-Ditto for me.  It's getting to look like it might be profitable to just
-post it.

If you guys refer to the text files starting with "CALL -151",
you don't need a special program.  Just download the file onto
your Apple's disk filesystem (for sake of this example let's
name it "EXECFILE"), then from AppleSoft BASIC (] prompt) if
you're using DOS 3.3, type "EXEC EXECFILE", or using ProDOS
type "-EXECFILE".  It should unpack itself.
