[Blindapple] aTalk disks for 1986

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

Thanks for these disks. Please consider this my virtual mailer 
containing all these disks returned to you so I can receive the next 
year's issues, my subscription fee for 1987, and a Braille or cassette 
note telling you there are some things I want to talk about.

I was very happy to find the beginnings of an assembly language 
tutorial. While I know some assembly language, I'm always looking for 
ways to learn more. I already have the SC Macro Assembler, which has 
been made freeware by SC. I've made a disk image of SC Macro Assembler 
for DOS 3.3 which comes up talking, if anyone wants it. I also have many 
issues of Apple Assembly Line as text files, as well as disk images of 
the examples and whatnot.

I also have ProntoDOS, which has also been made freeware by the authors. 
Yes, it definitely speeds up disk access. I assume the reason you didn't 
use it for Apple Talk was that you didn't want to license it having 
already licensed DOS 3.3 from Apple? Also, some programs/tricks might 
not be compatible with ProntoDOS, although most do work.

I know I'm probably forgetting something, and it'll come to me right 
after the virtual mailman picks up the virtual envelope with this letter 
in it. Who'd have thought that this stuff would be discussed via an 
instant communications method thirty-one years later?

Thanks,

Jayson
