I have just spent sever aggravating hours online trying to get the hyperc
documentation off of plains.nodak.edu.

Now I appreciate that fact that someone took the effort to not only type in
(or scan, still no small task) the dox but also broke it up so 5.25 inch
disk'ers wouldn't get screwed, but who was the idiot who packed them in
such an unattainable format? the files read "hypercadd.shk", and even when
I set everything to binary, get it and d/l it, Shrinkit 3.2.3 cant
recognise it.

Every other apple FTP uses Binscii and Shrinkit to pack things up nice and
tidy for anal UNIX systems, why not these? Why not just have complete,
unpacked, standard text so that we could at least use the campus line
printers to get a hard copy of the file, then remove it?

I'll probably be a lot less angry when i get some sleep now, but it sure
seems like someone clearly didn't use their head.
