I'll ignore for a moment that he's already said twice that he can't save the    files to disk.  That aside, I've been doing all my DL'ing from the internet
as ascii (I use the unix ~t (take) from tip on my 2/120).  Anyway, I havn't

P.S.  Since the original poster cannot save a copy of what is posted to 
comp.binaries, could you perhaps find the article in /usr/spool/news/comp/
binaries/apple2?  Then DL it using your favorite protocol.....?
