I think it's 1.3. It's on an old Mortgage investment program disk that's
been sitting in my garage loft for three years (temperature ranges from -10
to 120 degrees F). I'm surprised that it even worked.

O.K. I'll try to see if I can find it or not. Was there a program that
would let you run Apple ][ Programs? I have about 100 program disks
without a working apple (I actually have a Franklin 2000). Or does the
disk controller thing come into play?
