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

copyright holder, Breadbox Computer Co., has
reclassified the Apple version of GEOS as freeware.

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
