Rob,

Sorry I don't. I'm just recalling a conversation I had about 20 years
ago.

The only program I remember right now is the Merlin 816 assembler,
which could somehow take advantage of the chip.

I seem to recall some patch to some office program (the advertisement
showed a pie chart - maybe some proto Lotus 1-2-3?) that could also
use it.

And that's all I remember.

There was certainly never any patch or module that would enhance
AppleWorks in any way, that's for sure.
