Ah yes, those were the good ol' days...

Beagle started getting off the track when they put out MacroWorks, an
enhancement for AppleWorks.  Now, they are toe-to-toe with (I believe)
Pinpoint publishing for the title of best AppleWorks enhancements.
(appointment book, telecommunications, desktop publishing, and so on)

Alas, the old programs are as dead as the DOS 3.3 they were written under.
Too bad.  I'd have loved to have seen what they could make ProDOS do.

Better yet, I'd REALLY like to see what they could've done on a Mac.

Imagine what kind of poke-and-peek chart they might've done for the Mac...
