I'd be interested in both source and machine readable. It would be fun
to run FOCAL
again.

Subject: Ancient 6502 FOCAL source code
I've got the machine readable FOCAL source file
available now. It's in
6502
Assembly Language, PAL65 syntax, which will make
DEC-users comfortable
and the
rest of us cringe, but that's what available.
I've been unable to find
the
FOCAL manual, which I incorporated into my last
assembly of the code,
hence
believe it's on a different diskette from which I
last assembled the
thing in
'81-'82 or so, as a printer exercise, actually.
Let me know if you want the FOCAL interpreter source, and I'll email it
to you.

I'll happily give you a copy of the source, (to be forwarded under separate
cover) and, if you like, I'll even give you a copy of the PAL65 Assembler binary
and source. Unfortunately, they run under a locally written OS for the APPLE][,
called APEX, and you may have a problem using the sources without a good bit of
whittling. Of course, I've also got the sources for the OS, but it's written in
a locally generated HLL, called XPL0, (yes, that's a zero, not an 'O;') and
that's not mine to give away without first checking with the owner. I doubt it
will be a problem, though. I just want to respect the rights of the authors.

I'd be interested in copies of the APEX FOCAL. I have APEX on
my Apple II. I tried to pick up the FOCAL for it long ago but the
place where I picked up my APEX didn't have it and never got a
copy in.
