ProZAP Introduction


     Welcome to ProZAP, one of the first software tools to be offered for 
Apple Computer's new ProDOS operating system.  ProZAP is your key to unlock 
many of the mysteries of the Apple disk directories, files and programs.  
You will use it to follow your Apple's footsteps along the ProDOS Pathname 
until you find where it put your information.

     You can simply take a tour of a disk to see what's there, or you can
actually change the data.  Therefore be warned:  IT IS POSSIBLE TO DESTROY
VALUABLE DATA, AND EVEN TO MAKE PART OR ALL OF A DISK COMPELTELY UNREADABLE.
