Apple //c as a Terminal, Part 1
I downloaded a copy of ZLink. It’s a communications program for the Apple II. I remember it used to work fairly well. I swapped laptops in my docking station, so I could try using the Apple //c as a terminal…
Hamurabi, Pseudo Coding, Part Two
The first thing we need to do is make a small correction to the previous post on pseudo coding this project. I reversed the order of the land steps and they should be: Handle land purchase, if any. Handle land…

This afternoon my two Pascal Books came in. They came in packed in one of those plastic bag type sealed envelope making you wonder what kind of shape they were going to be in. They were in fine shape. Pascal…
Hamurabi, Applesoft
In my last post about the Applesoft version of Hamurabi, I noted the spacing problem and the tedious fix of retyping each of the lines that had issues. There is a way to edit lines using escape codes, but I always found…
