The floppy-image is stored on the Mac in a format that is recognized by IIe, the Apple //e emulator for the Mac, written by Victor and Vincent Tan (see: http://www-personal.usyd.edu.au/~vtan/sw/index.html). One of the users of ][2Mac even reported, that he has successfully transferred DOS 3.3-, ProDOS- as well as Pascal-formatted disks from his Apple //e to his Mac, and that he is using the diskimages now on his Mac, in the IIgs emulator called 'Bernie ][ the Rescue' (see: http://www.magnet.ch/emutech/Bernie/). Also... ][2Mac enables you to use a Macintosh to send out and receive Apple-][-disks to and from your friends over the internet... 12-aug-1998, v1.2.3 -Fixed a problem that made the first backup after an attempt to backup a copy-protected floppy unsuccessfull -The Apple-][ now stops sending when a disk-full occurs on the Mac-side -AL=2 (in line 20) now sends all sectors of a 35-track floppy, simply skipping the bad sectors (those that result in I/O-errors) -Implemented a fix that allows you to define how often disk-read-errors will be retried. To do this use the RM (RetryMaximum) variable in line 20. The default number of retries is now defined to be 1, which should be OK.

It displays the lifetimes and travels of historical figures, and dates and locations of historical events. It is a tool for keeping track of when and where things happened, and their relationships to each other. A resource of over 800 people, events and places is included. The database has a simple text format, so that more historical information can be added by any user. A complete description of the file format is included. The two main windows are the time-line window, which shows lives and events against a variable time scale, and the map window, which shows people and events in their geographic locations during an interval of time. There is also a genealogy window which shows the ancestors and descendants of a selected person and a "This Day in History" window which lists all milestones occurring on a particular day of the year. The program is called "Twistory" because it puts a new "twist on history." It is not intended - and cannot be used - as a substitute for proper reading and research into a historical period. Rather, it is meant to provide a way to keep track of the multitude of different peoples, dynasties, empires and developments throughout history. It is intended to answer questions like, "What else was happening in the world at that time?" and, "Did A live at the same time as B, or before?" It is intended to provide the user with "the big picture." Twistory is a FAT binary, and requires system 7. It uses about 4.2 Mb of disk space, and needs about 2 Mb of RAM to run comfortably. With a large monitor or with several windows open, 4 Mb is better. Instructions are included in both TEXT and HTML format. Twistory is $10 (US or CAN) shareware. You may evaluate it for free. If you use it regularly, keep it for more than one month, or use it for presentation to a group, I would enjoy getting a little something for it. If you feel so obliged, you may send the payment to the address included with the program. If you desire support, please send your e-mail address along, and I will write back. This program is free for all users who have registered a previous version of it. J.
