboards were again called “Revision A" (for some reason), although they HAD been modified for double hi-res graphics. The difference between the two “Revision A" boards was that the latter had most of the chips soldered to the motherboard. An original "Revision A" board that had been changed to an Enhanced Ie was not necessarily able to handle double hi-res, since the change to the Enhanced version involved only a four-chip change to the motherboard, but not the changes to make double hi-res possible.<O> The Apple Iie: The Enhanced Ie... This version of the Apple [le was introduced in March of 1985. It involved changes to make the Me more closely compatible with the Apple IIc and [I Plus. The upgrade consisted of four chips that were swapped in the motherboard: The 65002 processor, with more assembly language opcodes, replaced the 6502; two more chips with Applesoft and Monitor ROM changes; and the fourth a character generator ROM that included graphics characters (first introduced on the IIc) called "MouseText". ‘The Enhanced fle ROM changes fixed most of the known problems with the Ie 80-column firmware, and made it possible to enter Applesoft and Monitor commands in lower- case. The older 80-cohumn routines were slower than most software developers wanted, they disabled interrupts for too Jong a time, and there were problems in making Applesoft work property with the 80-column routines. These problems were solved with the newer ROMs. Monitor changes also included a return of the mini- assembler, absent since the days of Integer BASIC. It was activated by entering a"!” command in the Monitor, instead ofa jump to a memory location as in the older Apple |[. Also added were an "S" command was added to make it possible tosearch memory fora byte sequence, and the ability to enter ASCII characters directly into memory. However, the "L" new 65002 opcodes as did the IIc disassembler. Interrupt handling wasalsoimproved. Applesoft was fixed to let commands such as GET, HTAB, TAB, SPC, and comma tabbing work properly in 80-columnmode. ‘The new MouseText characters caused a problem for some. older programs at first because of changes to the character generator ROM, until the programs were upgraded; as characters previously displayed as inverse upper-case would sometimes display as MouseTextinstead.<10>,<1 I> The Appie Iie: The Platinum lie... ‘This version of the Ile, introduced in January 1987, had a keyboard that was the same as the IIGS keyboard, but the RESET key was moved above the ESC and "1" keys (as on the llc), and the power light was above the "/* on the included numeric keypad (the internal numeric keypad connector was left in place). ‘The CLEAR key on the keypad generated the same character as the ESC key, but with a hardware modification it could generate a Ctrl-X as it did on the IGS. The motherboard had 64K RAM in only twochips (instead of the previous eight). and one ROM chip instead of two. An "extended 80-column card" with 64K extramemory was included in all units sold, and was smaller than previous versions of that memory card. No ROM changes were made. The old shift-key modification was installed, making it possible for programs- to determine if the shifi-key was being pressed. However, using a game controller that actually used the third push- button (where the shift-key mod was internally connected), pressing shift and the third push-button simultaneously causesa short circuit that shuts down the power supply.<12> The Apple Ile: Mac LC - Emulation Card In early 1991, Apple introduced a new version of the Apple Ile. This one was designed to be exactly like the 128K Platinum Ie, with the modification that it had a color Macintosh aitached to it. This Apple tle cost only $US199, but the required Macintosh peripheral went for about $US2,495, which makes the combination the most expensive Apple | ever made. Apple engineers managed to put the function ofan entire He onto a card smaller than the old Disk fl controller card. With version 2.0 of the Apple II interface software, more of the memory allocated to the Macintosh can be used by the Ile (strange way of designing an Apple II!). However, unlike all previous versions of the He, there are no hardware-based slots on the Apple Ile card; instead. there are software-based slots that are allocated by moving icons that represent various peripherals into "slots" on the Mac screen. (Oh, yes; it runs some Mac software, too). To use 5.25 disks with this Apple He, there is a cable that attaches to the card. The cable splits into a game connector (for paddles or joystick operation) and a connector that accepts Hc and IIGS style 5.25 drives. The le card runs at a “normal” (1 MHz) speed and a "fast" (2 MHz) speed.<13> {t has limitations, however. For a 1991 Apple I, it is limited in being unable to be accelerated beyond 2 MHz (a Zip Chip can run a standard Ile at 8 MHz), and the screen response seems slow, since it is using a software-based Mac text display instead of the hardware-based Apple Il character ROM.

First up we have SOFTSOUND. 1.0, which is a sound player and editor for the Apple lle and Ic. Digitized sounds are very popular on //GS and Macintosh systems, but in the past they haven't been playable on 8-bit Apple Il systems (well. not very well anyway) without adding extra hardware. No longer. Here is a utility for not only playing, but also for modifying digitize sound samples. there are literally thousands of digitize sound samples available, especially in Apple-Q's //GS and Macintosh PD Libraries. There's even one sound file included with this package. Try this one out, just to show that there's still creative things to be done with the8-bit Apple Hl IIGIF is a graphics program by Jason Harper. GIF files are acomputer-independent format for graphic images. Well, to use such images you need a program to convert them to your machine. IIGIF fills that roll quite well indeed for most Apple li systems. It allows you to view Gif graphics in hires monochrome, hires colour. double hires monochrome, or double hires colour. It will also allow you to save the files in standard hires or double hires files, so you can use them with other programs if you wish. Included is Sunset.GIF. which can be viewed with this program on any Apple Il. Also included is IGIF.IC.PATCH. IIGIF will need to be patched if you intend to run it ona IIc. Mind you, once patched, it will no longer work on other Apple II's. On side two of this month's Apple|[ disk we have the latest version of A2 SNEEZE, version 2.2. Sneeze has been updated to fix a small bug or two, and to add a nifty "ew multiple file copy feature. Be sure to read the Intro ‘le. which has been revised to explain the changes and new features. Also on side two we have KICKSTART.2.2 which is a rather unique utility intended primarily for RAM disk users. Basically, it will copy the contents of one disk to another. ‘The nice thing is that it does this with almost alarming speed. like a very fast disk-to-disk (as opposed to file-by-file) copy. But the volumes do not have to be the same size; in fact, it's assumed that they'll be different sizes. It's pretty unique; most utilities, if they attempted a fast disk-style copy to a RAM disk ofa different size than the original, would either fail or leave you with some of your unused RAM disk space simply removed. KickStart doesn't do this at all. Lastly. there is a game that has been floating around in the public domain for many years. It is called Wormy.Run, or just Wormy, and there has been several variations over the years. It is a Binary file instead of the usual SYS file that most runable ProDOS programs use, but the launcher on this disk has no worries starting this game. You'll find that Wonny is excellent proof that some of the best games are 8- bit Apple Il "nothing fancy" affairs. Enjoy! fipple //GS Disk of the Month ... This months GS Disk of the Month is another incredible offering from FTA. Bouncing Femo is a Marble Madness ‘type’ of game for the Apple //GS. The version supplied on this months Disk of the Month comes complete with the source code and a level Editor. To run the game you either simply boot the disk or launch (double click) the P8 Loader file from your desktop (or launching program). Bouncing Femois also Hard Disk installable. Like all FTA products this one comes complete with great graphics, sound effects and music. The game has 3 levels of 25 screens already defined which can be played with either the mouse or joystick. You can create and edit your own game screens via the built in editor . .. what more could you ask for. ‘The idea of the game is simple (like most games of this gendre) and somewhat addictive as you try and ‘roll over’ various objects in order to'pick them up’ and thus advance to the next level. Also like most games of this type this is not ag simple as it sounds because in order to do so you must negotiate 3-D rampsetc toachieve your goal. The game is complete except for the scoring module a minor problem which InCider's latest contest should hopefully fix. InCider (A+) is holding a competition in which programers are invited to supply a scoring module for the game using the existing FTA source code for the game {provided on the disk} or creating your own from scratch. For more details see the August 1992 edition page 10- under FTAGame Contest. Non programmers have not been forgotten as InCider is also running a competition based on creating your own unique Bouncing Femo levels using the built in editor. Both competitions close December 30th 1992. So graba copy of this disk and start creating. . . you don't even have to be an InCider subscriberto enter the competition. ‘That's it for this month . .

For the Igs there exist a whole inventory to choose from when souping up your computer. But before we look at individual programs you will want to know a little bit about the various classifications and their placement. We will be ‘pxamining four classes of additions: Inits, Desk Accessories, ‘Control Panels and Finder Extras. All of these are placed inside various folders within the /System f older of your boot drive orstarting volume. DeskAccessories A Desk Accessory is a program you can run without leaving the Finder or the GSOS program your may be mmning. They may accomplish a number of tasks such as. editing documents, manipulating files or even playing games. ‘There are two types of Desk Accessories, the NDA or New Desk Accessory and the CDA or Classic Desk Accessory. To install a Desk Accessory you simply copy it into the /Desk.Accs folder located inside the /System folder of your boot drive. Then, the next time you tum your [gs on the NDA or CDA will be automatically installed. Toaccess a CDA you press the Command (Open Apple). Control and Escape buttons all at the same time. Then use the arrows to highlight the needed CDA and press retum. To Access an NDA simply move the cursor to the apple in the upper left hand comer, hold down the mouse button and drag the cursor until the NDA you wish to use is highlighted. Let goofthe mouse and the NDA opens-up. Control Panels Control Panels, formerly known as CDev's, are similar in nature to Desk Accessories but tend to regulate a distinct function in the computer's settings and performance. Control panel s are traditionally placed in the /CDev folder within the /System folder of your boot drive or starting volume. When in the (CDev fokder Control Panels are automatically installed at booting time. ‘To access a Control Panel just open the Control Panels NDA and the menu will appear, or by simply double clicking a Control Panel's icon you can open that Control Panel directly. Inits {nits do a number of tasks, usually having to do with system control. Simply place an Init in the /System.Setup {older within the /System folder of your boot drive or starting volume. Inits perform their functions in a number of different manners so you will need to read each Init's individual instructions to see how it works. FinderExtras Finder Extras can be seen as a sort of marriage between Desk Accessories and Inits. To install a Finder Extra you will need to create a /FinderExtras folder in the /System. folder. Copy the Finder Extra into the folder and when you boot your computer you will find a EXTRAS option on the menu bar. Click the EXTRAS on the menu and a window will open listing the installed Finder Extras. Some Finder Extras will work like NDAs, open the EXTRAS menu, highlight and let go. Other's require you to click a file's icon or perform some other task. This can become confusing so be sure to read each Finder Extra's documentation to find out how it works. Examples... Now that you know what Desk Accessories, Control Panels, Inits and Finder Extras are we can look at some of the great software which will make your Apple IIgs a better looking and better performing machine. Except for DeskColor, all of the following programs are performance programs. They either make the Finder more powerful or make your computer easier to use. DeskColor is like that racing stripe you always wanted to put on the side of your car. Its sole purpose is to make your computer look good.
