Sorry, but I really have to disagree. The more I learn about PRODOS the more I
am impressed. This is not to confuse PRODOS with BASIC.SYSTEM. They are two
different things. Programs like DAVEX are incredibly nice but could not be
done without PRODOS (am I right Dave?). If APPLE would include the book
BASIC PROGRAMMING WITH PRODOS with each computer, or better yet, a smaller
version containing the first four chapters of the book, their would be a lot le
ss trouble in making the transaction. Oh, and of course a new quit code. The
only good thing about the old quit code is that it was not only written poorly
but inefficiently giving us $300 bytes to modify.
