I have a few questions that I believe would be beneficial to many
comp.sys.apple readers:

What does one need for a complete set of Apple II Plus utilities to
download the various files that are posted to comp.binaries.apple2
(aka Apple2-L) ?

I finally have a version of BinSCII (v1.0.3) which smoothly runs on my
II Plus. However, II+ UnShrinkIt 1.0 has trouble when unshrinking files
that belong in a subdirectory on the destination drive. Also, the copy
of BLU2.28 that I have crashes to the monitor at $2022:BRK upon
execution.

I have several unBinSCII'd files with the following extensions (I don't
mean file types, but filename extensions), what programs are needed to
produce usable files from these:

FILE.BQY
FILE.BNY
FILE.SHK        II+ UnShrinkIt >1.0? more recent version?
FILE.BIN

Could someone send me the latest II+ UnShrinkIt and II+ BLU ?
Please, only encript them with BinSCII - that's all I have running.
