    Older issues of Nibble used a checksumming program called Key Perfect

    extended CheckIt to generate lists of codes, so I could use the
    Applesoft Turbo Editor (also published in Nibble) to enter the
    program and then go back and check it in a kind of "batch" mode.) I
    never got around to snagging a copy of Key Perfect back in the day,
    but now I'm starting to OCR my Nibble collection. Would anybody have
    a copy of this program that I could obtain? It'd make the
    scanning/OCRing job go much faster.

    I have an original copy of the program disk and manual. The only
    problem is that I don't have a dsk image and I can't remember if the
    program is copy protected or not. If is not, I may have copied the
    binary file to another disk.

    Since the Apple IIe is in the attic, I won't go get it unless you are
    not able to get a copy from someone else.

    If you have no luck, let me know, and I will see what I can do.
