DLM did educational software in the 80s. I had access to a few disks of theirs when I was younger, tried to copy them for myself and failed. Of course now, I'd prolly succeed.

Enhanced Debugging Monitor.The trick is this: press opt-ctrl-reset at any time to break into the monitor. Kind-of like the original Apple ][ ROM. I used it to break a NIB of "Elementary Vol.9" just to see if I could - when it boots, if you ctrl-c it, it'll hang, then if you ctrl-reset, it'll reboot. So I broke into the monitor and moved the RWTS out of the way. Worked nicely when I then went and took the RWTS image into Advanced Demuffin.
The brun-run trick was so I could stuff a bunch of files together, then execute one. It would relocate everything into proper places, and then do a RUN. A second trick, the run-brun trick (BASIC stub), is used all the time on the C64, and I've been using it on the Apple for awhile. Combining the two could make for some real wacky obfuscation indeed.
