Have you a program that will transfer text files from your host to your Apple (if your "unix box" supports XModem, then almost any Apple communications software will do it)?

APPLE2-L 88-00531 72 192 BLU V2.28 Documentation APPLE2-L 88-00532 75 724 BLU228.EXEC Ah but there's the rub, LISTSERV@BROWNVM won't let UUCP users retrieve files from the archive and comp.binaries.apple2 doesn't archive. > 3.

Coop and the Big Red Computer Club (in Nebraska -- advertises in InCider and A+) both carry extensive public domain/shareware libraries. Big Red's catalog provides more description of what's on the disks, but my impression is that A.P.P.L.E.'s library is larger. > 4. Is there any apple II GS users in Fremont, CA, other > than me? Your best bet; I hope someone on the net can put you in touch with one.
