Brierley > davidbrierley@lynx.northeastern.edu Pronto-DOS is no longer for sale by Beagle Bros. It is now *FREE* along with a lot of their older software (Alpha Plot, DOS Boss, Double Take, Fat Cat, and many more...) All you have to do is call the Pro-Beagle line and download them. The number is (619) 558-6151. The real question that we should get answered is can we download them and then upload them to Comp.binaries.apple2 or other electronic services? From the information given in the Beagle Bros Fall/Winter 1989 catalog it sounds like we can. I quote: "Like we said, these programs are free. You are welcome to use them as much as you want -- even share them with your friends. But please don't give away any programs other than those listed here." Alpha Plot, Beagle Bag, Beagle Basic, DOS Boss, Big U, D Code, Double Take, Extra K, Fat Cat, Flex Type, Font Mechanic, Frame-Up, Pro-Byter, Pronto DOS, Shape Mechanic, Silicon Salad, Tip Disk #1, and Utility City. So it seems to me that some of us in the (619) area code region should get busy and start uploading these to Comp.binaries.Apple2 Any comments?
