[Coco] OS9 Shanghai written in Basic09 requires GUIB

[Bill Pierce]

Barry, after searching about 8 or 9 VHD archives, I finally found "shang2.dat". I also found the GUIB game and app collection which really shows of what GUIB is capable of. If I'm not mistaken, GUIB was originally started by Brother Jeremy, then picked up by Shawn Driscoll and enhanced greatly!

The "shangx.dat" files are as follows:
shang1.dat - game tiles (Icons)
shang2.dat - title screen (VEF)
shang3.dat - background image under gameboard (VEF)

You will also need "env.file" and "earth.sys" in your "SYS" dir as well as "stdfonts", "stdptrs", "stdpats_2", "stdpats_4", and "stdpats_16" which have to be merged as:
merge /dd/sys/stdfonts /dd/sys/stdptrs /dd/sys/stdpats_2 /dd/sys/stdpats_4 /dd/sys/stdpats_16

Guib and Shanghai also assume you are already in a type 5 graphics window. So you'll need to start a type 5 window (hence the need for the fonts, pointers, and patterns)

Also included on the disk will be "Shanghai Editor" also by Shawn Driscoll which allows you to make your own tile sets.

Let me put together a disk image and I'll send it to you.

I also have the ROM pak version, and I actually own the ROM pak, but I was
curious about this version. I am still looking for shang2.dat, I have GUIB now,
and shang1.dat and shang3.dat.

downloaded a copy of "Shanghai (OS-9) (Shawn Driscoll) (Coco 3)" from
http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com, however when I tried to run it I ran into a
problem. It seems to require a library/subroutine module called "GUIB". I can't
seem to find "GUIB" anywhere. Google only found one reference, and that did not
have a download link. Does anyone on this list have a copy of guib or know where
I can find it?
