Nibble stopped using Key Perfect. What you want is either Accutype or
CheckIt. Accutype is *extremely* difficult to get. I've been trying for
months. CheckIt is more readily available.
 
Typing in Nibble programs, even small ones, is a very time consuming task.
An Applesoft editor such as PROGRAM WRITER helps. You could also use a
text editor or word processor to write the code and then EXEC that file
into memory. But the quickest way, if you've got QUICKIE & INWORDS, is to
scan the code into a text file and then EXEC that file into memory.
 
Normally you must manually type a line of Applesoft at the BASIC prompt
and then hit the return key before CHECKIT shows you the checksum for that
particular line. Scott Alfter wrote a patch for CHECKIT that lets you
develop the checksum, for each individual line, AFTER your program is in
memory. It isn't ACCUTYPE but it is much better that the interactive
entry/checking method of regular CHECKIT. Scott's file is in the A2PRO
area of GEnie.
