Apple Disk Library

compiled by John Ruffatto The Apple Disk Library has been updated and reformatted to enable you to more easily locate those disks in which you are interested. 3.5" disks are listed first, followed by 5.25" disks. Look forthe eA and + icons which distinguish them. For your reference - the numbers shown in parentheses ( ) after the disk names are the old disk numbers. SW after the name of a disk indicates that it is ShareWare. 3.5" DISKS _ GSFT-15 K M-Fancy _ GSFT-16L M-Foreign SYSTEM DISKS (2 DISK SET $6) GSFT-17 · M-Plain _ GSAS-01 System Disk V. 5.0.4 = GSFT-18 M-Graphic _ GSAS-02 System Tools V. 5.0.4 _GSFT-19 N-Plain, Fancy _ GSFT-20 N-Foreign, Graphic JIGS COMMUNICATIONS 0 _ GSCM-OlB FreeTenn (2003) P-Foreign, Graphic _ GSCM-02A SnowTerm (SW) _ GSFT-21 P-Ploin, Fancy _GSFT-22 Q lIGS DEMO (18 DISK SET-$48) R _ GSDM-01 Cartooner's Demo _GSFT-23 S-Foncy GSDM-02 Deluxe Paint ll Demo T-Fancy _ GSDM-03 Music Studio Demo _GSFT-24 S-Plain, Graphic _ GSDM-04 Beagle Writes GS Demo _GSFT-25 S-Foreign _ GSDM-05 Calendar Crafter Demo T-Plain _ GSDM-06 G.A.T.E.
