IFComp
After my little side trip with MACHID in the last couple of days I’ve come to realize that my plan to write an adventure program for the Apple II had hit a snag. I had originally planned to write it…
MACHID, Finished
I cleaned up the ZBasic and Applesoft versions of MACHID. I put them onto the disk image MACHID.DSK and uploaded it. The disk image is a boot disk. I’ve added the driver for the no slot clock which will work…

Inform? No.
As I suspected, there is not a version of inform for the Apple II, either compiler or interpreter. Apparently, there was a version for the //gs, but I don’t have one. I’m looking for something that when all is said…
