Hi
Does anyone have Lisa Office System source listings?
I'm trying to find the source listing to such programs as the Lisa Desktop
Manager (Lisa Finder in Mac parlance) or any of the Lisa applications such
as LisaWrite.
Paper listings are fine. I just want to see how these programs were built
That sounds reasonable since Microsoft worked on both Lisa and
Macintosh
projects. I know Microsoft worked on a version of UNIX for the Lisa

I think I've seen copies floating around.
As far as I know, Microsoft's GUI
And the following Lines are very interesting, cause Jef Raskin didn't
agree with Bruce Horn's notes, so a very very very interesting
discussion began and there you can read some remarkable facts, who
cloned what (or even copied from whom) and then tried to tell the rest
of the world that
the Lisa ads I have. I just moved
to a new house and have not had time to do this scanning. Will do so by the

I think you mean PictureWorld... (Dataland was the one from M.I.T.)
True, this one was from 1980,

It wasn't my intention to originally ask for copies of software,
