No, unfortunately Beagle Bros. no longer exists. The company shut down in 1989 or 1990. Mind you, many of their programs were released to the public (as freeware I think). See the end of this message for a list. > Any ideas?

That's what I'm really interested in at the moment. Which one? They have so many enhancements for Applesoft that it is hard to tell which one you want. They had one called GPLE (Global Program Line Editor) and they had a program called Beagle BASIC but I have never used this and they also made a BASIC compiler.

DOS Boss is available from GEnie and I'm sure it must be on a ftp site somewhere. > I usually use assembly and FPbasic on my apple IIc, and I would > like to know if there is something I can do with the language card > to store stuff other than integer basic there, and then write > protect it... THNX... You could check some of the Beagle Bros. other stuff that is available on GEnie. They had lots of neat tips and techniques so you might end up learning more than you wanted to know. :) Anyways, here is a quick list of Beagle Bros. programs I came up with from my GEnie file list.
