On tybalt.caltech.edu, type 'cd pub/apple2' to get to the apple II stuff. The programs are divided into different directories. Once you see a program you like, type 'get ' and the file will be downloaded to your Unix directory. Once you have a file you need to downloaded. Typical files need to be first UnBinscii'd then run through ShrinkIt. At tybalt, pickup a copy of binscii which is speciall formatted so you don't need binscii to unpack it (!!). Also, read the README file there, it should tell you everything else you need to know about downloading Apple II software. -- ++------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T---S-H-A-R-E-W-A-R-E---O-R---D-I-E-!-----------++ || Tim Meekins || Snail Mail: || Apple II || || meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu || 8372 Morris Rd. || Forever! || \\___timm@pro-tcc.cts.com________/\____Hilliard, OH 43026__/\_____________//
