After 35 years, the Apple II Desktop gets an update from version 1.1 to 1.2 alpha 35. There are a host of new improvements. I installed it on my IIGS and it seems to work well. It should work on the Apple IIe, IIc, and Laser 128 machines as well.

This is the ultimate OS for the IIc+!
Whoa. That’s very cool.
Henri Lamiraux, one of the co-authors named at the linked page, was my boss at Apple in ‘95-96. By then he was tech lead for the Frameworks team (ODF + MacApp), possibly among other things. I was a lowly intern but thought he was a nice and impressive guy. He had previously co-authored Studio/8 and Studio/32. I had no idea he was (much earlier) involved in MouseDesk.

...and we are translating it in several languages too 
Sweet!
Indeed! The feature of loading the whole program in the RAM expansion is a killer feature on the IIc+ - you keep the DeskTop working and you have free drive(s) for more software to use.
Wow, that makes me want a 2C+ again!
