Either: delton@pro-carolina.UUCP = delton%pro-carolina.uucp@PSUVAX1

APPLE2-L, the ftp sites, and comp.binaries.apple2 require a 7-bit version,
Genie, AppleLink and the rest would prefer 8-bit.  So...

GET SHRINKIT and BINSCII from LISTSERV@BROWNVM (email LISTSERV@BROWNVM the
command INDEX APPLE2-L to identify which files you want from the archive).

Use ShrinkIT to turn a DOS 3.3 disk into a ProDOS file (leave out the DOS
'cause it'll just take space AND it isn't strictly legal to include it
anyway).  Upload the resulting ProDOS library file to Genie, AppleLink, etc.

Use BINSCII to convert the ShrinkIT file into (several) files which you
can email to APPLE2-L@BROWNVM (which will forward them to the known
Universe ;-)
