@GyroPilot GyroPilot released this 03 Nov 12:42

LisaFetch 0.1 for the Apple Lisa Office System, 2 November 2026 (release build REV B). Tool 419325.

Fetches a plain text file from the web and saves it on the Lisa as a Workshop .TEXT file, ready for the Editor and
the Pascal compiler: press G, type the address (a raw GitHub file works well), give it a name. Asked for by Chris
Rupnik, who wanted a way to get source text files onto a Lisa.

Works through an ESProFile running ESPFuji (https://github.com/GyroPilot/ESPFuji), an RS-232 FujiNet on Serial B or
A, or a LisaFPGA with LisaNet; the top line says which one it found. Up to 32 KB per file through ESPFuji; no fixed
limit through a serial FujiNet.

Tested on a Lisa 2/10 through an ESProFile running ESPFuji 1.1 beta (2 November 2026): a 42-line exec file from
GitHub saved as a Workshop text file, and the "Replace it?" question when fetching to the same name again. It only
replaces a file once the new copy has arrived whole.

New since the 0.1 test build: the ESPFuji mailbox is looked for as "ESPFuji Mailbox" first, then MAILBOX.DATA, so
existing setups keep working; the floppy's tool name no longer has trailing spaces.

sources and exec files), SHA256SUMS.txt. MIT licence.
