Source Code

Davex for the Apple ][ now Available

The Apple ][ command shell, Davex is now available for download.  The shell written by famed Apple programmer Dave Lyons, is a pure command line shell for ProDOS 8.

According to David Schmidt's post in CSA2, "The current (preliminary) version is 1.30p, and includes executables on disk images for both ProDOS and SOS computers and emulators.  The ProDOS version currently lacks some of the external commands (but you can watch the Sourceforge project for more), and the SOS version is currently a minimal subset of the ProDOS version.  One and all are welcome to use and contribute."

To download the shell or get the documentation, check out the Davex website at:

Mr. Fixit Source Released for Apple ][ Prosel

After a request by Willi Kuche, the Apple ][ community came together and managed to come up with two versions of the source code for Glen Bredon’s Mr. Fixit for Prosel 8.  Being as no original source code was available, two people in particular disassembled the program and have posted their respective versions to the internet.

Antoine Vignau of Brutal Deluxe Software posted his Merlin based version of the source code at:

http://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/public/mrfixit/

Willi Kuche also decided to create a version as well, however, his version is Kyan Assembler based.  The version he has created also goes a bit more in depth in the comments than the Merlin based version, according to notes in the CSA2.  No download link has been provided for the Kyan Assembler based source yet, however we have contacted the author for the information.

For those interested in other Glen Bredon materials, you can check out the complete Glen Bredon archives at

The only items not in the archives are the items related to the Big Mac assembler which is distributed by A.P.P.L.E.
