Speaking of AppleLink - -

Does anybody out there realize that Apple released software
for the Apple II line to use AppleLink.  When it was released they
said that Mac software would follow shortly.  When my local
user's group talked to Apple about it they said that they had 
decided NOT to release the software for Macs.
Why?
For about $35 I can buy software and run it on my Apple IIe, but
I have to be a retailer to get the software for my Mac?

Would anyone at Apple like to comment on this?

Chris

ps. For technical minded people: No, you cannot use just any terminal
program, AppleLink sends some binary information to drive that
graphical interface.  Without documentation of some sort you aren't
going to be able to write a Mac interface.
