  I didn't think anyone remembered them! I recall writting hacks in
thier "Beagle Basic" they put out. It was a customizable basic
for the Apple II. I still have my //e, and just recently convinced
my father that using 40 column Visicalc(tm) was not as easy as Lotus 1-2-3
on my 10MHz IBM clone. (slight grin)

  Another trick the bro's sold was a "copy-protect your program" program.
If you "protected" your program with it and then tried to load and
list it, nothing would appear. It was if the memory had been cleared. BUT!
if you typed in "run", sure enough... off it went. Never had time to check
this out, but it was a neat protection scheme... for Basic programs that
is. <grin>

   ..Remember Snake Byte?? :)
