- And I took it upon myself to completely rewrite the inCider program
- BasicPaint, paying close attention to the minimal IIgs memory
- configuration. It gives 320 x 200 x 256colors x 4screens, and was coded
- mostly in AppleSoft BASIC, since I knew what stuff it messed with, and
- what else I could do with as I will. (I had more extra memory
- available, I just chose not to use it! I liked having /RAM5 available
- on my 1 3.5", 1 5.25" system. Still do.)
-
- Of course, it did break several rules, and most likely would give GS/OS
- a severe cerebral embolism, but it did what I wanted!
