Apple //GS owners need not worry since ProDOS 8 handles //GS internal clock differently from Thunder Clock/Compatibles. I've devised the following patch to get around the problem by changing several lines of code in Infosnarf. If you do not have clock card in your Apple // (//GS owners need now worry since ProDOS 8 handles //GS internal clock differently) you will not need this patch. Like the Infocom_Pro, this patch is supplied as-is so use it at your own risk. From BASIC.SYSTEM set the prefix to appropriate volume/subdirectory where infosnarf is kept, then enter the following (ignoring comments enclosed in '/* ... */') ]BLOAD INFOSNARF ]CALL-151
