My current means to get programs to Spectre is with the Xverter software,
which only deals with ~400K "Spectre/Mac" disks. Usually I stuff and/or
binhex them.

Now we have LARGE programs (Excel, Word 4.0) which, even stuffed, are
too big for Xverter. I cannot afford a special disk partition formatted
for xverter to write to. I thought of splitting the binhex files into
pieces, but cannot find a Mac program to put them back together, since
all the Mac programs seem to want to hold the file in memory and I only
have a 1040. Maybe someone has an idea (a Unix cat?).

A subsidiary query is for recommendations for a good memory expansion,
preferably to 4Meg., including address. The only one I have seen mentioned
is EZ RAM II: solderless (!), only 2.5Meg.

Roll on GCR!
