[Blindapple] aTalk disks for 1986

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I'm attaching a file called scmasm.zip. This archive has a file called 
scmasm2.dsk which is my talking version of the SC Macro Assembler for 
DOS 3.3, version 2.0. The program works just fine with Textalker right 
out of the box, I just made a boot disk that has Textalker on it.

There are also several text files of documentation. You should probably 
begin with scmasm10.txt. These documents will show you how to use the 
assembler.

Hope this helps,

Jayson
