  Beagle Bros are still alive and well, but they've shifted their production
from general programming aids to AppleWorks utilities.  These include pop-up
calculators, spelling checkers and notepads.  Another powerful and profit-
able AppleWorks add-on is a macro package that allows for pre-programmed
sequences to be executed along with some neat 'if-then-else' logic and 'peek-
ing', 'poking' and 'calling'.
  I had heard that they were trying to create a similar type of software for
AppleWorks GS, but they found it too slow and buggy for it to be worthwhile.
But I wouldn't hold my breath for new software similar to what they used to
write.  They're busy writing accounting and telecommunication packages for
AppleWorks, I believe.
