Well, nice work on his part, but all he had to do was e-mail me and I
could've sent him a perfect copy, which I've had for years, and which I've
given out to several people.
Also, I simply read the program from a copy I have on tape into an Apple
][+. Once you get the volume levels correct on the cassette tape (not
trivial, but do-able after enough tries) then it's a no-brainer. No fancy
waveform graphs or C code required.
Finally, Apple-1 BASIC is simply "Integer BASIC", which came with the
Apple ][ and is pretty readily available itself.
Anyway, it was a nice intellectual exercise.
