Al is right. AFAIK, the CHM has never made an official announcement regarding the release of the LISA OS. Perhaps the confusion comes from this email from Al to the LisaList: -- Al Kossow Dec 24, 2017, 7:49:23 AM to [email protected]
Just wanted to let everyone know the sources to the OS and applications were recovered, I converted them to Unix end of line conventions and spaces for Pascal tabs after recovering the files using Disk Image Chef, and they are with Apple for review. After that's done, CHM will do an @CHM blog post about the historical significance of the software and the code that is cleared for release by Apple will be made available in 2018. The only thing I saw that probably won't be able to be released is the American Heritage dictionary for the spell checker in LisaWrite -- I have no idea of "why" by this date the CHM hasn't released the code. Al probably has a better handle on that than anyone. But be aware that the CHM can be somewhat "opaque" at times, with no evil intended. (I can say that, I'm one of the "Founding Members" of the CHM ;) Cheers, Lyle On Tue, 6 Apr 2021 17:28:45 -0700 Al Kossow via cctalk <[email protected]> wrote: > On 4/6/21 5:14 PM, Michael Kerpan wrote: > > So what happened to cancel the release? > > It hasn't been canceled, it just hasn't occurred. > Also, there was never an official announcement about this from CHM. > -- 73 NM6Y Bickley Consulting West https://bickleywest.com "Black holes are where God is dividing by zero"
