Selector /// - The Best Program Switcher For The Apple ///
Do you use a ProFile, Quark, Sider, UniDisk ///.5 or CPS disk drive?
Are you sick of the time it takes loading each of your different programs? Tired of searching though stacks and stacks of floppy disks for a particular program? Do you have a hard disk or a large capacity floppy disk drive? If so you can cure all of these headaches and more with the purchase of Selector ///!
Selector allows you to place all of the programs listed below (and many more) on your hard disk or large ca- pacity floppy disk drive. Instead of waiting and waiting for a particular program to boot up, you simply boot your Apple /// with the Selector disk. When you want to run a program, just select it from the easy to use Selector menu by highlighting it and pressing RETURN. Ina flash the program is loaded from the hard disk and you can be using it in seconds, not the minutes it usually takes.
Selector /// works perfectly with the Apple 5 and 10 megabyte ProFile, the Quark QC 10 and 20 drives, the Sider 10, Sider 20, Sider 40, the Trustor drives, the UniDisk ///.5 and the new CPS 800K drive. It even has an automatic installation program that places Selector on your hard disk or other floppy drive.
Selector can speed up using your Apple /// and make your use of the Apple /// more productive and beneficial. It even works with programs that you write in Basic, Pascal or assembly language! Selector can hold hundreds of programs with it’s hierarchical menus while other selectors only allow you 12 or 24 programs.
Selector is the only switching utility for the Apple /// that is completely compatible with virtually every disk drive and program for the Apple ///. Order Selector /// today and become a real power user. Special offer! Order Selector /// today for only $49.95 plus $7 s/h. That's 50% off the regular price!

A History of Robert Lissner s /// E-Z Pieces
by David Ottalini /// SIG Co-Chairman
Insight into a great program
When he was designing it he said, “Should I do it on the Apple ///?” and I said, ““You’ll never be able to sell the Apple II product to Apple if you don’t do it on an Apple ///.” Because internally at Apple everybody was using the Apple ///. There was not an Apple II being used around the company. If you want to sell them something you ve got to have software that can run on what they are using.
- Don Williams, Former Apple Business Marketing Manager At the Phase /// Conference October, 1987
Apple /// users are lucky to have /// EZ Pieces, the original AppleWorks integrated program that combines a word processor, data base and spreadsheet. It was a hit almost from the start, and drew rave reviews from the computer press. But it almost wasn’t developed for the ///. And therein lies our story. The purpose of this article is to look at the history of /// EZ Pieces and how it came to be developed for the Apple ///.
It’s an interesting story, one that could not have been told without the help of Don Williams, the current President of Productivity Software (the developers of Microsoft Works...the Macintosh version of AppleWorks). Wil- liams worked two times for Apple Computer during the early 1980s, years when the Apple /// was being devel- oped, introduced and later, reintroduced. This article makes heavy reference to two talks given by Williams about Apple Computer and the Apple /// during the Phase /// Conference in Chicago, Illinois in October, 1987.
THE EARLY DAYS
Our story begins with a lucky coincidence. Don Wil- liams and Rupert (later Robert) Lissner lived across the street from each other. Williams had worked at IBM for 16 years and in September, 1979 jumped ship to Apple. He did financial forecasting to begin with and then took a full-time job as Apple’s Business Marketing Manager.
Williams did not want his family to live in Silicon Valley, choosing instead Scotts Valley, a good 17 “miles of terror” (Williams words!) drive away over the Santa Cruz Mountains. He and Bob Lissner were soon to become close friends: “The first time I ever met Bob Lissner, he was in his bathrobe and slippers coming out to get his newspaper. He lived across the street from me. And he was writing mainframe code in Silicon Valley for the public school system.”
Lissner had bigger ideas than writing code for the public schools, however. He wanted to know what he could do to “make some money in the micro business” and looked on his new-found friend Don Williams for some an- swers. An Apple II data base program called File Cabinet began the journey towards a solution. The President of Apple, Mike Markkula had rewritten File Cabinet as “Small Job.” But the Apple // Division refused to publish it because they claimed it was “spaghetti code” and not in Pascal, the program of choice at the time. Markulla needed someone to rewrite it, and Williams realized that Robert Lissner was that person.
By mid August, Lissner and Markkula had met and by October, 1981, the Pascal version of “Small Job” was up and running. Lissner later rewrote the program in As- sembly code, speeding it up by about 40%. “Small Job” finally got published as “Quick File” in both Apple /// and Apple II versions.
THE INTEGRATED IDEA
By the Spring of 1982, Don Williams had left Apple the first time to start his own software company (before Productivity Software). To get things going, he pro- posed to Bob Lissner the development of a word proces- sor for the IBM PC because there weren’t many available at that time. But Lissner was more interested in a version for the Apple II family. Now comes the interesting part. Lissner got the idea to merge the word processor with
ON THREE Magazine - July/August, 1989
Quick File. Writing to the National Appleworks Users Group in November, 1988, Lissner said the Lisa Inte- grated Office System convinced him that he could do something similar on the Apple II (but without the graphics interface).
Basing the word processor on Word Juggler, he got the program (combined with the data base) running enough to show Mike Markkula at Apple. Markkula thought that was a great idea, but had his own suggestion. Marry it to a spreadsheet for a truly integrated package. That night, Bob Lissner was banging on Don Williams door, asking what he should use for a spreadsheet. It just so happened that Don had a spare copy of VisiCalc. And by the Summer of 1983, the program with word processor (based on Word Juggler), data base (based on Small Job/ Quick File) and spreadsheet (based on VisiCalc) was up and running.
One other interesting note here. Because Don Williams told Bob Lissner to develop the program for the /// first, he decided to make it as easy on himself as he could. So, Lissner wrote his own high speed Assembler that could be used to turn his source code quickly into either an Apple /// version or an Apple II version with a minimum of change (the programs really were the same at the start. The only major difference was how they dealt with their respective operating systems: SOS and ProDos). In fact, if you list the /// EZ Pieces boot and program disks, you’ ll notice that SOS. Interp, Seg.00, and Seg.PR are all listed as ProDos System disks. There’s no mention of SOS on either disk!
APPLE MAKES A DECISION
It was at this point that /// EZ Pieces hit its crossroads. Bob Lissner wrote the program on and for the /// so it would be accepted by Apple and published for both Apple II Family machines. Yet Apple decided not to distribute the /// version. There never was an “official reason” for the decision. But by that point, it was probably obvious to the “Powers That Were” in Cu- pertino that the /// was not going to last much longer (development stopped in May, 1984 and it was discon- tinued in 1985). Had the decision been otherwise, well, Bob Lissner put it this way: |
“Given the ultimate popularity of AppleWorks, one must
wonder what impact Apple’s decision not to publish /// EZ Pieces had upon the longevity of the Apple /// computer.”
And so, while deciding to distribute AppleWorks for the Apple I, Apple returned the Apple /// rights to its author in late 1983. Bob Lissner turned around and signed an agreement with Chaz Haba of Haba Systems to publish the package as /// EZ Pieces. It was called “The Execu- tive Work Station; A High Performance 4-part Business Package” and the retail price was $295.00. In a July, 1984 article in the old “Softalk Magazine’, author David Hunter wrote that Haba had made a “smart move” by picking up /// EZ Pieces and that it “is currently a runaway bestseller in the /// market.” Chaz Haba even said that Bob Lissner was a big influence on the company and its programmers.
Despite the optimistic outlook provided by the article (“Busting down the walls of its current space, financially healthy (the company just received $2 million dollars in venture capital) and bubbling over with creativity, Haba Systems seems destined to get its name in lights. And they don’t give a damn about IBM), Haba had its troub- les. Refusing to write programs for the IBM was short- sighted, and its programs for the Macintosh proved to be less than best-sellers. The demise of the /// also didn’t help matters, although Apple did bundle 3 EZPs with all Apple ///s for the final few months it was still produced.
Only Bob Lissner and Chaz Haba know when it hap- pened, but at some point (probably about the time the Apple /// was discontinued in 1985), Haba stopped send- ing royalty checks. That decision was made before Haba’s “name in lights” burned out and it faded into bankruptcy (even after it had taken on a partner and was called Haba/Arrays). There’s little information about it, but Lissner apparently has yet to get the rights back from Haba for the program (word is he simply doesn’t want to waste his time with it).
At the point of Haba’s bankruptcy, Sun Remarketing in Logan, Utah purchased all the remaining 3 EZP stock. On Three buys copies from Sun to sell to its customers as well. Bob Consorti, On Three’s President says it makes more sense to continue selling the program, with the instruction manual, rather than have people ask for support for illegal copies.
ON THREE Magazine - July/August, 1989
THE FINAL UPGRADE
As released, 3 EZPs was and is version 1.0. Those who purchase On Three’s 512K memory kit also get an upgrade to version 1.1, that simply allows the program to take advantage of the additional memory. There have been no additional changes. Unlike AppleWorks, there have never been any attempts to “patch” the program to improve it (and AppleWorks patches do not work on 3 EZPS).
However, there was an attempt in early 1987 to upgrade the program to the then-current 2.0 version of Apple- Works. Bob Consorti of On Three got Bob Lissner to agree to write the upgrade if 5000 /// users would pay a $50.00 fee. Flyers went out to On Three’s huge mailing list of 22,000 Apple /// users and ///ers on CompuServe and in the remaining clubs spoke of nothing else for a number of months. Even with the publicity, nomore than 1000+ users agreed to the update and Lissner decided not to go ahead with it. That effectively ended all hopes for ever upgrading the program and it stands now as it always has at version 1.0.
Despite the disappointment, /// EZ Pieces remains the favorite Apple /// program of all time. Its roots with AppleWorks make it a program that will continue to be a favorite for as long as there are users of the Apple ///. And that, we suspect, will be for a long time to come!

A Practical Guide To Keeping Your Apple /// Running Smoothly
SpreadSheet Balancing Act by Gary G. Ricker
I am an Apple /// owner and have just started using the program /// E-Z Pieces. I set up a spreadsheet to break down court cost for a friend of mine (a court clerk). The cells are filled in by a look up table according to the cost. Each column must be totaled and the entire sheet bal- anced out with the column totals equaling the row totals.
Ihave set the sheet up so that each column totals and then each row totals. In the lower right hand comer of the sheet I seta balance cell. The balance cell uses the logical function >IF<.
This formula checks the entire sheet and if anything does not balance it displays the “ERROR” message. This had proved especially helpful in that a large number of my entries are label entries and sometimes a value is entered as a label and the totals are not correct.
I do have one problem that perhaps someone else can help with when I use the column totals to produce a monthly report. As I use several sheets I have set up a monthly report on a different spreadsheet. I keep trying to find a way to copy the column totals to the clipboard. I then insert them in the other sheet. I do this with several sheets and I need to total up all of these. The problem arises when I recalculate the cells I copied still contain the formulas and they calculate to give me errors. I want to know if there is some way to copy the values only, not the formula which gave me the value - without transfer- ring them manually.
Remember, if you have a hint, share it with us and we'll share it with all Apple /// owners.

Questions And Answers From Your Apple /// Experts
Wrong Way Driver Dear Sir:
I recently purchased an Epson MX-100 printer for my Apple ///. can print using the Epson with AppleWriter and QuickFile but have been unable to add the printer to my VisiCalc program. Also, when using AppleWriter how do you change to the different print modes that are built into the Epson?
I do hope that you can help with these problems or refer me to someone who will be able to answer my questions.
Sincerely,
Carol McGahan Grand Island, Nebraska
Dear Ms. McGahan,
It sounds asif you simply need the correct driver installed on your VisiCalc disk for things to work properly. To get the correct printer driver on your VisiCalc disk, use the System Utilities program to copy the file named SOS.DRIVER from either your AppleWriter or Quick- File disk onto your VisiCalc disk. Note that the System Utilities program will ask you to make sure you want to delete the old SOS.DRIVER file before it copies the new one. After you do this your VisiCalc program should print correctly.
With regards to the different print modes that’s a bit more difficult. If you study your Epson manual you will find that to enable certain modes such as boldface or under- line a command code must be sent from the computer to the printer. These codes cause the printer to switch from one mode to another.
In AppleWriter you can insert a control code into your text by pressing CONTROL V at the same time. After that you will be able to type the character representations of the control code that you want to insert into your document. These keyboard equivalents of the control
codes can be found in the back of the Standard Device Driver’s manual.
With those two bits of info you can insert whatever control code your printer needs for the effect you desire. . When you’re finished with the control code(s) you can go back to entering normal characters by pressing CONTROL V asecond time. This will put you back into text input mode where you can insert more text, save, print your document or whatever you want.
Incorrectly Installed TDM Dear Mr. Consorti,
I would appreciate your assistance with a problem I’m having with The Desktop Manager and AppleWriter 4.0. I copies AppleWriter with a program called EDD, by Utilco, and the copies work fine. However, when I attempt to add TDM to the driver file, I get an error message “System Failure $01”. This is a re-entrant system call according to the manual. Of course I have no idea what that means or how to correct the problem. It may be important to note that I copied the SOS driver file from a working copy of /// E-Z Pieces. Also when I change the status of the .DESKTOPMANGER driver to inactive, the AppleWriter program runs fine.
A second question regarding AppleWriter. Is there a command function comparable to the Control B refor-

matting that lam accustomed to in WordStar. Really, the only reason I would consider changing is to get to use The Desktop Manager and gain some versatility in SOS instead of C/PM.
I have also been unsuccessful in adding TDM to the Checkbook 3 program by Pair Software. It initializes TDM but then continues to read the disk instead of returning to the Checkbook program disk and continuing with the boot process.
I appreciate the support you provide for the Apple ///,. keep up the good work.
Yours very truly,
Don L. White Louisville, Kentucky
Dear Mr. White,
Please note our new address and phone number. To start off with, you do not need to us EDD to copy the 4.0 version of AppleWriter. Among its strengths is that the program 1s not copyprotected and may be copied with the normal system utilities program. That should help you a little.
Now for the hard part. The problem you describe happens when the .DESKTOPMANAGER driver is installed in the SOS.DRIVER file by using the system
configuration program rather than the Desktop Manager installation utility. The installation utility changes both the SOS.DRIVER file and a hidden file on the disk called the SOS boot code.
The SOS boot code 1s located on blocks O and 1 of every bootable Apple /// disk. It contains the routine that loads in the SOS.KERNEL file which then loads in the drivers and interpreter. Before it does any of this it first checks to see how much memory is in the system to see where to load SOS into. The Desktop Manager modified boot code reserves one 32K bank of memory for the Desktop Manager. When the .DESKTOPMANAGER driver gets control, it expects it to have the highest bank of memory for itself. When you install the .DESKTOPMANAGER drive manually this does not occur as SOS itself is loaded in the highest bank of memory.

The Desktop Manager ends up calling some routine in SOS rather than in itself which results in the quick system crash. The solution is to use the installation program to add the driver and you’ll be set.
I don’t know what the CONTROL-B function does in WordStar but if it involves screen reformatting you won't be able to duplicate it in AppleWriter. It’s not a WYSIS YG (What you see is what you get) type of word processor as you have to manually insert the codes to switch from one printing mode to another and no on- screen viewing of the results is possible.
There is another word processor that may serve your needs better in this capacity. It’s the word processor in ///E-Z Pieces. It does on-screen displays of repagination and may be what you are looking for in a word processor.
I don’t know what the problem is with the Checkbook 3 program but you should make sure that the .DESKTOP- MANAGER driver is installed as described above. If that doesn’t fix it, please make sure that you are using the 1.3 version of SOS and the 1.3 or 1.31 version of the -CONSOLE driver. Thanks for your order.
/// E-Z Pieces is best Dear Sir,
Thank you for sending me a complimentary copy of ON THREE. Ihave found it useful tome. Iam anew owner of an Apple ///+. Ihave many questions that I hope can be answered by the book I have ordered from you. I also want to start my subscription to ON THREE.
Ido have a question about the Apple ///+. Whatis the best way to set the system up. I mean what is needed to have a good basic system, with the power to do ordinary computing. For example, what programs are the best to have, what type of printer is the best for my system etc. I am a teacher and have cause to use my computer often. I also have the program /// E-Z Pieces. What type of program is the Titan ///+//e and is it one of the programs I need to have in my collection? I just need some suggestions as to what else I may need to get to be more productive.
Thank you for your help so far. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Lewis Cook Washington, Kentucky
Dear Mr. Cook,
Since you already have the /// E-Z Pieces program you’re on your way to using the Apple /// to the best of its capabilities. With the power of a word processor, data base and a spreadsheet that program is the best all around package for any Apple /// owner.
For a good purpose printer I suggest a Panasonic KXP model. They are dot matrix style printers but have a switch that you can use to select the print quality. Draft mode is the fastest printing but you can select the slower
near letter quality print mode. This provides very high
quality printouts. The KXP 1091 is the one we use at the office and we’ve had very good luck with it.
The Titan ///+//e is a set of two interface cards that fit inside your Apple /// that provides the Apple /// with the capability to run software that requires a 128K Apple // e. It’s not a perfect emulation but it does a good job. The only sticking point is its price. At about $300 it’s almost a better idea to go buy a used Apple //e.
I think that covers it. If you have any further question or problems please don’t hesitate in calling or writing to us at our new address.
Game & Number Pick
Improved version of Pick-It (ON THREE, Feb. ’87). Setup for 7 standard games and can be used for other games. Eliminate duplicates & places numbers in order when necessary.
Numbers can be sent to the printer. Send $1 & astamped self-address envelope for a copy of the program or send $7 for the program on disk.

How Would You Like A Fast, Reliable And Easy To Use Hard Disk Backup?
After years of complaints about Backup /// being too slow and in many cases losing people’s important information we’ve decided to do something about it. We know that many people never backup their hard disk because Backup /// is soooo slow or because they’ve had a problem with it losing information.
A while back we started work on a product we call Go Back. If you’re sick and tired of the time it takes to backup your hard disk with Backup /// or the System Utilities, Go Back is what you need.
Go Back is written entirely in assembly language for speed, is four to five times faster than Backup /// and much more reliable. We guarantee it!
We were about half-way finished with the project when we stepped back, took a look at the potential market and asked ourselves, "Will there be enough sales to warrant finishing Go Back?"
If there’s enough interest in Go Back we will com- plete it. Now we don’t want you to send in your money, or give us acredit card number. All we want is your assurance that you will buy Go Back if we spend the effort to finish it. Actually, we want the assurance of at least two hundred people.
If you want a reliable, very quick and inexpensive (around $50) program for backing up your hard disk, drop us a note or give us a call at (206) 659-6245. Just leave your name and address so we can notify you if and when the project is finished.
