Older issues of Nibble used a checksumming program called Key Perfect with
their listings to verify that a program was keyed in properly. (They
switched to a different scheme called CheckIt at some point, for which a
simple validator was included in every issue. I even extended CheckIt to
generate lists of codes, so I could use the Applesoft Turbo Editor (also
published in Nibble) to enter the program and then go back and check it in a
kind of "batch" mode.) I never got around to snagging a copy of Key Perfect
back in the day, but now I'm starting to OCR my Nibble collection. Would
anybody have a copy of this program that I could obtain? It'd make the
scanning/OCRing job go much faster.
(So far, I've scanned in the August 1985 issue and have a bunch of
multi-page 600-dpi TIFFs; they're then OCR'd into text. The article text is
manually converted to HTML with some simple markup, while the programs will
be left as plain text that can be EXEC'd to create the appropriate BASIC or
binary files. The programs will be stored in ready-to-run form, along with
the articles and listings. Some issues I've run into with the first listing
are why I'm asking if anyone has the program available.)
