Hi Silverdr yes this is still online on Maurices server at:

www.cbmfiles.com/geos/

With the FREE GEOS at at the above URL as far as the OS itself are the
serial numbers removed or are those still there and need to be removed?

Since were on the subject of Geos I have a programming inquiry about Wheels
(the GEOS upgrade)?
If some interested individual knows more about coding in either
GEOS/Wheels  more so in Wheels since its unique routines differ some.
Im working on a Wheels app and if someone could possibly help me with the
code please send me an email.

 Yearrrrsss ago around 1999 or so Maurice debugged GeoProgrammer and
removed all of the OP Code bugs so he
renamed the upgrades to:
Concept- Just like GeoProgrammer except all the bugs are completely gone,
you can only code small apps etc.
NOTE: Concept is not compatible with the older GEO Debugger.  Concept has
its own small debugger that works along with Geo Write.

Concept Plus-  Supports the CMD Super CPU, you can still code 8-bit apps or
16-bit code apps,  The assembly and Linking is far more
faster.  This version also is not compatible with the older GeoDebugger
app.  This version also has its own built in small debugger that works
along
with Geo Write.
I believe some of the GEOS Macros for Wheels may be somewhat different
also, but the original Geo Programmer Macros Disk I think can
still be used.
 You can find both Concept/ Concept Plus on Bo Zimmermans website:
www.zimmers.net in the GEOS section of his website, When
Maurice Released Wheels in 1998 he shared all of the main Wheels routines
and he also supported email questions from interested programmers
this info is on Bo Zimmermans website as well, plus other plain GEOS
programming info for those who may be interested.

For those who still have a real C64/ C128/  and you wish to code in the
older style, but GEOS/Wheels code uses very unique routines that
work along with ML OP codes.

Anyway Mr Randall and a few in the United States used to code quite a bit
years ago I wish we could do something similar and get more interested ones
coding Geos/Wheels/MegaPatch apps.  The usual problem though is for those
who no longer own a real Commodore 64/128, very few Super CPU's but to
my knowledge I think there are PC tools for coding for the 65816 if some
dont have the older hardware.

Sorry to ramble but I have this interest in learning ML and coding for
GEOS/Wheels and I would even support MegaPatch.
What Im saying is I wish we even had either an email list or even a forum
dedicated for GEOS/Wheels/MegaPatch for just
programming for the OS  etc.
