While currently I cant remember the name of the program, my latest, rather
up-to-date filelist of the APPLE2-L list on the LISTSERV@BROWNVM.Bitnet
still shows the following entry:

     APPLE2-L 88-00541   ALL OWN V      75   208 88/03/16 00:03:41
         -> 80 column text for ][s in software, 4-BIT PACKING.

So a "GET APPLE2-L 88-00541 APPLE2-L" mailed to the LISTSERV@BROWNVM.Bitnet
should give you a copy (in the self-decoding Executioner-format "4-BIT
PACKING"). Therefore, you might also find it on one of the Apple II FTP
archives (didnt check that). If both sources fail to supply you with a
useable copy, ring me and Ill pack the files and send them off to you.


PS: I *do* remember that the authors name is Mark Kriegsman (sp ?) and at
least his 80 column software doesnt come from Germany.
