A2 File Cmd 0.7 — Two panels. One Apple II.

  • Changed the title page: each build names itself (- 65C02, ENHANCED Apple IIe / - 6502, UNENHANCED Apple IIe, no mouse) so one knows which build booted.
  • Fixed the HGR viewer leaving an RGB card (Le Chat Mauve, Video-7) in a mode it never asked for: raising AN3 clocked the card's mode latch with 80COL off, so two HGR pictures in a row drifted it to BW560; it is now clocked to COL140, its power-on state.
  • Fixed both DHGR viewers on machines where a directory read shares memory ProDOS does not promise to leave alone (an Apple //c, seen on POM2): a raw DHGR page was refused as not an image and a packed one (.RLE) hung the viewer, because their auxiliary plane was filled with $2000-$3FFF routed to the auxiliary bank; both now decode in main memory and move the plane across with AUXMOVE.
  • Fixed a phantom mouse click at start-up: the first reading of the mouse reported the button held down at the top-left corner, which the viewer took for an Escape and, at the root, dropped to the volume list. The launcher now primes the mouse once so the false press is discarded. Most visible on an Apple //c and on any machine with an AppleMouse, where every picture and menu bounced back to the volumes.
