Apple II

Hi!  I'm working on an update of my printtok.c module that will use a modified version of Infocom's ZSCII technique and tokenization to compress text.  The current version only uses tokenization, is inferior and only helped a text adventure's text by about 13%.  While I'm working on it, does anybody here have any ideas on how I can better compress text such that each string doesn't have to reference a previous string?  

I have found myself teaching a computers class (something that falls outside my regular purview) as a result of staff shortages at my school, and I'm wanting to introduce coding to the kids using BASIC. The trouble is, there really was never a good curriculum to follow for something like this because BASIC as a language isn't commonly taught anymore and I feel like most of the teachers that WOULD have taught BASIC all created their own stuff anyway.

Hi!  I've been working on a memory enhancement for the Apple2enh target for cc65, and the emulator went directly into the monitor.  :(  It seems to have extra data in the beginning of the file.  I assume this data is not supposed to be there.  Earlier today, I tried to write a program to test how cc65 handles text for the Apple2 series and got the same results.  I must be doing something wrong.  I checked the cc65 docs. and tried to remove the header.  Same result.  How do I compile a cc65 program for the Apple2?

Hi!  I like the C64.  It has some good games.  In fact, I have a lot of good screenshots of them at c65 additions - Manage /c64_game_pics at SourceForge.net.  They are mainly in the form of Windows wallpaper, screenshots as .bmp files and Win98 startup screens.  Now, I'm asking if there are any good Apple2 games with graphics good enough to do this, and, if there are, their names and how to get a screenshot from the AppleWin emulator.  Thank you.
