I have a personal project I am working on involving translating a program from Basic to Pascal. I have the Lisa Emulator up and running and I have the modern IDE to do the bulk of the coding in Pascal.
Where things are going sideways is that I am having trouble finding a image of the Lisa Workshop. All the ones I have been able to find appear in a format not compatible, either they say .dc42 yet the Lisa Emulator can't read it or there is no indicator of what format the files are in.
So I figured the best way is to turn to others who are smarter than me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which version of the Workshop are you looking for? Workshop 1.0 doesn't create LOS applications, at least easily, as far as I know. Workshop 2.0 might, and Workshop 3.0 provides the most complete toolset to create real LOS applications.
If you need to download a ready-made Workshop 3.0 disk image or set of installation disks, we can certainly help in both cases. The latter is available here:

Hi - which version of LisaEm are you using? If it's not something built from master or released in, say, the last 12-18 months, there's a good chance you're hitting some bugs that have already been fixed.
I am using LisaEm 1.2.7. I also realized where the problem was. It was with me. ;D I re-read the instructions and I found out I need to treat it like I did with LOS. Insert the disk and boot from the floppy. I was also able to update to Lisa Workshop 3.9. Amazing what you can do when you READ and FOLLOW direction. ???
A question for the general audience: is Workshop 3.9 desirable? I remember that the floating point libraries introduce breaking changes for some code that compiled with WS 3.0 (hence this warning (https://codeberg.org/stepleton/LisaMandelbrot/src/branch/master/Pro#building-lisamandelbrot-pro)), and I worried that there may be other differences too.
I developed a hunch that the 3.9 update may have mainly been intended to support improved Macintosh application development, but I don't have any evidence for it.

- In Chrome (with uBlock Origin on or off) I get "Access Denied"
- In Safari (pure vanilla) I get "If you are an AI scraper, and wish to not receive garbage when visiting Codeberg: stop visiting. If you are not an AI scraper: contact Codeberg." And the contact info says "Response times will be very long." Which I take to mean never since why would they care.
- curl seems like it might have been able to retrieve the page ok but I didn't try to render it.
Is the warning small enough to quote/embed here?
