   Some corrections:
- It's _Twilight_ 1 and 2 that are available. "Twili_te_" is a stripped
  down version of Twilight II for SoftDisk G-S that has been proposed,
  but not done.
- Twilight 1 is a major hack. Don't use it. It's not compatible with
  DreamVoir (which in itself is incompatible with 6.0.1), and does
  not do things in a very legal way. My system got a lot stabler when
  going from T1 to T2.
- Twilight 1, despite what you claim, is SHAREWARE. You like it, you
  send in da $. (But, sending it in won't get you any discount on T2,
  so just buy T2, and dump T1) There a lot of programmers out here for
  Apple IIGS stuff in general, and your 'never support the programmers who
  are supporting you' attitude is a bit risky.
