In-Reply-To: message from Les_Ferch@MTSG.UBC.CA

Les Ferch wrote a lot of stuff, which I won't repeat here.

I'll separate D-Code from Double-Take.  Sorry about the goof.  In the transfer
section, I'll add the note to use 128 Xmodem/Checksum, AE/ProDOS mode. 
ProLine does not support Zmodem.

The manuals for the some of the old stuff are on 8" disks for some type of
Linotronic machine, not easily portable to ProDOS text format.  They will be
rekeyed and made available on pro-beagle, but not anytime soon.

The disks will stay in ShrinkIt disk format, with both ProDOS and DOS 3.3
versions (where applicable) stored in the same file.  Management wants them
distributed in whole, in the same format as originally distributed (5.25"
disks only.)

GPLE has not been posted (yet) because it was originally licensed from Neil
Konzen, who doesn't work for us.  If/when we get permission from Neil, it will
be made available.  Someone else asked about Power Print; I'll post it
tomorrow if there's a time when someone isn't downloading one of the Beagle
Oldies at 300 baud.  (It was pretty busy today.)

If you want the hard-coded pathnames removed from programs like Pro-Byter, do
it yourself; better yet, buy Program Writer to help you do it.  :-)

I'm sure I have a list of version numbers & revision dates around the office
somewhere; I'll add that information and the file lengths to the file list
when I get a chance.

For those who were still wondering, ProLine doesn't support FTP.  It would be
a neat trick for the Apple IIe, though.  The files are too large to mail,
either in text format or with ProLine's binary rcp transfer.

Someone asked about getting the old stuff through Beagle Buddies; BBuds can,
at their option, copy the programs for their user group people.
