Beagle Bros (without the period at the end) is alive and well and making lots of money marketing a whole line of AppleWorks add-ons called "The Timeout Series" They've dropped or at least not actively marketing the old Apple II utilities. There was recently a 1/2 price sale on their older stuff. They've recently hired one regular here on Info-apple, Morgan Davis, the famous author of Proline, the outstanding Bulletin Board software. It was recently announced or soon to be announced that they will be marketing the communications program "Point-To-Point". Getting on the Appleworks bandwagon was a good move for them as well as all of the Appleworks users out in Appleland. The Timeout series really turn Appleworks into a outstanding program. Beagle Bros operates a Proline site itself and is reachable from UUCP net by adddressing to: crash!pro-beagle!mdj I don't understand why you haven't heard about them. They advertise in most of the Apple II mags, like A+ and InCider. proline: pro-novapple!daveharv uucp: crash!pro-novapple!daveharv arpa: crash!pro-novapple!daveharv@nosc.mil Internet: daveharv@pro-novapple.cts.com Norther
