There was no documentation with Z-link. Dennis, Your problem with Z-Link lies not with the file, but because you seem to have missed a step. There is a program that is called BLU and it is available on the Apple2-L List (Listserv@Brownvm.bitnet). This program will be the key to your problem. Most of the time, when a file ends with a '.bny' or '.bqy', it is either squeezed or a binary II file. BLU will allow you to extract or unsqueeze files of these 2 types. As for the problem with your kermit, try useing the original ProDOS disk, it's worked for me, it should work for you. (The User's disk) David William Wrage a.k.a.
