[My apologies for the duplication for anyone who reads the classiccmp mailing list.]
Does anyone have a copy of the original “Macintosh Basic” that they’d be willing to share?
What I’m looking for is the version of Basic that was written by Donn Denman et al. at Apple in 1985 or so — have a look at http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=MacBasic.txt if you don't know the story.
Beta copies were widely available in the user-group community at the time (and several books were published describing the language), but Apple “cancelled" the project before it officially shipped; I recall having a copy myself in early 1985, but I can’t find the disk.
I’ve done some searching online, but it appears not to be available in the usual places.
Thanks very much,
Rob Ferguson
