Was it difficult to fit that version of the ZCode interpreter onto an Apple II? Did you have to make any compromises from the other versions? How was it working with Infocom (Activision?) at that time? On an unrelated note, there's something I'm curious about. I remember reading in an old issue of CGW that when you guys came to name Wolf3D you did a search for the then-current owner of Silas Marner's Castle Wolfenstein. CGW claimed that the copyright had somehow lapsed in the many changes of hands CW went through (someone was supposedly still selling copies from their garage). Is that story true or did you just buy the existing CW copyright? -- Edward Franks -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

I had forgotten how easy it for people to write their own OSes for the A2. Did you do anything different for the IIGS or was InfoDOS just targeted to the II+/e/c Apples? I never worked with the IIGS so I'm curious if much game development was done for or on the IIGS itself. [Snip] Wolf3D-wise, yes the copyright had lapsed on Castle Wolfenstein. Muse Software went out of business in 1985 so seven years later when we were looking for the owner of the copyright it ended up that someone bought their inventory and was selling that from their house, but didn't keep up any of the copyrights so we just registered it and got it. Thanks for the info. Given the current climate of hanging onto any and all intellectual property I just wondered if the CGW story was accurate. -- Edward Franks -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
