About; BLACKTOP.SHK and SONG.SHK Happy Birthday Apple IIgs! To celebrate the Apple IIgs' eleventh birthday, I have decided to release a couple things I wrote years ago when I was just learning how to program the IIgs. The first of these programs, Song, is a little ProDOS 16 diddy which uses the Note Synthesizer to play, "Happy Birthday." Very appropriate. The second program I have decided to release is, Blacktop. Blacktop is an INIT which will make the IIgs desktop black. Blacktop is small, simple, yet effective. I wrote Blacktop for a friend who wanted an easy-to-see IIgs desktop, and the best color for this is black. The original name for Blacktop was Blackout--not the virus, I assure you. Actually, due to a little bug, and the name, Blackout never made it to the public. Now that its debugged, and renamed, I hope you all enjoy it. The best part is if you're a programmer, you'll find I have included the Merlin 16+ source code for both programs. Have fun! -- Tony Morales http://www.concentric.net/~hexman |-|exman Email: hexman@concentric.net "Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you."
