Apple Programmer's Workshop

I have spent several hours searching websites and Apple II software archives looking for the Apple IIgs Programmer's Workshop. I have a couple of books that talk about the APW, a mention on Wikipedia's IIgs page and a few references on a couple of blogs, but I can't find the actual program. Does anyone know how to obtain it (or can give me a copy)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
James

Check here?

I'm guessing you already did, since you said you spent a lot of time searching, but there are some apple II programming tools here, which might help if you can't find the APW.

there's a file here AWGS.prog.shk ... who knows what someone may name a file to store it on his/her server?

Hope you find it, good luck.

Cortland Programmers Workshop is what  Byteworks named it before it was provided to Apple and renamed Apple Programmers Workshop

 

 

Cortland Programmer’s Workshop

The Original Apple IIGS Development Environment

 

Back when the Apple IIGS was still a dream at Apple Computer, Apple began looking for a development environment to use for the new computer. It would have so much more RAM than the original Apple //e that an entirely different approach was needed. As it happened, ORCA/M for the Apple //e was already in place with a link editor, relocatable object module format, and support for the 65802 processor.

 

Apple decided to use a 16 bit version of ORCA/M as the standard development environment for the new machine, code named Cortland. On July 21, 1986, the last version of this environment that was still called Cortland Programmer’s Workshop was delivered to Apple for shipment to the developer community. Later versions were called Apple Programmer’s Workshop, or just APW.

 

Click on the disk image above to get your copy of that original submission to Apple Computer. The download file is a zipped DiskCopy 4.2 image, suitable for use on Apple IIGS emulators like Sweet16.

How to start Cortland Programmer's Workshop?

When loaded into KEGS, clicking on 'ORCA.SYSTEM', results in the message "Place /CPW on line." Does anyone know what to do to get it to run? 

Above this cryptic message is the following text that indicates version information...

"                                                                 ORCA/HOST V4.1 A11

                                                                 Copyright (C) June 1986

                                                          By The Byte Works, Incorporated

Place /CPW on line."

The above is how the screen appears.

Any help would be appreciated
