Well, thanks to all the helpful people who sent me mail, I now have the answers to three of the four questions I posted...

There is a helpful list of anonymous ftp sites on pilot.njin.net (128.6.7.38), which lists apple.com's number as 130.43.2.2. However, I was told that I could also use the name instead of having to remember a number (very helpful, I can't remember that many numbers :-)

Dave Whitney sent me version 1.2 of SCIIBIN, and he seems to have updated the prog to v1.2, so he should know where to get SCIIBIN.

Finally, there is a program by Andy McFadden called NuLib, which will extract BInary II and NuFX archives, and will pack a file into a NuFX archive that ShrinkIt will recognize, but it doesn't use the LZW method of compression.

I still haven't found out how to access the Apple2-l archive site though, so would anyone with info please send it to me?

Dave Huang
