You will probably see a bunch of |directories in the apple2 directory, one of them being GS. The rest of the |directories (Lang, Shell, Games, Util) are for the 8-bits. Are you sure about that? I just came from tybalt.caltech.edu a few minutes ago, and I don't remember seeing a GS directory in the apple2 directory. I also grabbed a file in the games directory titled "death.bsq" (no "gs" to be seen in the title) then took a look at the file header and saw something like "This is a GS modem game I got from....." A couple of weeks ago I got the file "qburt.bsq" (no "gs" in this filename either) from tybalt, only to find out that it too was a GS game. "antetris.bsq" was also in the games directory, and if I remember correctly, it's a GS game too. btw... what hapened to all the sound files in the softdac directory? . Galen Komatsu !
