- }APDA used to sell the "Desktop ToolKit" (or some such name) which contained an
- }EdASM toolkit for writing desktop programs for the double Hi-Res screen. They
- }obviously haven't supported this package in quite some time. Check Resource
- }Central to see if they carry it. Also, a MousText version of the toolkit was
- }also available. (As was a toolkit for building "Appleworks" type interfaces
- }for your programs. Oh, the toolkits have BASIC routines also if my memory
- }serves me correctly. I have the "desktop" toolkit disks laying around at home
- }(But I'm at work right now and can't remember anymore details).

- I have a copy. It doesn't work 100% though. If you recall, the product
- never made it to final release stages. I had fun playing with it though.
- I don't do anything with it anymore and don't wish to part with it
- anytime soon :)
-
- It was easy to design stuff with the toolkit though. You could have the
- basic GUI front-end done in a matter of days/weeks without trying much.
