This is version 4.1C of DiversiDOS as re-constructed from the files stored on
apple2.archive.umich.edu. I am providing this version as a shrunk 140K disk
for easier unpacking. No need to mess around with converting the files from
ProDOS to DOS 3.3 format. I have also renamed those files whose names had been
modified for ProDOS compatibility back to the names given in the instructions
to avoid confusion.
This disk is shareware still. Bill Basham asks $30 payment for the
software as he did originally. You can reach him via e-mail at dsr@wizard.net
or visit his WWW page at http://www.wizard.net/~dsr. He still has some other
Apple II software and pricing listed there.
The address and phone number on the DiversiDOS disk are no longer correct.
Here is the correct information.
Diversified Software Research

Here are some additional notes. There may be a file or 2 that is
unneeded. The instructions do not explain the purpose of all the files nor do
they mention the garbage-collection and RAM disk options. However, selecting
these options gives a fairly good explanation of them. Before deleting any
files, be sure to make a backup of this disk!
If you want an 80-colum print-out or textfile of the documentation, run
the program called instructions and follow its prompts. Dogfight is an old
game that is included (according to the instructions) with both DiversiDOS and
DiversiCopy. It can accomodate up to 8 players and (as its name implies) lets
you fly planes around and shoot each other or computerized planes down.
Complete instructions are included. There doesn't appear to be any way to exit
once you've started the game except by rebooting so save your work before you
play! That's about all I can think of.
If you wish to reach me, I can be contacted via e-mail to
adam.myrow@asu.edu. I hope this software will be useful to somebody.
