AZTECPLUS.SHK on Microdrive
Bill Buckels
(from asimov) on my Microdrive.
It was a piece of cake using Ciderpress. I just loaded the SHK in one copy
of Ciderpress and selected all the files in the archive and copied it to the
clipboard then opened the CF in another copy of Ciderpress and did a special
paste with pathnames intact onto an empty 32 MB volume and then renamed the
volume "AZTEC". Then I took the CF out of my USB reader and stuck it into my
Apple //e, booted the new volume, and in a second I was in the shell ready
to work. That's it!
The Shell sure does run nicely at 8 MHZ. Phoenyx you have every right to be
jealous:)
I started reviewing Phoenyx's atree project. What a nice utility! Actually
all this is really nice, but atree really should be finished-off.
Out of pure curiosity, did anyone else ever give all this a go?

Well I do have an accelerated GS or the //c+ so I can get by. I also
have an early 3 mhz card for the 2e but it rarely gets used.

My original idea was based on the PC programs XTree and Xtree Gold which
I used extensively in my BBS era. Later on I got used to the commander
style using Linux with Midnight Commander and wanted to go in that
direction instead. Cobbled up an Atree program in ZBasic which turned
out ok. Health situations kept getting in the way and never quite got
back to the original idea with Aztec C.

I also appreciate the scanned Aztec C magazine ad that you forwarded me, and
I have changed the logo on the Aztec C website using a clip from the ad.
Thanks for that as well Mike T. Take a look. I will put the ad-up as I
continue to expand the site.
If you (or anyone else) have more Manx Aztec C ads from the old days that
you can scan and forward please send them on.

I'm going through the Nibble magazine scan dvd for decent color ads.
I've got one that's ok. IIRC they quit advertising in there in 85 or 86
though.
