Actually, they were the Beagle Bros, but I pick nits.

Bert Kersey is now retired.  Beagle Bros was purchased by Mark Simonsen (sp?),
who was himself a Brother (Bros?).

Unfortunately, they now specialize only in end-user type applications, and
have a very successful line of add-on AppleWorks products.  They no longer
sell anything in the line of utilities (other than their Triple-Dump
graphics printing package).

All, however, is not lost, as Beagle Bros now has a bboard where they have
placed nearly all of their "classic" programs.  They're "nearly freeware;"
that is to say, you may download them and give them to friends, but not
upload them anywhere.

Unfortunately, I don't think I want some of these old programs badly enough
to spend a couple of hours on the phone to San Diego.
