Didn't Don Lancaster cover this in one of his books about the Apple II?

I think I have the book somewhere, bought because I found it cheap.  But 
never paid attention to anything but the chapter on disassemblying 
programs, because I didn't have an Apple II back then.

One might check Don's website, www.tinaja.com, because he has released 
soem of his older books as free ebooks.
