I downloaded all 8 parts, combined with Binscii and unpacked with ShrinkIt 0.95
on an Apple IIc Plus with an external 3.5" and external 5.25" drive.  The disk
in the 5.25 booted fine.  The program has it's own shell that prints a
shareware message and executes the file 'autoexec' which initially just prints
comments.  The disk operates on what is called CDOS.  My guess is it's some
kind of modified DOS3.3 because I could read some of the sectors with a sector
editor.  I had to look at the sectors to figure out some of the rudimentary
shell commands like 'ls' and 'list'.   I don't have a second 5.25" drive and
can't get the shell to format  s6,d1 or any other slot.  There are no free
blocks on the unpacked disk, but some features like the editor seem to work.
The source code for dump.c seems to compile, but can't actually save to a full
disk.

I'd like to know if anybody else got Hyper C to work, and if the address
in the shareware title screen is still current.  Does anybody have the manual ?
