Title: Stepleton's compiled ToolKit examples?
Post by: RebeccaRGB on August 11, 2026, 12:30:28 AM
In 2023 stepleton released a disk image with compiled versions of the example ToolKit applications provided with the Workshop, complete with custom icons. It was available on stepleton.com (https://web.archive.org/web/20230207210023/http://stepleton.com/Lisa/clascal/) and was shown in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygzQZ4seWrQ). Unfortunately stepleton.com is no longer online and archive.org did not archive the disk image. Did anyone happen to save a copy?

Yeah, sorry folks, my fault for letting it bitrot. The custom icons were my own design and while I could likely recreate them from photos, I would hope instead that someone might have kept the dc42 file around. The actual compiled programs are not too hard to recreate, but someone else pulling a disk image out of their back pocket would be easiest of all.

If folks want to search their computers' hard drives, the file was called Compiled_ToolKit_Examples.dc42 (or Compiled_ToolKit_Examples.dc42.bin if you left it BinHex'd).

(In case anyone was wondering, RebeccaRGB is asking here at my suggestion and had diligently reached out to me first.)

Attached... compu85 gets the "Archivist of the week" trophy!

Google says it doesn't exist - Some of you may not be old enough (or too old :) to remember when Google was a great way to find things... (kidding, but 20 years from now, who knows)

DuckDuckGo found it in a Readme at

https://www.compu85.net/stuff/Lisa/Software/Readme.txt

The Readme shows the file in an "OtherSW" folder. However there isn't such a folder in compu85's site hierarchy as far as I can tell.

But there is a 72 MB file named "Useful Apple Lisa Files.zip" at the same level as the Readme, and ... success.

Nice!

I'll put a copy of this on my global talk share once the power comes back on after the storm...
