The Apple II archives at BROWNVM are accessable by e-mail as well as by ftp.
For a complete list of Apple II files on the server, send a message with
the text

INDEX APPLE2-L

to LISTSERV@brownvm.brown.edu (or LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET).  To get
instructions on using the listserver, send the message

HELP

to the same address.

There is (or was--I haven't checked on it for quite some time) a similar
server at UTARLVM1.BITNET.  It works just like BROWNVM, except that you send
your mail to LISTSERV@UTARLVM1.BITNET instead of LISTSERV@brownvm.brown.edu.
This server tends to emphasize games and game-related files.  (UTARLVM1
also appears to be attached to Internet under the name utarlvm1.uta.edu.)

If you want to get stuff from the other ftp sites by mail, send a message
with the text

HELP

to BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET.  You should get a message back explaining what you
have to do.

(If you have trouble sending to all these Bitnet addresses, try forwarding
through one of the Internet<->Bitnet gateways--for example, use
"LISTSERV%UTARLVM1.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu" instead of
"LISTSERV@UTARLVM1.BITNET".)
