Many word processors, spreadsheet, and Database packages have a feature that
will save the file/files on the desktop at a timed interval. 

My question to the net is this:

Does anyone have or know of a patch that will do this for Appleworks V 3.x? 

I don't care if it's Freeware, Shareware, Beggarware, commercial...I just
want one. Preferably one that will allow me to select my own interval and 
then only save the file that is being worked on and then only if it has been
changed. 

It couldn't be all that hard considering that Appleworks has routines to check
for modifications to the dekstop files and for autosave directly overwriting 
with the existing filename (oa - s) 


So if you know of one please mail me.... I don't have the money for battery
backup equiptment and my particular location is prone to power failures.
