1. I wish I knew of a 'local Apple bbs that permits transfers'; most of the
apple boards locally have bitten the dust.  Usenet and CIS are the only
sources of new public domain software that I am aware of.

2. Executioner is a compression into text program by Glen Bredon, author
of Merlin, Pro-Commander, ProSel, Crypt, etc.  Basically it takes a prodos
file, encodes it's file attributes and contents into a short machine language
decompression exec and series of text data lines.  One then exec's the 
resulting file and in turn gets a prodos file on their disk.

Note that it works well in conjunction with BLU, which is a program similar
in concept to the IBM arc command.  Prodos or DOS files and their file
attributes are archived togeter.  The current generation of BLU allows
Hoffman(Huffman?) compression.
