AUTHOR: Michael O'Brien <mobrien@netcom.com>; upgrade executables by Terry Hsu <TERA.bbs@bbs.ee.nthu.edu.tw>.
STATUS: Source code released for public modification.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: AppleWin is a 32-bit Windows program which emulates a "Platinum" model enhanced Apple //e with 128k RAM. It supports all video modes, including double high-res and mixed mode. It plays sound through a sound card (preferred) or the PC speaker. It supports emulating an Apple joystick using the PC keyboard, joystick, or mouse. It allows saving to disk images and on- the-fly swapping of disk images.
There are two versions of AppleWin, both included in the ZIP file: applew31.exe Use this version if you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups. You must also install the Win32s 32-bit extensions, which are available from the same FTP site. applewin.exe Use this version if you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT.
It is recommended that you switch your video card to 256-color mode for best performance when running AppleWin. If you are having trouble using AppleWin with your video driver, or trouble formatting disks under AppleWin, obtain and install "patch2.zip" which is available from the same FTP site.
If you do not have a joystick driver for Windows, you can obtain "ibmjoy.zip" from the FTP site. Remember to calibrate your joystick using the Windows Control Panel before using it in AppleWin.
By default, AppleWin controls its emulation speed so that it runs exactly as fast as a real Apple //e. If you would like for it to run as fast as possible on your system, click on the Configuration button (on the bottom) and turn off the "control system speed" option.
Versions 1.00 and 1.10 are faster and includes speed control, modem support, and monochrome monitor emulation. Version 1.00 requires Windows 95 or NT (not Win32s). And both now come with source code!
ROMS: AppleWin comes with the necessary Apple ][+ and //e ROMs, stored in "APPLE2.ROM" and "APPLE2E.ROM".
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3, ProDOS and nibblized orders (auto-detecting).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80486 or better running Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5, or Windows 3.1 (Windows 3.1 requires Win32s).
FURTHER REFERENCES: "README.TXT" (Text file included in the archive). Online help available from within AppleWin.
