  Assembly
	1. HyperC(+), 
		ftp from calvin.sfasu.edu:/pub/apple2/hyperc*/*
		or cco.caltech.edu:/pub/apple2/8bit/hyperc

		HyperC has a rather complete assembler supporting
		include files, macros, library creation and post
		linking of files into the program.  Output is of course
		compatible with the HyperC C compiler.

	2. Lisa(+), ftp from cco.caltech.edu:/pub/apple2/8bit/lisa/*
		Author: Randall Hyde
		Originally sold by: Laser Systems and then HAL Labs.

		Last Contact info:

	7. Mini-assembler/disassembler
		Originally available as a part of Apple's Integer BASIC ROM
		package.  No labels - but was usable.

		On an ENHANCED ][e, IIgs and perhaps other models, enter the
		Monitor, and type a '!' to enter it (no $F666G call needed!). 
		On any 64k ][ under DOS 3.3, or any Apple ][ (NOT ][+/e/c/gs)
		with ProDOS or DOS 3.3, simply enter Integer 
		BASIC, then call the Monitor, then use the $F666G call.

------------------------------

  BASIC
	1. Applesoft (built-in to your computer!). 
		This version of BASIC was written by Microsoft.  The
		first version of this BASIC appeared in cassette form
		in 1977.  In 1978, numberous bugs were fixed and new
		commands added to Applesoft BASIC, resulting in version
		two of the software.  It appeared in cassette, floppy,
		firmware card, language card and mother board rom
		formats.

		Applesoft II was distributed on the motherboard of all 
		Apple IIs since the Apple II+ in 1979.  Additional bug fixes 
		and enhancements were made for the Applesoft II that
		appeared on the Apple IIe, IIe enhanced ROMs, IIc, and
		IIgs.

	    	This can be extended with several commercial and non-commercial
	    	applications.

            	To speed Applesoft up,
			Beagle Compiler, available through Quality Computers.
			This compiles the Applesoft interpreted file into
			a faster, though larger, file.

	    	To add commands to Applesoft
			Glen Bredon's ProCMD (required ProDOS 8).

			Kitchen Sink Software, Inc.'s MicroDot
				jbush@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu or
				gforsyth@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu

				Apple IIe (unenhanced or higher), 64k.
				Subsequent Apple II models.
				ProDOS 8.

			Canam Software's AmperPlus(+)
				Available on Compuserve's Apple Programmer
				library.  Uploaded by 76475.204@compuserve.com
				Source code is in Merlin assembler format.
				I cannot tell whether program is truely
				freely distributable or not.

			Doublestuff! Plus.  Contains a language-card 
				version of Applesoft, modified to
				provide commands for using the
				double-hi-res Apple ][e screen. 
				Modifications include drivers to get drawings to
				look right, and upgrades in syntax to 
				allow commands like
				"HCOLOR=15:HPLOT 0,0 TO 559,192".

	2. Micol BASIC

		Micol Advanced BASIC Apple IIe/c version 4.5 $59.95

		Micol Systems
		9 Lynch Road
		Willowdale, Ontario
		Canada M2J2V6
		(416) 495 6864

		Still actively supporting the Apple II product.  A new upgrade
		is now available and at least one more upgrade is being
		developed.  Features a 200 page 8.5 x 11 inch manual.

------------------------------

  C
	1. HyperC(+)
		ftp from calvin.sfasu.edu:/pub/apple2/hyperc*/*
		or cco.caltech.edu:/pub/apple2/8bit/hyperc

		K+R C - Any II with an 80-column card.  
			(out-of-the box only generates native code for
			a 6502.  65c02 translation available, this and other
			support is all user-contributed.)
		Requires Prodos 8.  any version.

		Producer was WSM Group, Tucson, Arizona, which now
		appears to be defunct.  Copyright status == shareware,
		but it's state is somewhat questionable as there is no
		known address where one can send shareware fees.

		Heavy Usenet support -- hyperc-l@calvin.sfasu.edu for
		questions and discussion.  To join, send email to
		hyperc-request@calvin.sfasu.edu.

		Articles also appear in comp.sys.apple2 (and
		comp.sys.apple2.programmers now)occasionally.  Source
		code and binaries appear in
		comp.{source,binaries}.apples occasionally as well.

		The Hyper C manual itself is pretty good, and a fair amount of
		user-contributed improvements are available.

		Contains some bitset and other Pascal-ism extentions.

		Work currently being done to support 65c02, 65802, and 65816 
		transparently.

		A portion of the product is an interpreter which works in
		native mode.  All file and device I/O works in an emulation
		mode for compatibility.

		Some of the products being developed are an 8 bit QWK
		reader, a standard library, and an alternate OPIX
		operating environment.  A high resolution graphics
		library is currently available - a double high
		resolution graphics library may be available in the
		near future.

		Source code for the shell, libraries, etc. are available.
		An assembler (see above) is also included.

		This product does not support floating point numbers in
		the standard C tradition, but does have a pre-processor
		and libc replacement to aid in performing floating point
		operations.

		An optimizer is supported by 
		Anthony J. Stuckey <stuckey@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu>

		Code to create ProDOS SYS files was written by 
		Gary Desrochers and Andy Werner.

		I would recommend checking with these folk to see if any
	of the commercial products mentioned in this guide are available.
	Quality Computers, Resource Central, and The Big Red Apple
	Club are probably the three primary sources of commercial software
	for Apple II owners.

	Big Red Computer Club
	423 Norfolk Avenue
	Norfolk, NE 68701-5234
	(402) 379-4680

	Membership is $19.95/year U.S., Canada, or Mexico. Other countries are
	$35.95/year to allow for airmail postage.

	Visa/Mastercard accepted.

	You save the membership real quick since most wares are $5 cheaper for
	members.

	They have a ton of public domain stuff in addition to the "classics"
	you asked about.

  Misc
	1. CEEMAC(+) 
		Author: Brooke W Boering
		Date: Jan 1982
		Company: Vagabondo Enterprises
			 1300 E Algonquin -3G
			 Schaumburg, IL

		and later in 1986 or 1987,

			135 Stephen Rd
			Aptos, CA 95003

		Software put into the public domain 3/18/87.

		A DOS 3.3 graphics language which is a part of a
		graphics/sound program.  It was an early Electronic Arts
		program according to one correspondent (Richard McCusker).
		Later correspondents correctly pointed me to Brooke Boering
		and Vagabondo Enterprises.

		The basic concept in CEEMAC was the programmer wrote scores of
		graphics and sounds which were then performed.

		The language used tables of values (sin, cos, tan) to create
		cureves, and it also allowed the programmer to use shapes.
		There were macros that produced dots, boxes, color, sound,
		and more.  It allowed you to anchor a curve at one end
		and move the other end around.  It also allowed you to set
		the symmetry of the 'score'.

		Here is a sample score:

		SCORE: KT
      			:FIRE ORGAN  KEY T
      			SPEED [0,0]
      			: - BUT 0
      			0
      			CLEAR [0,0]
      			XY1 = $80;$80
     			: MAIN LOOP
      			F
     			:FORGND SYMMETRY 0-3
      			VC = RND3 ORA 3
      			: SAVE FORGND ROTATION
      			VD = ROTEZ
      			:FORGND COLOR
      			COLOR = NXTCOL


		I believe this is on some of the Internet archives.
		There are several related disks here.

		1. An application written in CeeMac by the author called 
			Fire Organ.  
		2. the CeeMac disk itself.

		3. Maestro

		4. A 'third party' disk of CeeMac programs called 
			Sparkee.  

		There was also a CEEMAC newsletter. 

		Any more info that you might have would be appreciated.

Other hardware development environments
	The cards I had in mind listing here would be those for which
	some advantageous programming environment was provided or
	anticipated.  Thus, I didn't plan on listing all of the serial
	I/O cards, etc.  If you feel programmers would benefit from
	some hardware card being listed, be sure to send me some
	detailed information here.  You can see that this is just
	a new idea here and I need help fleshing it out.

------------------------------

  65802
	Available for older Apples and Apple clones which
		were still stuck with the 6502.  Software such as
		Merlin assembler provide some amount of support for
		the 802 and 816 chips.

  6809
	1. Stellation Two
		OS/9 Level 1 was one of the operating systems available.

  68000
	1. Stellation Two
		I don't remember if OS/9 or some other operating system
		was available for this one.

  8088
	Ability to run MS-DOS gives programmers access to another base
	of development and application software.

	1. Applied Engineering 8088 Card
		Information needed on availability.

  Z-80
	Ability to run CP/M gives programmers access to another base
	of development and application software.  Once one gets one of
	these, then many CP/M programs are possible.  One problem is
	getting the software in a format which is READABLE by the
	CP/M card though!  Some companies carried the 5.25" Apple
	sector format though.

	1. MicroSoft Softcard CP/M Card
		Information needed on availability.

		Note that FORTRAN, COBOL and BASIC were available from
		Microsoft in Apple 5.25" disk formats.

	2. Applied Engineering Z-80 Card
		Information needed on availability.

		Note that Applied Engineering's CP/M package, called I
		believe CP/AM, supposedly ran on any MicroSoft SoftCare
		work-alike (like AE's Z80+ or Z80c, and the Z-RAM Ultra 3).

	3. Clone cards
		Information needed on availability.

  Misc
	1. Faster Floating Point Cards
		There were several - someone want to send me details?
		No unique programming environments but can make SANE
		processing bearable in some cases.

		Applesoft and many IIgs applications.

		Package is available from Resource Central.

		B. Applied Engineering
		FastMath card
		Information needed.

	2. CPU acceleration
		These are primarily faster 65816 or other similar
		chips.  A programmer's programming environment is
		not extended, but made bearable.

		Applied Engineering series of cards

		Zip series of cards

		Others?

	3. Graphics display cards
		Would provide programmer with unique visual capabilities.
		Has there been even one actually shipped?

	4. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) cards
		Has there been even one actually shipped?

		AIIdsp - being developed by Ken Poppleton.  Operates on a
		Apple IIs with expansion slots, using the DSP 56001.  
		No meaningful programs using it yet.

		GS/DSP - was being developed by Pete Snowberg.  He was using
		a 34010.

	5. Virtual Memory Management card
		This one was advertised in CALL-A.P.P.L.E for several
		months, but I don't know if it ever shipped.  I don't
		have the details handy at this time.  Can someone help
		me out here?

		I know that it provided an enhanced BASIC which had
		extended arrays, etc.

	6. Sound cards
		Would provide programmer with unique audio capabilities.
		Some programming packages may take advantage of having one
		of these boards available.

		Mockingboard, Phasor, MDIdeas Stereo digitization and
		synthesis, Sonic Blaser, Audio Animator

		MIDI

		Sound synthesis

		Voice synthesis

	7. BSR X-10 controller card
		Would provide programmer control over household management
		of devices.

	   Company phone number: (503) 779-2465
	   Author name: Copyright 1980, P. Lutus

	   best quote:

	   This is the System ][ manual.  It won't teach you how to write
	   Assembly Language programs (because it is finite in length).

	2. ASM/65

		various packages.

	6. Microproducts Assembler
		$39.95 back when it was being sold in the late 1970s.

	7. Randy's Weekend Assembler, 1978

		the Integer BASIC ROM).

	8. SC Assembler II 
		8 bit assembler whose support has ceased due to the closing
		on the company. (In addition, he published a monthly newsletter,
		Apple Assembly Line, whch was published from 10/80 through 
		5/88.)

		Last known address:
		Author:		Bob Sander-Cedarlof
		Address:	P.O. Box 280300
				Dallas, Texas 75228
		
		Bob went to work for AE as a software engineer and
		might still be available at the address/telephone
		number given above. It would be worthwhile for anyone
		interested in 6502 assembley language to buy the back
		issues to Apple Assembly Line.

		In addition to an assembler for the 6502 he offered
		cross assemblers for:

		Motorola  6800, 1, 2, 8/6301, 6805 6809, 68HC11, 68000

		Most cross assemblers were available in both DOS 3.3
		and ProDOS format.

	 9. TED/ASM, 1978
		by Gary Shannon (and editor by Randy Wigginton)

	10. UCSD Pascal Assembler
		Part of the Apple Pascal package.  Was one of the
		early assemblers with macros, conditional assemblies
		and able to generate relocatable code.

------------------------------

  BASIC
	1. Applesoft toolkits
			Apple's Applesoft Programmer's Assistant.
				Product from Apple.  Came with an assembler
				called EDASM.  Came with a series of ampersand
				commands, but a high resolution character
				generator that let you design your own
				fonts and display them on the high resolution	
				graphics screen using traditional PRINT
				statements.

			Apple Programmer's Toolkit, which occupied the ROM
				space left unused by Integer BASIC.
				Originally distributed as firmware as well
				well as Apple DOS 3.3 boot disks.

			Product name: SuperGraphics
			3-D Display System & Game Tool (by Bill Budge)
			Language: called via PRINT "%..." from Applesoft 
				or Integer BASIC
			Hardware requirements: `Required are an Apple II 
			with 48K of RAM and a minimum of 1 disk drive.'
			Operating system requirements: DOS 3.3 

			Author name: P. Lutus
			Author address: Kerby, Oregon

		Operating system requirements:
 
		Company name: Microsoft, Inc.

		It can makes use of auxiliar memory on 128K Apples

		Was available in 1985.

	3. Blankenship BASIC
		Information needed.

	4. Integer BASIC
		This BASIC was in the ROMs of the Apple II'
		first sold by Apple.  When the Apple II+'s with
		Applesoft in the on-board ROMs started selling,
		Apple also sold a Firmware card which had Integer
		BASIC in ROM on them.

		Steve Jensen sent email claiming that Integer BASIC can
		be found in a file found on any Apple DOS 3.3 system disk.
		Steve says that it autoloads when you boot the DOS 3.3 disk.
		Certainly it can be autoloaded by executing an Integer BASIC 
		program from that disk.

		There were many articles and books on Integer BASIC
		published back in the 'olden days'.  One of the best
		sources of information was the Call-A.P.P.L.E.
		magazine, which published a lot of information on the
		language.

		A.P.P.L.E. sold a relocatable RAM version of Integer BASIC
		as Interger BASIC+.

		Doesn't seem to be GS-compatible, one at least one GS, it
		boots part-way, then freezes just before it prints the
		startup banner.  Works fine on an Apple IIe though.

		There appears to have been a second disk available at an
		extra cost containing floating-point arithmetic and
		hi-res graphics commands.


	5. MicroMotion MasterFORTH
		Product name: MicroMotion MasterFORTH
		Language: FORTH (FORTH-83, with extensions)

		MasterFORTH also had additional disks containing
		floating-point and hi-res commands, which appear to 
		have been sold separately.

		Both of these are fairly old packages...FORTH-79 is 
		copyright 1980, and MasterFORTH is copyright 1984.

		As far as I can determine, the Apple II version
	is no longer an active product.  Also note that the IIgs was
	never completely supported.  This was a C-like language which
	was interpreted, came with a shell, and was source compatible
	for the most part between various architectures.

AMACS	- formerly commercal, shareware and now supposedly freeware
	implementation of EMACS.  More information, location, etc. needed.
	Written by a Brian Fox <brianf@verdix.com> (or is it 
	bfox@prep.ai.mit.edu?)

ANIX	- a shell that appeared with the Lisa assembler.  I don't have any
	details on whether there was a shell language.  At one time, the
	authors were available on GEnie as HAL.LABS.  See the entry on
	Lisa for U.S. Postal Service address.

APEX	- an operating system for the Apple IIs with installable device
	drivers.  Included an assembler, editor, and XPL, a high level
	programming language.  Was developed on the 6502 prior to the Apple II 
	and was ported to it when the Apple first appeared.  Developed
	at the Colarado School of Mines by Peter Boyles.  At least available
	at versions 1.8.

BASIC	Beagle Basic - this was different from the Beagle Bros. Compiler.
	This package put Applesoft into RAM so that you could customize
	it.  You could rewrite error messages, rename Applesoft commands,
	etc.  Support was present for new Applesoft commands such
	as ELSE, HSCRN , SWAP, TONE, and enhanced features to things like
	GOTO and GOSUB.  Is it still available in some form?

Byteworks languages and tools
	ORCA/Debugger - I need more info on this item.
		Text based source level debugger.  Works with any language
		that supports the ORCA-style intrusive COP debugging
		method. 

	ORCA/Disassembler - I need more info on this item.
		Assembler which works on plain binary or OMF files. Can
		disassemble ROMs.

	ORCA/BASIC - Some discussion of this occured on AOL several
	years ago, but I do not know if work ever began.

	ORCA/f2c - Some discussion of a Fortran 77 to C conversion tool
	becoming available has occurred.

	ORCA/Logo - In development for Byteworks in conjuction with
	Roger Wagner's effort to use Logo in HyperStudio for Macs.

	ORCA/Modula-2 - In development for ByteWorks.

Communications related packages
	ACOS - ProDOS 8 BBS Language

	LLUCE - ProDOS 8 BBS Language

	MACOS - a hacked version of ACOS.

Design Master - I need some info on this item.
	A prototyping tool.  This tool allows you to create Apple IIgs
	GS/OS 5.x/6.x resources interactively.  It does not allow one
	to modify existing resources.

FORTH	- C. K. Haun supposedly has written a shareware version of FORTH
	for the Apple IIgs.  Someone reports that this is available on
	GEnie.

	Illsys Systems is said to be selling a commercial version of FORTH
	for the IIe and IIgs systems.  Ads were seen in Nibble.

	An implementation of Fig-Forth was available at one time - can
	anyone provide me with details?  I believe this was freeware.

	FORTH 79 - Information needed on an Apple II package by this name.
	I know there were several other packages which implemented FORTH
	79 - but I understand there was a package specifically called
	FORTH 79.

	MVP-FORTH - can someone provide me more info on this?

	TransFORTH - wasn't this one sold by ALS?

Foundation - I need some more info on this resource editor.
	Allows one to edit a few native resources.

GNO     - lots of languages being ported here, such as bison, flex, csh, ksh,
	gsscheme, xlisp, and perhaps even a c and c++ compiler.  No
	formal list has been submitted to me yet.  I did find bison on
	pindarus.cs.uiuc.edu.

KSH	- A Graphical Korn shell which will run on the GS is being developed.
	More details once the product is available.

LISP	- there was at least one micro LISP available written in Integer
	BASIC back in the old days, as well as at least one commercial product.
	There was also some product called AppLisp which had the Winston and
	Horn LISP textbook included.

MSHELL	- some sort of shell.  I don't know how programmable it was, who
	wrote it, whether it is/was available commercially, etc.

MULISP/MUSTAR - MuLisp was a Z-80 based P-Code lisp compiler.  MuStar was
	an Artificial Intelligence Development System, including editor
	and debugger.  Written by Microsoft.

Nevada software - there were several packages by Ellis Computing, Inc. which
	required the Z-80 card to use.  These were called Nevada PILOT,
	Nevada Assembler and Nevada FORTRAN.  Basically, they were standard
	CP/M products, but in a 5.25" Apple disk format.

NPL	- NonProcedural Language.  1980.  A relational database language.  "An
	Introduction to Nonprocedural Languages Using NPL", T.D. Truitt et al,
	McGraw-Hill 1983.  Versions for Apple II, MS-DOS.

OS/A+	- Micom OS/A+ system, came with a very nice BASIC (very similar to
	Atari BASIC in the graphics area).  The OS had Applesoft compatibility.

Pascal	- There is a rumor of a ProDOS based Apple Pascal - anyone
	know any details?

PILE	- Polytechnic's Instructional Language for Educators.  Similar in use to
	an enhanced PILOT, but structurally more like Pascal with
	Awk-like associative arrays (optionally stored on disk).
	Distributed to about 50 sites by Initial Teaching Alphabet
	Foundation for Apple II and CP/M.  "A Universal Computer Aided
	Instruction System," Henry G. Dietz & Ronald J Juels, Proc Natl
	Educ Computing Conf '83, pp.279-282.

PILOT	- a text based version written in Applesoft is mentioned in the
	Apple History files.

SC Macro Assembler IV - a DOS 3.3 macro assembler.

SuperGraphics - SuperGraphics 3D Display System and Game Tool
	Some sort of PRINT "%" interface.  More information needed.

Tutor-Tech - a commercial hypertext development system which runs on 8 bit
	Apple IIs.
