        geos
                GEOS deskTop is a desktop-style graphical operating
                system for 8-bit Apples. GEOS uses the DHR graphics
                screen for its display. Included are GEOWrite, GEOPaint,
                GEOSpell, GEODictionary, and several desk accesories
                that run under GEOS. There are also demos of GEOCalc,
                GEOFile, and GEOPublish. GEOS can be installed on a hard
                drive or other large capacity drive using the included
                utility. Originally from Berkely Softworks, the current
                copyright holder, Breadbox Computer Co., has
                reclassified the Apple version of GEOS as freeware.

        pctSavior12.shk
                RAMAEPC Savior works with any Apple II with a PC
                Transporter installed. It warns you when you're
                switching to MS-DOS if you have files on your RAMAEPC
                RAM disk, so you can stop and back them up before
                they're erased.

        pdosclockup.shk
                This is a freeware program from Apple Corp that updates
                the year table for ProDOS v1.9 and v2.x. This is
                important if you're using a clock that reads the year
                information only from the year table.

                least 16K. It tells you in detail the configuration of
                your Apple (CPU, memory, and slots).

        qram.iie.shk
                QLabs' QRam IIe. A ramdrive program for //e
                bank-switched memory cards. Due to the size limitations
                of the memory card with which this software was bundled,
                it will only create a 1-meg ramdisk.

        zippy11.shk
                P8 ZipGS control program.

                The ZipGS was a popular accelerator card for the Apple
                IIgs. With an 8MHz card, you could get an overall
                improvement of about 2x. If you wanted to deactivate the
                acceleration or twiddle features like the joystick
                delay, you had to be boot into GS/OS to run their
                application. I didn't like that much, so I threw this
                together. One of the cool things about it is the user
                interface, which changes the text and background color
                registers when the scan line reaches certain points.
                This gives you more than one text color on the text
                screen simultaneously. It flashes badly if you have
                quarter-second AppleTalk interrupts enabled, but then
                nothing's perfect. :-) Source code is included. This
                program is in the public domain. Written December 1991

        messyDOS.shk
                MeSsyDOS Converter 1.1 adds some MS-DOS commands to
                ProDOS.

                MeSsyDOS Converter v1.1 adds the following MS-DOS
                commands to ProDOS: CD, DIR, CLS, HELP, and ONLINE. It
                requires an enhanced //e or greater Apple II.

        smartWatch.shk
                Files for use with the Dallas Semiconductor DS1216E
                chip, AKA the 'No-Slot-Clock'.

                Included in this archive are a number of executable and
                source code files to use the Dallas Semiconductor
                'DS1216E' as a ProDOS8 clock. This part is commonly
                called the 'No-Slot-Clock' due to advertising by SMT
                Inc.

        vblClock.shk
                VBLClock is a software ProDOS clock that uses the
                vertical blanking interrupts to keep time.

                VBLClock runs on Apple IIc's and will possibly run on a
                IIe with a mouse card in slot 4. This archive also
                includes Set.Time, Which allows you to set the time and
                date using the arrow keys and remembers the last time
                you set.

        prodos.cmds.exe
                This is a set of extra ProDOS commands that can be
                installed within BASIC.SYSTEM to do things like TYPE
                files, COPY files from one /path/ to another,
                concatenate files, remove linefeed characters from files
                and more.

                The program is provided as a BNY (Binary 2 aka a "bunny
                file") in EXECUTIONER 4-byte format following the
                documentation in this file. Load this file into a text
                editor and remove everyting from the beginning of he
                file to (and including) the ---Cut Here---- line. Save
                everything after the ---Cut Here--- line as a text file
                and 'EXEC' it from the ProDOS command prompt. The Binary
                II archive will be saved as CMDS.BNY.
