        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.

        prosel
                ProSEL 8 by Glen Bredon. ProSEL is the Swiss Army Knife
                of Apple II utility programs. Its main screen is a
                customizable program launcher, but it has many other
                disk and file based utilities including disk recovery,
                backup, file copiers, block editors, and many others.
                This is the 8 bit version. For the 16 bit version, see
                ../../../gs.specific/utils/launchers.

                SYSTEM.II is an 8-bit desktop-style system manager for
                the //c, //e or the GS in 8-bit mode. Files and drives

                including: copy file, copy disk, rename, unlock, delete,
                format, restart, and shutdown. The program includes a
                built-in screen saver. The user can set parameters such
                as full or abbreviated menus, setting the system clock
                speed for accelerated machines, and have the choice of
                the keyboard, joystick or mouse as the input device.
                Other options include the choice of what slot to boot
                from, security settings, access to the GS Control Panel,
                as well as setting what files to automatically run at
                startup as well as shutdown. This archive can be copied

                any ProDOS compatible hard drive. Originally published
                by Kitchen Sink Software, System II has been released as
                Freeware by the Copyright holder, Eric Bush, via The
                Lost Classics Project. (Please see the FREEWARE.TXT file

        kickstart.shk
                This program allows you to transfer any ProDOS disk to
                any other ProDOS device of equal or greater size.

                This program allows you to transfer any ProDOS disk to
                any other ProDOS device of equal or greater size. The
                instructions explain, for example, how to copy GS/OS to
                /RAM5 on the IIgs. Written by Erick Bush of Kitchen Sink
                Software. Kick.system also contains a program launcher.
                See the launch.system program for more details about
                these programs. Instructions for use are built into each
                utility. ProDOS is NOT included on this disk.
                Origninally released as shareware, this disk has been
                reclassified as freeware by Kitchen Sink Software.
                Please see the READ.ME file included in the archive.

        ezupdater.bxy
                A Y2K update utility for EasyDrive

                EasyDrive, a freeware release from QLabs, is a disk
                management suite for hard drives and other large media.
                As distributed, the date code in the top bar is
                hard-coded to display "19" for the century digits. Mark
                Percival has written an easy-to-use BASIC program that
                will change these digits from "19" to "20" for proper
                date display. Place the BASIC file EZUPDATER in the same
                subdirectory as the EASYDRIVE bin program and then run
                the BASIC file. (You may want to save the original file
                as ORIG.EASYDRIVE just in case.) From that point on, the
                date bar at the top of the menu will display the proper
                date. Note that this patch is only good for this
                century, so if you're going to be using your Apple II
                and EasyDrive 95 years from now, a new patch program
                will be necessary. Please note that the EasyDrive
                software must be distributed in it's original form, and
                the date code must be altered by the end-user. This is
                in keeping with the freeware agreement under which QLabs
                released this software. 03 January 2005
