Warren,

Did Alan (or Beagle) ever have an internal 'white paper' or docs on exactly
how to write a machine language TimeOut program for AppleWorks?

I know Randy said that Mark Munz was the first guy to figure it out on his
own, and I believe Barclay Clemesha and Christian Serreau did as well.

With the source code to many older Apple II programs now available
(especially all of Glen Bredon's utilities), it would be neat to try to
write a new TimeOut or two.

Have you ever seen such an animal, or know who might still have it?
