Ancient 6502 FOCAL source code

Well, you're in luck, as Larry Fish, one of the founding members of the still barely surviving Denver Area 6502 Users' Group wrote a history in which he does, to some extent, tell the tale, naming names and spelling out events. That's accessible at www.6502group.org. It's not "up" at this moment, so I don't have the exact URL, but when the site's up, the history is readily available. The "group" lives on in that some of the guys still get together once a week, come hell or high water, at the Colorado School of Mines Computing Center, and BS about various things, though 6502's seldom get a mention unless I show up, which I do every few years. The group is more interested in PIC's and PC's these days, and the main hobby is Windows-bashing, since Windows doesn't tolerate the sort of hands-on use to which Micro users of old are accustomed. I'm trying to get file space made avaialble (there was initially a plan to provide one) on the group's web site, so I/we/they can put the rest of the 6502 group software out there where various interested parties can get at it. I also have (somewhere) manuals for the PAL65 assembler, FOCAL, a full-screen editor called Mr.Ed, and the XPL0 compiler, though Loren Blaney probably has more current information on that, since he's been maintaining it over the years.
