I would like to see the source, if it is available. But if it is not too
large, then the binary is fine.

A third year project involved writing a multitasking pseudo-machine. I got it
working on my //c, but had to use co-operative multitasking (couldn't figure
out the VBL interupt in time to complete the project as pre-emptive). Worked
well enough to pass the project.

Certainly multiprogramming on an Apple II is no more difficult than on any
other system, but it certainly isn't any easier.
