with this slow a BASIC would have been tough.
IIRC, "professional" developers were expected to use Pascal or C.
Maybe with ProDOS and the IIgs, but not with AppleDOS and the
II/II+/IIe/IIc/IIc+. "Real" apps were either assembly or perhaps
compiled BASIC. Not a lot of serious language choices on 6502
platforms prior to 1986.
The PFS suite ran on Apple ][e, at least, and was written in C.
I don't have a year on it, but I want to say before 1986 at a minimum.
