I agree it might be difficult & tedius to chain multiple programs
together using the Beagle Compiler, but if you are implying that
chaining regular Applesoft programs together is prone to some random
trashing between modules, I assure you that is not the case. You can
succesfully chain multiple problems together with common variables,
machine language routines, and the hi-res screen without problems.
