A note about Apple II

Apple II variants other than II+/IIe/Enhanced IIe are untested; this includes the original II, IIc and IIc+, but also later compatible computers (Apple III and IIgs). They may or may not work.

The compiler output is a raw machine code file, which then has to be put on a disk. You can do it using CiderPress, AppleCommander, or some other tool.

The file has to be loaded from $0C00. An example how to put such file onto a disk using AppleCommander:

java -jar AppleCommander-1.3.5.jar -p disk_image.dsk FILENAME B 0xc00 < compiler_output.a2

Creating a bootable disk is beyond the scope of this document.
