I downloaded it after seeing your message and you're right, it IS
extremely fast, and its interface is very usable. Thanks for the
pointer.

ObAppleII: OK, here's a puzzle for you die-hard 6502 fans. You have
a 48k Apple ][ Plus with a 6502 processor and all slots empty. Your 
goal is to write a program that will fill the whole RAM space ($0000
through $BFFF) with the same value (of your choice). You must not call
any routine in ROM. Your program must use only documented opcodes.
Good luck.

This puzzle is not from me, I saw it in the November, 1985 issue
of Bob Sander-Cederlof's fantastic newsletter Apple Assembly Line.
