Hello all.

    I will soon be the prowd owner of a (used) Commodore Pet computer.  The
last time I played with one was in the late 70's, so I'm a little out of the
picture.
    Are there any FTP sites that have Pet software?  [Don't laugh, there's
a Color Computer archive at Princeton.]  If there is, is there any way to get
software from another machine to it?  I forget if it had a serial port or
if perhaps a C64 can read/write Pet disks?
    Failing that, are there user groups or third-party companies that might
have anything left over?

Any and all pointers are apprecited.  Please reply in E-mail, but if you think
there's interest, post as well and I'll follow this group for a few weeks.

Thanks 10^6,
