LisaFetch 0.1 (test build)

LisaFetch 0.1, a test build (30 October 2026). Not yet run on a real Lisa: please report what happens, good or bad, in Issues.

Fetches a plain text file from the web and saves it on the Lisa as a Workshop .TEXT file for the Editor and the Pascal compiler. Press G, type the address (a raw GitHub file works well), then a name for it on the Lisa. It asks before replacing a file, and replaces it only when the new one has arrived whole.

Works through an ESPFuji ESProFile, an RS-232 FujiNet on Serial B (or A), or a LisaNet. Up to 32 KB per file through an ESPFuji drive. Plain text only; downloads only.

Tested so far: built with the Workshop 3.0 and run on the Lisa Office System in LisaEm, fetching a GitHub file through a serial FujiNet stand-in (the saved file matched GitHub's line for line); its output is byte-identical to the Workshop text files the build tools make.

Files: LisaFetch_0.1_test.zip (the floppy image and a read-me) or LISAFETCH_0_1.dc42 alone. Tool 419325. MIT licence.

2 November 2026: the floppy was remade on the Lisa desktop from the installed tool, so the name reads "LisaFetch" without trailing spaces. The program itself is unchanged.
