you're just running a ProDOS-8 program...

Bizarre...CHIRP was only written about three months ago...this could only

ENQUIRER!!!  :-) :-) :-)

Seriously...CHIRP is available from the BROWNVM archives as file
APPLE2-L 90-01605.  It's also available from the author (that's me) by
sending E-mail to parker@corona.uoregon.edu or parkern@jacobs.cs.orst.edu.
