APPLE2-L is a list on LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET that archives public
domain and shareware for the Apple 2 series (in "hexified" binary).
Approximately 200 accounts are subscribed (is that many or not?).

APPLE2-L is easy to access from bitnet, reasonably reachable from
the Internet (arpa, mil, etc.), and nearly impossible to access from
Usenet (UUCP) although some UUCP addresses can receive files as they
are posted (but not retrieve them from the archive).

I think (but do not know for sure until you try it) that you can
access APPLE2-L by mail from udel.edu

You should be able to subscribe to the APPLE2-L software list
by sending mail to: LISTSERV@BROWNVM.bitnet (you may have to use
listserv%brownvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu) with the body of the mail:

SUBSCRIBE APPLE2-L your_1st_name your_last_name

You may be able to get a list of previous files by sending mail
to LISTSERV@BROWNVM.bitnet with the body of the mail:

INDEX APPLE2-L

If INDEX works, you can get previously posted files by sending mail
to LISTSERV@BROWVNVM.bitnet with the body of the mail:

GET APPLE2-L 88-nnnnn (where 'nnnnn' is a file number - that's why
                       you need the INDEX).
You can request more than one file in a single mailing.

To post a program to APPLE2-L send it as mail to:

APPLE2-L@BROWNVM.bitnet (Note the address for commands like INDEX and
       GET is NOT the same as for posting -- sending to the wrong
       address causes you not to get the files or post the files so
       please PAY ATTENTION <don't mean to yell, but you'd be surprised
       at the number of sleepy people we have on this net>)
