Now that comp.sources.apple2 is begining activity, I am sure
that the amount of source code will increase.

What is needed is a port of the programs provided by the
moderator and friends into a format which is compatible with
the entire Apple II line: Apple II thru Apple IIgs.
C code is not going to make it - too many folks stuck with too
many options.

Either a .system type program, or an Applesoft program is likely
to be the most portable.

While someone is at it, a similar type thing for uuencode/uudecode
would probably be useful until a Unix/MSDOS/VMS/other version of
a BINSCII encoder is available.
