Waffle started out as an Apple ][ BBS, if you want to know the truth. Tom still has a copy of the old Apple version, but it is not where he can get to it quickly or easily (200 mile drive one way...). The best address to get him at for Waffle related material is dell@vox.darkside.com as he gets to that more often than the other (or at least answers stuff faster from that address). He really has no interest in getting the Apple version current. There is no decent C copiler for the Apple ][ line, so it would have to be a separate product. It is mostly in assembly, with a little BASIC thrown in and not something most people could deal with making changes in. BTW, Matt.
