The first version of Applesoft was released in 1977 on cassette tape and lacked proper support for high-resolution graphics. Apple employees, including Randy Wigginton, adapted Microsoft's interpreter for the Apple II and added several features. It is also referred to as FP BASIC (from floating point) because of the Apple DOS command used to invoke it, instead of INT for Integer BASIC.Īpplesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple Computer and Microsoft. It supersedes Integer BASIC and is the BASIC in ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model. Applesoft BASIC is a dialect of Microsoft BASIC, developed by Marc McDonald and Ric Weiland, supplied with the Apple II series of computers.
