Whoops!  Rick, you said that 'apple has gotten out of the language business';
is this a new move?  As far as I have heard, Apple is still 'in' the business
of system support; that is why applesoft is in the rom, Apple Pascal is still
sold, etc.  Granted that Apple has farmed out the GS assembler, GS Pascal and
GS C - I was under the impression that this was due to lack of time.  Since
GS Basic IS an Apple 'product' (APDA sells it for apple, not for someone else),
surely they COULD put it on one of those nifty new 1.6 meg 3.5" disks as a par
of the GS system disk...
