Dos 3.3 or Prodos must be licensed from Apple.  The charge is $50 per
year per product.  Call Apple and they will send you the forms.  They
usually send forms to become a certified developer too.  This is free
and they send good info and offer cut rate hardware for development
purposes.  They also have a registered developer program for the 
heavyweights that costs $$$.
   When you call ask for developer support.
