> For a comprehensive listing of lots of interesting Lisa documents see my
> 1993 paper "the Legacy of the Apple Lisa Computer: An Outsider's View". It
> contains an extensive reference section.
>
> Here are 2 reviews I created in 1988 for the Lisa Workshop and Lisa Pascal
> compiler. Thought these may interest you. Note that my comments about the
> Workshop or compiler being derived from the Apple II (or III) systems is
> wrong. The WS and Lisa Pascal compilers had different origins (the WS was
> developed from scratch by Apple and the Pascal compiler was licensed from
> Silicon Valley Software [SWS]).

> For serious Lisa programmers, the LISA TOOLKIT was the development
> environment. It came with lots of documentation (2 large notebooks worth)
> and all the source code too. I have both the documenation and the source
> disks (I plan to scan the documentation at some point).
>
> For a great history of the Lisa see Owen Linzmayer's books "The Mac
> Bathroom Reader" or "Apple Confidential". Owen did a great job gathering
> facts from the original people, not from inaccurate 2nd hand accounts in
> books or articles which is how most computer histories seem to be made.
>
> I also have a CD filled with lots of Lisa info (ISO 9660 format compatible
> with both Mac and Windows). I am in the process of creating a 2nd CD that
> will contain all the Lisa Office System 3 user manuals and many other
> things (this CD will be finished over the Christmas holidays). I can make
> copies of these 2 CDs for US$10. Or, if you have some Lisa materials I
> don't have I can trade these CDs for copies of the materials. If you're
> interested send the money to:

> Overall, I've the Lisa's software architecture to have been very
> sophisticated and comprehensive for its time. I'm amazed that Apple was
> able to develop the Lisa in such a short time (1980-1983) with a
> relatively small number of people.

> Hope these comments are of some use to LisaListers.
